"The gunshot wound he sustained earlier today was too severe for him to overcome," Sheriff John McMahon announced in a video shared on Twitter. "Our prayers are with him and his family as we all mourn this difficult time." The sheriff's office previously said deputies in the Yucca Valley area – about a two-hour drive east of Los Angeles – attempted a traffic stop around 12:33 p.m. near Paxton Road and Imperial Drive. McMahon said late Monday that the deputies spotted a male motorcyclist who was riding without a license plate.More Related News
