Investigators say Ernesto Casillas, known also by the name Armando Rodriguez, is suspected of shooting a female Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy on May 6, 2010. It happened in the 1700 block of 257th street, near Western Avenue in Lomita, Calif., as Deputy Lorena Rosales was approaching Casilla's vehicle during a traffic stop, according to detectives
Before I get to asking for thoughts here are a few more notes:
-Casillas was aired on AMW on Lifetime on July 20th, 2012 as a full profile. The vimeo link is above under his photo. The re-enactment suggested Casillas, who was not wanted before that night, was driving while high on some type of drug or other intoxicant. His car had been weaving in and out. Who knows if he shot at Deputy Rosales because he didn't want to go to jail for driving under the influence, was paranoid from whatever drug he was on, or some other unknown reason. (being in possession of a firearm could also be another and/or additional reason if he wasn't registered)
-Deputy Rosales shot back and shattered a window in Casillas car- but it's unknown if Casillas was injured.
Thoughts? Obviously there were a lot of strange things happening with Casillas before the shooting happened. But this guy was allegedly driving on the road high on something and shot at a deputy- so he's a danger to both civilians and the police which is why it's important he eventually gets caught. His AMW profile lists Nevada as a possible location interestingly enough so perhaps there is some hope he is still in the Northwest and hasn't fled to Mexico.
