On Wednesday afternoon, Westphal said that detectives trailed the car that the suspect was riding in and followed it back to an apartment complex in Rosamond. There, the deputies attempted a traffic stop.
The suspect, later identified as Boone, exited the car's passenger side and opened fire, according to Westphal, who said that he fired at least five shots toward the detectives. Deputies returned fire and shot him the chest, killing him, according to Westphal.
The woman driving the car was also shot once in the chest and taken to a local hospital, where she was treated and released Wednesday night. A 7-year-old girl was in the car's back seat but was not injured in the gunfire, Westphal said. The child's relationship to the other two people in the car was unclear.
