The sheriff’s department said 40-year-old Deputy Joe Weiss opened fire, but the Ayon escaped in the vehicle. Several blocks later, deputies said they confronted Ayon, but he tried to reach for something. Deputies said they then shot and killed him.

According to a press release, 20-year-old Salvador Villareal of McFarland who also fled from the vehicle and was arrested in Delano. He was charged with participating in a criminal street gang among other charges.

One man remains on the loose.
