Assault Suspect Who Shot Off-Duty Detective Vehicle In Santa Clarita Faces Several Felonies  

A transient was taken into custody Monday evening on several felony charges after he allegedly shot a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective vehicle with a pellet gun in Santa Clarita. 

Around 6:30 p.m. Monday, deputies were alerted by an off-duty detective of a man walking eastbound on Soledad Canyon Road near Camp Plenty Road in Canyon Country carrying a rifle, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.  

“The male was last seen entering the brush area north of Soledad Canyon Road,” Arriaga said.  

As deputies were preparing to conduct a search of the brush area, they heard the sound of metal being struck, according to Arriaga.  

“Deputies learned the off-duty detective’s vehicle had been struck by a high velocity object, causing damage,” Arriaga said.

Deputies conducted a search of a nearby homeless encampment and located a man matching the suspect description.  

“During a search of a tent the male was found in, deputies located a pellet rifle,” Arriaga said.  

The individual was positively identified as the suspect during a field identification.  

Luis Huerta Aguilar, a transient, was arrested on assault with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and vandalism, all felonies, Arriaga added. 

Aguilar was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail to be booked.

  1. This case will be thrown out by Gascon.
    The sheriffs did not have a search warrant, and illegally entered the residence of this vagrant.

  2. Recall Gascon!! He’s a mortal threat to society! We got one Rat (Newsom) let’s get another!

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
