“Our Newman Police family is devastated by the loss of Ronil,” Newman Police Chief Randy Richardson said in a statement released by the sheriff's office, which is leading the investigation.
Singh is survived by his wife and 5-month-old son, according to officials.
\"Our hearts are with the entire community of Newman and law enforcement officers across the state who risk their lives every day to protect and serve the people of California,\" Brown said in the statement.
Images of the suspect were captured on surveillance video, according to the sheriff's office.
