Two other officers were shot and survived. One of the injured officers was in critical condition on Tuesday but is expected to recover, CHP Inland Division Chief Bill Dance said at a news conference.
Moye, who served with the department for nearly three years, is survived by his wife, parents and siblings.
\"This was his dream job,\" Dance said. \"I actually met him when he was training to be a motorcycle officer.\"
\"He was a very caring and giving person,\" Dance said. \"He will be deeply missed by the California Highway Patrol.\"
\"Andre's smile says it all,\" tweeted CHP Deputy Commissioner Scott Silsbee. \"He loved being a CHP officer. His wife, friends and mother told us so as well.\"

\"Our hearts ache over the tragic loss,\" California Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted. Newsom said Moye \"will be remembered for his commitment to service and the community of Riverside County.\"
