The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced Wednesday that a suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with a horrific ambush attack that left two L.A. Sheriff’s deputies seriously wounded.

The Sheriff’s Department announced, at a press conference Wednesday afternoon, that charges were filed against 36-year-old Deonte Lee Murray, and that he was taken into custody following a “standoff” in Lynwood, California, more than a week ago. At the time, Murray was a suspect in a carjacking, the Los Angeles Times reports, and it was only later that the Sheriff’s office discovered his connection to the September 12th shooting.
