Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, slain in an unprovoked shooting last month will be laid to rest on 10/5/2023. He was fatally shot while sitting at a red light in his patrol car by a man with a history of mental illness.
Hundreds of federal and state officials along with Sheriff Luna joined Clinkunbroomer's friends and family at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels at 555 West Temple Street in downtown Los Angeles to attend his funeral. Clinkumbroomer is a third-generation member of the Sheriff's Department and had just recently proposed to his fiance.
This is what his family had to say about him in an official statement:
“Our son Ryan was a dedicated and hardworking deputy sheriff who enjoyed working here at the Palmdale station. He was proud to work along the side of his partners that he considered brothers and sisters as he sacrificed daily to better the community that he served. Ryan made the ultimate sacrifice in doing so.”
