Kevin Cataneo Salazar, 29, is accused of murdering Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, 30, near an L.A. County sheriff's station in Palmdale on Sept. 16. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Superior Court Judge Kathleen Blanchard rejected a motion by defense attorney George Rosenstock to dismiss the case against Kevin Eduardo Cataneo Salazar.
A man who allegedly confessed to the ambush shooting of a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy in Palmdale last year was ordered Thursday to stand trial on a murder charge.
