The two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies involved in the controversial, fatal shooting of Andres Guardado were relieved of duty this week in connection with a traffic crash that occurred two months before the 18-year-old’s death.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva ordered Deputies Miguel Vega and Chris Hernandez to be suspended pending the outcome of an investigation into the crash, Lt. John Satterfield said. He would not elaborate, citing the ongoing investigation.
