Homicide Bureau Captain Says Deputy Angel Reinoso Made Up Story Of Being Shot - "Completely fabricated,"

Angel Reinosa: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know


Angel Reinosa, a rookie Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy, is now accused of making up the claim that he was shot by a sniper he said was firing from a perch in a four-story building.

Shortly after the shooting, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department wrote, “Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy shot in shoulder and wounded at Lancaster station; shooter at large. #LASD SEB Special Weapons Team just landed on scene and searching for shooter.” Now, though, authorities say they think Reinosa made it up.

“Angel Reinosa admitted that he was not shot at from the apartment complex area as he previously claimed,” Capt. Kent Wegener said during a news conference on the evening of August 24, 2019.

Earlier, before that stunning development, the Sheriff’s Department wrote, “#LASD Deputy struck by gunfire at @LANLASD Station. Active scene, please stay away from area.” The shooting broke out at 2:48 p.m. at the station at 501 West Lancaster Boulevard.
