A serial felon who killed a patrol deputy should have been spending his life in prison for a violent crime just a year ago, yet he was on the streets, the Riverside County, California, sheriff said.
William Shae McKay, 44, could have been incarcerated under California’s three strikes law, but he was released by a judge and went on to kill Deputy Isaiah Cordero on Thursday, said Sheriff Chad Bianco.
Cordero, 44, was fatally shot after pulling over McKay’s pickup truck in Jurupa Valley, 40 miles south of Los Angeles. He had been a sheriff’s deputy for eight years. McKay then began shooting at police, who returned fire. KTLA News filmed the incident and zeroed in on the disabled truck with several bullet holes visible in the windshield.
