After Cordero got shot, McKay allegedly led authorities on a police chase along the 15 Freeway before crashing the car he was in and then getting into a shootout with officers.According to the grieving sheriff, McKay has an extensive criminal history dating back to late 1990s and early 2000s.Riverside Co. deputy fatally shot in Jurupa Valley, suspect killed following pursuit on 15 Freeway
Bianco said McKay's criminal history includes kidnappings, robbery, assaults with deadly weapons – including the stabbing of a California Highway Patrol K-9. "McKay has an extensive violent past and was convicted of his third strike in November of 2021. That case involved kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon," Bianco added.
Bianco said Cordero's death could have been prevented by the legal system. The sheriff accused a San Bernardino County judge of lowering McKay's bail and then letting him back on the streets instead of sentencing 25 years to life behind bars.DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
