Once in the street the suspect suddenly stopped and turned toward the deputies. The suspect started to advance on the deputies while holding two large kitchen type knives, one in each hand. That’s when a deputy involved shooting occurred,” according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Information Bureau. Borrego collapsed in the street and died.
