Newman police Cpl. Ronil Singh was murdered earlier this week during a traffic stop, and his killer has been identified as an illegal immigrant.
The suspect sought in connection with the murder of a California cop earlier this week is in the U.S. illegally, authorities revealed on Thursday.
The unidentified man alleged to be behind the slaying of Newman police Cpl. Ronil Singh, 33, “is considered armed and dangerous,” Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said during a news conference on Thursday afternoon, vowing that the manhunt would “relentlessly continue.”

According to this, “Singh immigrated to the U.S. to pursue a career in public service.” He leaves behind his wife and 5-month-old son.
It breaks my heart. Some lawless criminal who shouldn’t even be here just robbed an infant of a lifetime with a father and a woman of a lifetime with her husband.
“We will relentlessly continue to hunt our suspect down and bring him to justice so that … we can bring closure onto this community and this police department,” Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said. “This suspect … is in our country illegally. He doesn’t belong here. He is a criminal. We will find him, we will arrest him, we will bring him to justice.”
A manhunt is currently underway.
“He loved being a police officer,” Newman Police Chief Randy Richardson said. “He loved being a husband. He loved being a father.”
“My department is hurting. We’re struggling through this,” he continued.
“He will never see his son walk,” Richardson added. “He doesn’t get to hold that little boy, hug his wife, say goodnight anymore because a coward took his life.”
It’s time to end this lawlessness now.
There is right now a full scale manhunt going on in California for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop. Time to get tough on Border Security. Build the Wall!

It’s horrible. My heart goes out to his family. I pray they receive and feel the peace that passes all understanding.
