A man who was wanted for questioning in seven Antelope Valley homicides and was suspected in an eighth was killed by authorities Thursday morning when he pulled out a weapon during his arrest, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said.

Homicide detectives tracked Jesus “Chuy” Guzman, 34, to Charleston View, a community near the Nevada border, where, along with the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Southwest Regional Task Force, they went to arrest him just before noon, the Sheriff’s Department said.

Guzman brandished a handgun at the pursuing officers and was shot. He died at the scene, and his weapon was recovered, authorities said.
