Breaking: An L.A. County Sheriff's deputy who was shot in an attack at an Alhambra Jack in the Box has died
Giles said Nelson’s family told police he had previously suffered with substance abuse issues, and they were worried he “may have relapsed recently.”
Nelson called home again on June 4, according to Giles. He was staying in Rancho Santa Margarita in Orange County. Investigators said Tuesday that Nelson had traveled to Southern California in the first week of June. In two separate Facebook accounts — which were visible until they were blocked from public view late Wednesday morning — Nelson seemed obsessed with conspiracy theories. He shared anti-vaccine content and promoted the idea that so-called directed-energy weapons had been used to spark wildfires in California. He also posted at least two videos with instructions about modifying firearms to become fully automatic.
Five days later, in the 1900 block of East 7th Place in downtown Los Angeles, Nelson allegedly had a “brief exchange” with a 30-year-old man that ended in gunfire, according to LAPD Chief Michel Moore. The man, who was not identified, died at the scene of at least one gunshot wound. Police have not offered a motive in either shooting. Solano was not robbed and he was not wearing anything that would signify he was a law enforcement officer at the time of the attack.
