Update: Suspect in the killing of Newman officer Ronil Singh reportedly arrested. Read the article.

Police are conducting a statewide manhunt for a man suspected of killing a Central Valley police officer early Wednesday morning, authorities said.

Ronil Singh, 33, a corporal in the Newman Police Department, died after being shot just before 1 a.m. during a traffic stop, the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office said. The shooter fled the scene.

Authorities issued a “blue alert” at 7:30 a.m. and again at 8:20 a.m. to mobile phone users in Santa Clara, Stanislaus, Merced, San Joaquin and Tuolumne counties. They also released images of a man seen at a convenience store around the time of the shooting, along with the truck he is believed to have been driving.

The truck is a gray or silver extended-cab Dodge Ram 1500, model year 2002-2009, with paper dealer plates.

Governor Jerry Brown issued a statement after the shooting.

“On behalf of all Californians, Anne (Brown’s wife) and I extend our condolences to Corp. Singh’s wife, young son, loved ones and colleagues,” Brown said. “Our hearts are with the entire community of Newman and law enforcement officers across the state who risk their lives every day to protect and serve the people of California.”

Newman is a small city off Interstate 5 north of Los Banos. Singh had been a police officer there since 2011. He was married and the father of a 5-month-old son.
