Nocco said his deputies were assisting another agency with serving a warrant at a home on Ruth Avenue Friday morning when the subject involved in the warrant, Alfredo Luis Rodriguez, 31, fired shots at deputies. Deputies returned fire, according to Nocco.

After a period of time, law enforcement entered the home and found Rodriguez dead from what Nocco said was a bullet to the head.

Part of the investigation will determine if that gunshot was self-inflicted or by law enforcement.

Nocco said Rodriguez had a lengthy criminal record.

Officials would not elaborate what homicide Rodriguez was suspected in.
