Shortly after, assisting Industry Sheriff's Station deputies saw the stolen vehicle and initiated a traffic stop.
The suspect refused to yield and a short pursuit ensued, ending in the 15000 block of Stafford Street, across the street from the Industry Sheriff's Station.
The suspect exited the vehicle and at one point fired from a semi-automatic weapon at the deputies. A deputy involved shooting occurred.
The suspect was hit by gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene.
Although a patrol car was hit, no deputies were hit by gunfire.
A semi-automatic weapon was recovered.
