Funeral set for LA sheriff's deputy shot in off-duty attack

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A large turnout is expected at the funeral of a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who was shot in an off-duty attack at a fast-food restaurant by a man also suspected of killing a renowned Russian snowboarder an hour earlier.

Deputy Joseph Solano will be memorialized Monday at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown LA.

Utah resident Rhett Nelson is charged with murder in the deaths of Solano and Dmitry Koltsov. Police haven't identified a motive for the attacks June 10.

The Los Angeles Times reports Kolstov competed at Russian snowboarding championship meets and international competitions.

The Times says the 31-year-old was skateboarding with friends in LA June 10 when he was shot.

Investigators say after shooting Kostov, Nelson drove to suburban Alhambra and shot Solano.
