The Tulare County Sheriff's Office has identified the man who was killed after opening fire on deputies last week.
Deputies say 32-year-old Rigoberto Lopez was wanted for a July 7 attempted murder in Ivanhoe.
Lopez was suspected of shooting a victim in the face and fleeing the scene. The victim survived.
On July 17, detectives followed a lead that Lopez was hiding at an apartment complex.
Deputies entered a unit and found him inside a concealed space behind a linen cabinet.
Lopez began shooting, forcing authorities to return fire.
Lopez died at the scene.
