  • Officer Brian Ishmael shot dead at an illegal marijuana farm early Wednesday
  • Carlos Vasquez Orozco, 20, from Mexico, has been charged with the shooting

Two men have been charged with fatally shooting a California cop as he responded to reports of theft at a weed farm in the Sierra Nevada foothills. 
Carlos Vasquez Orozco, 20, a Mexican national, has been charged with murder after allegedly firing the shot that killed Deputy Brian Ishmael early on Wednesday.
Romiro Bravo Morales, 22, who is also from Mexico and was in the country illegally, has been charged as an accessory to the murder. 
Meanwhile, 47-year-old Christopher Ross, who owned the house where the shootout happened and called to report the theft, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after police accused him of withholding key information.

A fourth man - Jorge Lamas, an American citizen who has been living in Mexico for years - was also charged Tuesday, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Lamas is accused of overseeing a conspiracy to grow at least 50 marijuana plants at two locations in California, including the one where Officer Ishmael was shot.
He was also charged with drug trafficking and firearms offences, the paper reports. 
Investigators say Ross called police Wednesday morning to report a theft from his marijuana farm in Somerset, around 50 miles outside Sacramento.
However, they say he failed to mention the fact that he was leasing the land to the two men and that the trio were involved in a business dispute.
'Had he been truthful with our deputies and the 911 dispatcher, this tragedy would not have occurred,' El Dorado County Sheriff John D'Agostini said.
Officer Ishmael and an off-duty police officer who was accompanying him for a ride-along were dispatched to the scene.  
When they arrived and announced their presence, 'they were immediately confronted with gunfire,' D'Agostini said. Both returned fire.

Ishmael was shot twice during a hail of gunfire - once in the foot and once in the chest, above his bullet-proof vest - and died within minutes. A second officer was also shot in the thigh, while murder suspect Orozco also had to be treated for gunshot wounds

Ishmael, 37, was struck once in the upper chest, above his bulletproof vest, and once in the foot, the sheriff said. 
The off-duty deputy, whose name has not been made public, was hit once in the upper thigh and tried to help Ishmael, but was unable to save the officer who bled out within minutes.
Ross, 47, is charged with involuntary manslaughter and jailed on $50,000 bail, records show.
The suspected gunman, Juan Carlos Vasquez Orozco, underwent surgery for gunshot wounds, D'Agostini said. 
He was arrested on suspicion of murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Morales is charged with being an accessory and is in custody on $250,000 bail.  
Police have confirmed that Morales is an illegal immigrant, but say they are still trying to establish whether Orozco was in the country illegally.
Ishmael was a four-year veteran of the sheriff's office and had worked two years for the Placerville Police Department. He is survived by a wife and three daughters.
