The man suspected of killing a Drug Enforcement Administration agent and injuring two other law-enforcement officers during a shootout on an Amtrak train in Tucson was out on bond in multiple violent felony cases.

Sgt. Ray Kelly, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office in northern California, told The Arizona Republic that the alleged shooter, 26-year-old Darrion Taylor, bonded out of jail after resisting arrest on an outstanding warrant for a separate case in Sacramento.

Kelly said Taylor was wanted on a $200,000 warrant in a case where he was accused of assault involving a deadly weapon, robbery, firing into a dwelling and cruelty to a child. Kelly said Taylor assaulted an officer and attempted to take his firearm as he was brought to the police station.
