The half-brother of Robert Fuller, whose body was found hanging last week from a tree in Palmdale, was fatally shot during a shootout with LA County deputies on Wednesday, June 17 in Kern County. An attorney for the Fuller family confirmed that Terron Jammal Boone, the half-brother of Robert Fuller, was killed during the incident in Rosamond.The shooting occurred around 4:39 p.m. Wednesday in the 3400 block of 15th Street West in Rosamond. 
Detectives with a specialized unit say they were looking for a suspect believed to be involved in kidnapping, spousal assault, and assault with a deadly weapon, according to Deputy Eric Ortiz of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.They spotted a man in a Jeep they believed to be the suspect and followed him for some time before they attempted a traffic stop in Rosamond. They say a woman and a 7-year-old child were also inside the vehicle. 
The LA County Sheriff's Department say the suspect opened the door and began firing at deputies and they then returned fire.
