On the afternoon of June 26, 2003 Deputy Saul Gallegos of the Chelan County Sheriff's office advised the communications center that he would be at a residence, 1030 State Route 150, Manson, Washington, Chelan County. Deputy Gallegos was attempting to contact the driver of a 1989 Gray Merc Sable station wagon Washington License 575MDT. Deputy Gallegos identified the driver as being Jose Sanchez-Guillen and suspected that he was a suspended driver. The communications center confirmed that Sanchez-Guillen was suspended. There was no further contact with Deputy Gallegos. The next contact to the communications center was from a citizen, over the radio, indicating that Deputy Gallegos was down and needing help. Deputy Simmons arrived at the scene finding Deputy Gallegos a short distance from the residence. Deputy Gallegos had been fatally shot in the head.
A witness to the incident Angelica Sanchez stated that she observed Sanchez-Guillen fighting with Deputy Gallegos at the rear of the residence and heard two gun shots seeing Deputy Gallegos fall to the ground. Angelica Sanchez saw Sanchez-Guillen leaving the residence in the 1989 Merc Sable westbound from the residence. Sanchez is familiar with Sanchez-Guillen from previous contacts. Sanchez made contact with the residents of 1030 State Route 150, Brenda Angulo and Roberto Venegas. Sanchez told them that Sanchez-Guillen shot Deputy Gallegos. Sanchez went to Deputy Gallegos and tried to help him.
Sanchez-Guillen was arrested in Connell, Washington early in the morning of June 29th, 2003, after deputies, working off of tips, located him in a private residence. With the assistance of local officers, the home at 200 West Hawthorne was surrounded shortly before 3:00 AM. Sanchez-Guillen was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Sheriff's Office by US Marshall's and Chelan County deputies. Sanchez-Guillen has been charged with Aggravated First Degree Murder.
Saul was laid to rest in his hometown of Mexico.
