A Southern California police detective under investigation by the FBI apparently shot himself to death.
Deputies found the body of Detective Jeffrey Ullrich, 55, of Murietta, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Tuesday in the area of the Tenaja Trail Head, in the unincorporated community of La Cresta, according to the Riverside County Coroner's Office.
Ullrich had been a member of the department for 16 years, 11 of those as a detective, said Murrieta Police Capt. Dennis Vrooman.
Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Los Angeles field office, told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that agents seized evidence from a home believed to be Ullrich's on Tuesday.
Details of the search were sealed by a judge.
