Officials ID Man Killed by San Diego County Sheriff's Deputy in Alpine

The man shot and killed by a San Diego County Sheriff's deputy in Alpine has been identified. 

Simon D. Hubble, 33, of Alpine died Wednesday after an incident involving Deputy Aaron Miller.

Miller, a six-year veteran of the department, was called to Emmanuel Way to help search for what had been reported as a mentally ill, violent man.

The suspect left the area but officials say Miller met up with him on the road sometime later.

A screwdriver was found by his body, according to Maryon.
