(CNN)Hours after an officer in Hayward, California, was fatally shot Wednesday during a traffic stop, police said they had arrested a suspect.
Mark Anthony Estrada, 21, is accused of gunning down Sgt. Scott Lunger, a 15-year veteran of the Bay Area department.
Estrada is hospitalized undergoing treated for gunshot wounds, but remains in custody, Hayward Police Chief Diane Urban told reporters.
Asked to describe the suspect's possible motive, Urban didn't mince words.
"There's no why," she said. "It's an absolutely senseless murder."
Lunger pulled over a vehicle he saw driving erratically shortly after 3 a.m.
"As Sgt. Lunger got out of the car and approached the driver side of the vehicle, the driver shot Sgt. Lunger without warning," Capt. Mark Koller told reporters.
Another officer was on scene and returned fire, Koller said. The driver fled. The vehicle was later abandoned in Oakland, where it was recovered.
This is why you don't F with the police when they pull you over. Everyone thinks they have this innate ability to know your intentions.
When in fact the second they walk up to any car it could be the end of their life.
This is why they don't take crap from punks thinking they know their rights, that don't want to turn off the car, give ID or get out of the car when ordered to do so. They have to control the situation they don't care about you, what they care about is going home alive to their family.
My friend is a Texas cop, he was shot in the shoulder and he shot the guy in the head. He said he saw him reaching for something, he didn't know what, but he drew on guy in the car anyway. The guy had grabbed a gun they pretty much shot at the same time, but he was a fraction of a second to slow. Had he not drawn his weapon the guy in the car would have had extra time to aim and probably kill him.
