LAKELAND, Fla. — Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has identified a suspect who shot and wounded two deputies during a shootout in Lakeland early Saturday morning.

Judd says the suspect, who was shot and killed, has been identified as K Mac El Bay, a 26-year-old man from California. 

The sheriff says he was parked in Hunt Fountain Park after hours when a deputy approached him and asked for identification.

The suspect identified as a Moorish Sovereign citizen, a movement that doesn’t believe in following local, state, and federal laws.

He refused to cooperate, and the deputy called for backup. Several deputies responded, including Lt. Chad Anderson and deputy Craig Smith.

Judd said they approached the man, who then opened fire and tried to take off in his car. 

Anderson was shot in the arm and the round lodged in his chest, while Smith was hit in the arm.

Other deputies at the scene opened fire and killed the suspect.

Investigators later found two handguns and a rifle in his vehicle. 

Judd says K Mac was not a convicted felon and only had a suspended license. 

Anderson remains in critical condition while Smith is said to be “stable.”
