Sorensen, 46, a 12-year Sheriff's Department veteran who lived in Lake Los Angeles and patrolled it as a resident deputy, was shot to death Saturday afternoon after going to an isolated house trailer to investigate a routine trespassing complaint. Sorensen's slaying shocked residents of Lake Los Angeles, where he was a familiar presence and where news of his death quickly spread by word of mouth. Residents placed flowers, cards and candles outside the small storefront sheriff's office. Someone wrote on the sidewalk in front tributes in chalk: ``You will be missed. We won't forget you.'' ``It's shocking, sad and the whole community is hurting behind this,'' said resident Janice Devine.

Saturday was Sorensen's scheduled day off, but he came in to work to follow up on the trespassing complaint, Harris said. Sheriff's officials made few details about the shooting public on Sunday, leaving many questions unanswered. Harris said he could not confirm a deputy's initial report that the trailer where Sorensen was shot contained a methamphetamine laboratory. He also would not confirm whether a Dodge Dart The Dodge Dart was an automobile built by the Dodge division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1960 to 1976.

Investigators said they didn't want to release certain information that only the killer would know, Harris said. On Sunday, they were still trying to put together the sequence of what happened.
