Yamamoto dominated the much-anticipated matchup with Atlanta ace Chris Sale, who allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings. Yamamoto, the MVP of the 2025 World Series, permitted only four hits with one walk while improving to 8-1 in his postseason career.

The Dodgers can win the best-of-five series and take another step in their attempt to become the first National League team to win three consecutive World Series titles by beating the Braves again Wednesday night in Game 4.

The Braves hoped giving Sale extra rest would be a winning formula in the pivotal third game. Instead, after stranding six runners in the first three innings, he gave up the two-run homer to Hernández and a solo shot to Freddie Freeman in the fourth.

Ozzie Albies opened the Atlanta ninth with a double off the right-center wall against Edwin Díaz and moved to third on Michael Harris II's groundout. Díaz stranded the runner when Mauricio Dubón fouled out to right field and Mike Yastrzemski grounded out to shortstop Mookie Betts.

Dubón made a leaping catch over the left-field wall to rob Freeman of a home run in the third. Freeman wouldn't be denied an inning later. Hernández's homer to left drove in Andy Pages, who singled. One out later, Freeman pulled his 18th career postseason homer to right field for a 3-0 lead.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts moved designated hitter Shohei Ohtani down to No. 5 in the lineup because Ohtani was 3 for 15 in his career against Sale. Ohtani went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts against Sale when the Dodgers lost 1-0 on Aug. 26 in Atlanta.

Roberts correctly predicted Ohtani would have opportunities with runners on base hitting lower in the order.

With runners on first and second in the first, Sale struck out Ohtani to end the inning. With two runners on base in the third, Ohtani reached on catcher's interference by Drake Baldwin to load the bases before Miguel Rojas ended the inning with a flyball to right field. Ohtani walked to lead off the eighth against Brent Suter, Atlanta's fourth pitcher.

Baldwin's bases-loaded grounder to first base drove in Dubón, who singled in the fifth for Atlanta's only run off Yamamoto.

Rojas left during an at-bat in the eighth. The second baseman appeared to injure his back on a swing and was replaced by Tommy Edman. The Dodgers announced the injury as lower back pain.

Tanner Scott added two strikeouts in a scoreless eighth for Los Angeles.

Up next

Braves right-hander Tyler Mahle is expected to face Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow in Game 4 on Wednesday night. Mahle said Tuesday an abdominal pull is now a "non-issue." He felt the pull before allowing one run in seven innings of a 4-3 loss to Philadelphia in 10 innings during the NL Wild Card Series last week.

About 28 volunteers, including chainsaw and heavy equipment operators, are targeting trees considered dangerous at Scouting America's Camp Tahquitz.  

"Team Rubicon is jumping, neck deep, into fire mitigation work," Robin Brown, Team Rubicon member, said.  

The camp at Angelus Oaks sits in a high-priority wildfire scar zone plagued by heavy, dried-out timber and dead trees.

Fire mitigation at the approximately square-mile camp also includes thinning the tree population to prevent a wildfire from moving through too quickly.

"Usually we're on hurricanes and tornadoes, but we're doing more and more fire mitigations because it seems like we're having more and more fires, so we're trying to make spaces defensible," Bob Bussey, Team Rubicon member, said.

It's hard work, but team members say they get gratification simply by helping people. Team Rubicon is expanding its fire mitigation program in California.

"One of the most important things to ensure is that we allow the emergency services to continue to fight the fires," Team Rubicon CEO Art delaCruz said in a statement. "Our jobs will be to make it easier for firefighters to do theirs." 

The organization seeks volunteers, including veterans, first responders, or anyone willing to work and to be deployed to various operations.

The shooting happened on Monday, October 5, at around 7:30 a.m., when Riverside County deputies were called to the 28000 block of Colorado Avenue in Temecula for reports of "unknown trouble," according to a news release from the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. 

Upon arrival, deputies found 30-year-old resident Shaquilah Howard suffering from gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene by Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department paramedics. 

Investigators with the department's Central Homicide Unit were able to identify the suspect as 28-year-old Los Angeles man Rashad Populus. 

"Further investigation revealed Populus was released on parole on September 24, 2026, stemming from a conviction for assault with a firearm," the RSO news release said. "On October 5, 2026 ... Populus was located in the city of Oxnard, where he was taken into custody without incident."

Populus was booked at the Cois Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta for murder and violation of parole.

Anyone who knows more was asked to contact RSO Central Homicide Investigator Manjarrez at 951-955-2777.

Longtime CHLA supporters, the LA Kings have pledged to donate $1 for every card sent by Oct. 30, up to a total of $50,000.

Participants in the card drive can choose from three ready-to-color animal designs, including a giraffe, a peacock, or an elephant, followed by a personal message of encouragement.

"The highlight for so many of our kids is receiving the thoughtful Halloween cards sent from around the world," Carol Hamamoto, Director of Child Life and Expressive Arts and Therapies, and Volunteer Resources at CHLA, said.

"Seeing the community come together in support of our families brings comfort, hope, and a sense of connection during their hospital stay."

CHLA's Child Life team will print the completed cards and hand-deliver them to patients, along with goodie bags. The hospital will also host its annual Pumpkin Party, bringing Halloween to young patients with festive games, arts and crafts, and costumes.

Children's Hospital Los Angeles has been named among the top 10 pediatric hospitals in the United States in U.S. News & World Report's 2026-27 Best Children's Hospitals rankings.

At a campaign rally in Nebraska, Mr. Trump said the Iran war is "artificial," but he wanted to see a "total victory." He suggested the war is a "small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe." 

"It's a little bit high," the president appeared to say about gas prices. "It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take, let it, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego."

Attendees appeared to cheer after his suggestion. It was not immediately clear what Mr. Trump meant, although the White House's rapid response account on X insisted after the fact that the president's words were being misinterpreted.

"He was saying the U.S. is fighting to STOP Iran from having the ability to take out LA and San Diego with a nuclear weapon — which they would if they had the chance," the account said. 

The comments were quickly condemned by Newsom and other California officials. 

"After sending the National Guard and Marines to occupy California, Donald Trump is now saying our foreign enemies should 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego," Newsom wrote on X. "He is deranged and dangerous."

"I am directing the State Threat Assessment Center to actively monitor the situation in the event that foreign actors interpret the president's remarks as an invitation to target California," Newsom added. 

White House spokesperson Steven Cheung posted on X on Tuesday that "the media freakout" over Mr. Trump's remarks is "not rooted in reality." 

"He was clearly stating U.S. cities would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran hadn't been stopped," Cheung continued. "America is safer because of the President. Iran has no nuclear, no navy, no air force, and no money."

Mr. Trump also suggested the war in Iran "will end very quickly, one way or the other, very soon."

In a statement to CBS News, Newsom then called for Mr. Trump to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment of the Constitution.

"Donald Trump is mentally ill. TIME FOR THE 25TH!" Newsom wrote.   

In addition to being the country's second-most populous city, LA is home to the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command Headquarters, aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman, and federally funded research centers such as the RAND Corporation.

"The role of a president is to protect the country, not to actively threaten it and encourage attacks on American lives," LA Mayor Karen Bass wrote on X. 

At an event on Tuesday morning, Bass was asked by reporters her initial reaction to the president's comments. She said she was shocked and added: "Maybe at this point I shouldn't be, but I was just shocked."

"That's a president of the United States, inviting a country that we are at war with to attack an American city," Bass told reporters. 

San Diego, the nation's eighth-largest city, has major military installations in and around it, including:

• Naval Base San Diego, the homeport of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet
• Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, where 70,000 civilians and active-duty service members live and work
• Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, the main training ground for Navy SEALs on the West Coast 

"San Diego is not collateral damage," San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria wrote on X. "We are not expendable. And we are never a 'small price to pay.' Keep our city out of your reckless war talk."

The blaze, dubbed the Bouquet Fire, was reported at around 3 p.m. Saturday near Bouquet Canyon Road and Quarry Road, just northeast of Santa Clarita. 

As of 8 p.m. Sunday, LACoFD officials said that the fire had burned approximately 1,048 acres and was 67% contained. According to Cal Fire, the fire threatened structures and power lines as it burned at a "rapid rate of spread" on Saturday afternoon. 

Firefighters were also battling two spot fires that were burning close to the main fire, Cal Fire said. Because a fire had not burned in the area over the last several decades, the dense and heavy brush has helped the flames grow quickly, according to Seneca Smith with the Angeles National Forest.

"Right now, there's just shy of 300 personnel," Smith said during a news conference. "That area has not seen fire for several decades. So, that's another issue as well, just very heavy vegetation."

The cause of the fire was not immediately known, but Angeles National Forest officials say investigators believe the fire may have been human-caused.

"That could be anything from equipment to power lines to vehicles," Smith said.

Aerial footage from CBS LA's helicopter showed large flames burning in the hills above Castaic Canyon, with a massive plume of smoke extending over the surrounding area. Some of the flames were also seen near power lines. 

"Air Attack has reported a possible drone sighting over the area of the fire," Cal Fire said. "Flying a drone near a wildfire is a federal crime, and can cost lives. If you fly, we can't."

Evacuation orders and warnings issued

Firefighters issued evacuation orders and warnings in the surrounding area on Saturday afternoon, which remained in place until they were lifted on Tuesday morning. 

An evacuation center was temporarily opened for evacuees at the Castaic Sports Complex, which is located at 31230 Castaic Road. Evacuees are allowed to bring small pets, officials said.

California Highway Patrol officers closed Bouquet Canyon Road at Vasquez Canyon Road for an indefinite amount of time as the fire continued to burn. They urged drivers to use alternate routes.

At around 10 p.m. Saturday, the South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a wildfire smoke advisory for most of the Santa Clarita Valley and the Angeles National Forest due to the large amount of smoke from the blaze. They said that the I-5 corridor could also be affected, and that the impacts would likely be greatest between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on Sunday, when air quality would be unhealthy.  

"The residents of Boyle Heights and East L.A. deserve environmental justice and corporate accountability," the mayor's office said in a statement. "Today, DTSC was onsite with a search warrant, and an investigation is ongoing."

Aerial footage taken Tuesday afternoon at the half-destroyed warehouse showed the front door to its 1400 Los Palos Street offices open, with police officers standing by on the property.

"Investigators must be able to follow the evidence wherever it leads, and their findings should help give residents the information they need about their health, safety, and the future of this site," Council Member Ysabel J. Jurado wrote in a statement.

Bass issued an Emergency Executive Order in July directing city departments to pause the issuance of rebuilding permits for Lineage until "the city and the public can analyze the site and its proposed uses while weighing health, safety, and environmental impacts."

The concern comes after roughly half of the 500,000-square-foot cold storage facility burned for about one week, leaving an estimated 85 million pounds of spoiled food. It took Lineage just over 11 weeks to clean up the site, all the while neighbors protested the stench and health impacts.

Lineage announced the completion of all food waste cleanup activities on Sept. 5, with debris removal, power washing, cleaning and disinfecting of the site's interior also complete, the company said.

On Tuesday, Lineage issued a statement, primarily addressing concerns of ammonia at the site.

"To be clear, we do not store hazardous chemicals or products in this facility. We store food. Further, the facility's ammonia refrigeration system was safely pumped out shortly after the fire began and before the fire reached the refrigeration system. The ammonia was subsequently removed from the site. The Los Angeles Fire Department reported no ammonia was detected during its response, and subsequent environmental monitoring has consistently shown results within normal levels for the neighborhood and no ammonia concentrations above health-based action levels."

The Los Angeles City Fire Department completed its arson investigation into the warehouse fire on Sept. 22, classifying the cause as undetermined. The solar panels and their connected components were not conclusively found to be the cause of the fire, but the investigation could not rule them out.

Three people died in the helicopter crash on Sept. 15, including aerial news reporter Eliana Moreno, pilot George Marciniw and 29-year-old Edy Guitierrez Mejia.

The NTSB said that the helicopter had departed the Whiteman Airport in Los Angeles and flew to Chatsworth to gather video footage of a recent fatal bus crash.

Prosecutors say that the driver involved in that crash allegedly ran a red light while driving under the influence, slamming into a Metro bus, killing two passengers. The LA County Department of the Medical Examiner identified the victims as Gage Weida, 31, and Daniel Castillo, 46.

The preliminary report says that ADS-B data, known as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, show that the helicopter was in the vicinity of the bus crash for about an hour and 24 minutes.

The NTSB reviewed a four-minute and twenty-one-second-long video recording of the crash that was taken by Moreno. Officials say the video captured ambient helicopter noise of the main rotor and engine. The NTSB explained that the noise was "consistent with normal operations."  

During the last minute of flight, the helicopter was about 800 feet above ground, and it decelerated to about 6 knots ground speed.

During the last 29 seconds of the flight, Moreno's recording captured the helicopter noise as it changed frequency. Officials say it also captured intermittent and continuous horns, "consistent with the helicopter's main rotor high rpm, low rotor rpm and other aural advisories."

At about 6:55 p.m., data show that the helicopter began a rapid descent while turning right. NTSB officials say the last data point captured the helicopter at a high rate of descent, going about 38 knots groundspeed directly above the crash site.

The NTSB reviewed security footage from multiple nearby buildings that recorded the helicopter's final moments before it crashed into a metal storage container on the ground. Soon after impact, the helicopter burst into flames.

Investigators determined that the helicopter came to rest partially on its right side on top of the metal container. The debris field of the crash extended about 30 feet around the main wreckage.

The NTSB says the helicopter's main cabin was mostly reduced to ash and thermally damaged metal. Officials relocated remaining parts to a secure facility for further examination.

The preliminary report did not provide details on the cause of the crash. A final report is still pending. 

This is something supporters say needs to happen to put Americans back to work on productions that have been leaving the country for decades.

"I am here to tell you that we have never been this close to getting a federal tax credit passed. Never been this close," Senator Adam Schiff said, noting that there is bipartisan support, including the support of the White House.

The Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act is designed to compete with roughly 65 countries that already offer incentives unavailable in this country.

SAG-AFTRA supports the proposed legislation as it has lobbied for a federal incentive for years.

"If the work happens here and you hire U.S.-based workers, you get the tax credit. It's that simple. If you bring your production somewhere else, you don't get the tax credit," U.S. Congresswoman Laura Friedman said.

"And this bill would help bring economic activity back in the region, specifically to help after a federally declared disaster."

The proposed tax credit amount is 20% of the compensation paid for services performed in the United States. The base tax credit percentage increases by increments of 5% if:

• At least 30% of the production is filmed in a federally declared disaster area or rural qualified opportunity zone 
• The production is independently produced
• Film companies that increase their number of domestic productions relative to their previous foreign investment
• Multistate productions

If the bill passes, more than 143,000 American jobs will be added in one year, Friedman said. She added that Los Angeles workers are asking the U.S. to compete on equal footing with other nations to bring American jobs back to the U.S.

"When a production stays here, our whole region wins. And the great thing about this bill is that it not only creates a federal incentive, but productions can also stack on top of it any state or local incentives, which allows forward-thinking states like California that already offer incentives a way to help keep those jobs right here in our state," Congresswoman Linda Sánchéz said. 

In a news release, the Department of Public Health said that the raccoon was found in the backyard of a home and that it "appeared sick but not aggressive towards people."

Officials said one dog was exposed to the raccoon, but it was up to date on rabies vaccination and has since been quarantined and is doing well. Four people were also possibly exposed and were receiving follow-up for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis. 

According to LADPH, the last confirmed rabid raccoon in the county was detected in 1973 and had the skunk variant of rabies, which has not been detected since 1979. They also noted that the last animal that wasn't a bat to have confirmed rabies was a skunk that was infected with the bat variant in 2014. 

Health officials are still working to determine which rabies variant the raccoon was infected with, which they say will be important in understanding the source of the infection. They said it can take several weeks for a test to determine the strain.

"Based on current knowledge of rabies occurrence in Los Angeles County, it is likely this raccoon was infected with rabies from a bat," the release said.

Last week, LADPH officials reported a record number of rabid bat detections in 2026, with several months remaining in peak bat season. 

"This year, we have seen 70 bats with rabies so far in Los Angeles County, which has already broken the record that we set last year of 69," LADPH Veterinarian Jennifer Sinatra said. "So yeah, we are definitely seeing an uptick."

Health officials urged people to use the incident as a reminder that wild animals should never be touched, handled or fed, and that people should always keep a safe distance. 

"Try and keep wild animals away from your property by not leaving food out, not letting your brush grow really high," Sinatra said.

They also advised people to vaccinate their pets, as rabies is 100% fatal in animals once symptoms begin. The infection can be prevented through vaccination. 

According to the news release, rabies is most commonly transmitted through the bite or scratch of an infected animal, or when saliva from a rabid animal comes in contact with an open wound or a mammal's eyes, nose or mouth. 

In humans, symptoms often include fever, weakness and headache before progressing to tingling sensations, anxiety, agitation, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, difficulty swallowing, coma and death. Animals first experience non-specific signs like vomiting and respiratory distress before progressing to neurologic signs like circling, difficulty walking, behavioral changes, aggression, paralysis, hydrophobia and death. 

The new facility replaces the 1930s-built 232,000-square-foot terminal with a 355,000-square-foot facility and the same 14 gates. It's now located on the opposite side of the airfield, with the entrance at Winona Avenue and Hollywood Way. It opens to the public on October 13.

State Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin noted the safety aspects of the new terminal's layout, with operations moved farther away from potential runway conflicts. Its design also meets current seismic and accessibility standards. It's also one of only two all-electric airport facilities in the country, officials said.

While safer, the design kept that "quaint, personal feeling," Omishakin said. "You can see just exactly that, that they didn't want to lose that sort of nostalgic feeling from the other terminal."

The new terminal features expanded TSA screening areas, additional charging ports and kiosks, and a baggage claim area with three carousels in a single indoor hall. Passengers will continue to board and deplane outdoors.

Burbank Mayor Tamala Takahashi said the community was involved in design plans.  

"This beautiful new facility takes everything you love about the experience, and brings it into the new era with modern amenities, greater accessibility, enhanced safety, and a welcoming design, all while maintaining the 14-gate airport our community knows," she said.

In 2016, Hollywood Burbank Airport was renamed from Bob Hope Airport. The airport was known as the "Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport" until 2003, when it was dedicated to the late actor who died that year.

The crash happened at around 2:25 p.m. at Michael's Super Burgers, which is located in the 11500 block of E. Slauson Avenue and Norwalk Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. 

Paramedics pronounced one person dead at the scene. They have not yet been publicly identified, but Whittier police said the victim was a pedestrian on the sidewalk and possibly waiting to cross the street. 

Two others, including another pedestrian and the driver, were also injured in the crash. They were both taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition.

It's unclear what caused the crash, which is being investigated by California Highway Patrol detectives. 

"I heard a big squeaking noise, like when the tires are trying to stop and the car just went very fast," said Sandra Guzman Aragon. She was working at the flower shop across the street from the restaurant when the crash happened. Her coworker saw the whole thing. 

"He witnessed everything. It was a young lady trying to cross the street, pressing the button to cross the street on her little scooter, and she saw the car coming, she backed up and it was already too late," she said. "The car just ran her over and killed her, and there was another lady as well that got hit."

Whittier police and CHP officers had the intersection blocked for several hours as they worked to piece together what led up to the crash. 

The driver has not yet been identified as their investigation continues. 

After the ad went viral on social media, Republican candidate for state school superintendent Sonja Shaw called it creepy, weird garbage. 

"As a mother and someone who has fought to protect the innocence of children, this crosses the line," she said. 

Hilton responded to the backlash by defending the ad. 

"Obviously, we need to do things differently in California," he said. "The way we do campaigns, we have to do that differently as well."

With a month before the November election, polls show Hilton trailing his opponent Xavier Becerra by double digits. 

"I think the entire point is that we all know, those of us in the minority here as registered Republicans in California," said Roxanne Hoge, chair of the Los Angeles County Republican Party. "It's akin to: what do you have to lose? Just try it."

The candidates held only one debate after the primary, which was hosted on CNN last week. Hilton wanted more but Becerra's campaign claimed his schedule was too packed. 

"People really need to hear what people are saying," said Mike Bonin, executive director of the Pat Brown Institute at Cal State LA. "To be honest, that's mostly on Becerra because he's the one who isn't debating."

The midterm election is officially underway, and mail-in ballots have already been delivered. 

Officers said they were called to the intersection of Oxnard Street and Lankershim Boulevard at around 9:40 p.m. after learning of the crash. Upon arrival, they found the victim lying in the street. 

The woman, identified on Monday by the LA County Medical Examiner as  Constance Gillard, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say that the vehicle involved in the incident, a dark red Ford SUV, was driving south on Lankershim when it hit Gillard as she crossed Oxnard. 

"The hit-and-run driver negotiated a U-turn on Lankershim Boulevard and fled northbound without stopping," a news release shared by LAPD officers said on Sunday.

There was no information immediately available on a suspect.

A standing reward of up to $50,000 has been offered to anyone with information that leads to the identification, arrest and conviction of the driver through the Los Angeles Administrative Code's Hit-and-Run Reward Program Trust Fund.

Video from the scene showed a large section of street that was blocked off as LAPD officers worked in the area. A white canopy covered the victim's body, which was still in the street. 

Anyone who knows more was asked to contact Valley Traffic Division Detective Martinez at 818-644-8033.

The Pasadena Outreach Response Team, or PORT, is a little-known crew of firefighters and a nurse working to build trust and help people who may be experiencing homelessness.

Instead of walking the hospital halls, nurse Patty Nogueda is out on Pasadena's city streets. She carries a blood pressure machine to check blood sugar, and her first patient of the day is a man named Otto. He's someone she and Pasadena firefighter Chris Figueroa have seen before.

Firefighter Tony Zee is also part of the six-person PORT team that has moved through parks and encampments, responding to different needs over the last eight years.  The team has gotten nearly 100 people into housing since 2023, like Donald Dryer, who was formerly homeless.

"Tony Z came along, he seen me out there, I didn't have no sleeping bag or anything," Dryer said. He said he now has housing because of Zee.

"We saw a need here. But we want to take a gentle approach and try to help, instead of OK, we're going to put handcuffs on you, or we're going to do this and that – take you to court," Zee said.

Pasadena Public Health Director Manuel Carmona says the city needed a different kind of response.

"Since January 2023, the team has actually made 6,200 contacts with people in our community experiencing homelessness. Out of the 6,200, a little over 50% have actually had 911 calls diverted to the PORT team," Carmona said.

It's work that can be hard and sometimes dangerous. "There is a lot of mental health that comes at you, death threats, that kind of thing, but we don't take it personally," Zee said.

But for this team, the reward is in the people who start to trust them, and sometimes, finally, to get them off the street.

"These are our people. It's our community," Zee said. 

The shooting happened at the Artist Lounge, which is located in a strip mall in the 18000 block of Nordhoff Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Officers said they were called to the area for a loud party, and while trying to make contact with the owner, they heard the sound of gunshots and dozens of people fleeing from the venue.

"Nothing can give me my daughter. I don't know. I'm just lost," said Mildred Pastor. 

Her daughter, 19-year-old Kimberly Pastor, was one of two victims killed in the shooting, along with 18-year-old Jaydin Lewis, both of whom were identified by family members at the vigil held at the lounge on Sunday night. 

"This is very hard for the family," said Tara Lewis-Maxwell, Lewis' aunt. "Very tragic. ... Just a beautiful soul."

Family members say that both of the victims were preparing for college, and that Kimberly leaves behind a 2-year-old son. 

"She was a good kid and good student, good grades," Mildred Pastor said. 

Video from inside the venue showed a large crowd dancing to music when at least two gunshots can be heard. Family members are now asking how guns were able to get inside. 

Irene Ajemyen, who owns the Artist Lounge, said that the promoter booked the space for their artist to perform, so they brought their own security for the night. 

"We should have had more security, or at least had a better procedure with checking everyone out," Ajemyen said. 

LAPD detectives are still searching for the alleged gunman, and as of Sunday night, they did not have any information on the suspect or motive readily available. 

Both families are pleading for justice, asking anyone who knows more to contact authorities.

"Turn yourself in, because it's the right thing to do," Lewis-Maxwell said. 

"I just want justice for everybody," Mildred Pastor said. "The guy did this to my daughter."

A GoFundMe for Kimberly Pastor's son and memorial can be found by searching for the keywords: "Donate to Support My Daughter's Son and Memorial."

In a news release, Long Beach Police Department officers said they were called to the intersection of Baltic Avenue and Burnett Street at around 7:20 p.m. for reports of a crash involving a pedestrian. 

Upon arrival, they found the victim, since identified as 76-year-old Yolanda Hernandez, lying in the street. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries, police said. She has not yet been publicly identified.

"The preliminary investigation indicates the pedestrian was walking in a marked crosswalk northbound on Baltic Avenue when she was struck by a white pickup truck travelling [on] southbound Baltic Avenue attempting to make an eastbound turn onto Burnett Street," the release said. "The driver fled eastbound on Burnett Street."

Police said that speed, distracted driving and impaired driving did not appear to be factors in the crash as they continued their investigation. 

Anyone who knows more was asked to contact LBPD Collision Investigation Detail Detective Dougherty at 562-570-7358.

The Torrance Police Department said the shooting happened at roughly 12:45 a.m. on Sunday in the 3200 block of Danaha Street. Investigators believe that an altercation between people at the party spilled onto the street shortly before the shooting. 

A bullet grazed the victim's head. Paramedics from the Torrance Fire Department took her to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. She's expected to make a full recovery. 

"At this time, investigators have not identified any information that this was a random act of violence or that there is an ongoing threat to the surrounding community," Torrance PD wrote in its press release.

Detectives believe the suspect is a man between 16 and 20 years old. 

They asked anyone with information to contact Torrance PD. 

Anyone with tips or video footage of the shooting can call Detective Chance at (310) 618-5570. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous can contact the Los Angeles County Regional Crime Stoppers at 1(800) 222-8477 or through their website at lacrimestoppers.org.

The train service said the price increases reflect several factors, including rising costs, lower post-pandemic ridership, and reduced funding.

"Metrolink recognizes that any fare increase affects our customers, and this decision was not made lightly," Metrolink wrote in its announcement. "After keeping fares unchanged for 13 years, Metrolink is adjusting select prices in response to rising operating and maintenance costs, lower post-pandemic ridership, and declining state and federal funding."

Day passes will also go up slightly: 

• Weekday SoCal Day Pass: Going up to $19, compared to $15 in the past 
• Weekday/Holiday SoCal Day Pass: Going up to $12 from $10 

The monthly and five-day flex passes will face a slight increase. Metrolink said it calculates the prices for these passes by using one-way ticket fares, adding that "some customers may have a slight increase, no change at all, or a lower price depending on their distance."

The LA Zone Day Pass will remain at $5 regardless of distance, according to Metrolink. It will also keep its everyday discounts for seniors, riders with disabilities and Medicare recipients. Law enforcement can continue to ride for free if they're wearing a Class A uniform.

Veterans and active military get 10% off all fares, except for the LA Zone Day Pass.

Up to three kids who are 5 years old and younger will still ride for free with an adult. Students and younger riders get 50% off all fares, except for the LA Zone Day Pass.

Metrolink has trains running through most of Southern California, including LA, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties. 

Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives began investigating a series of 7-Eleven convenience store robberies in September.

According to the ATF Los Angeles Field Division office, during these robberies, the two suspects wore ski masks, with one suspect carrying the hydraulic rescue tool, referred to as the Jaws of Life. Once inside the stores, one suspect would control the clerk while the other used the tool to break into ATM machines.

According to investigators, this method was used in more than 15 other similar robberies.

On Oct. 2, Marcus Toles, 48, and Damian Brown, 35, were arrested after allegedly committing back-to-back robberies at two different 7-Eleven stores in East Hollywood and the West Adams district.

During the arrest, investigators recovered stolen cash, several firearms, a Jaws of Life tool, and a stolen vehicle allegedly used by the suspects.

Toles and Brown, both multi-convicted felons, are charged with violating the Hobbs Act and using or having a gun during and connected to a violent crime, according to the ATF Los Angeles Field Division office. The Hobbs Act prohibits actual or attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce. 

Toles and Brown are expected to make their first court appearance on Monday in Santa Ana.

Over the weekend, several records were broken as triple-digit temperatures rose across the region. On Friday, temperatures reached 103 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, breaking a previous record of 101 degrees set in 1995.

On Saturday and Sunday, although the highs didn't break records, the lows did. Saturday's low temperature in downtown LA was 76 degrees; it broke the previous record of 72 degrees set in 1987. Sunday's low temperature was 77 degrees; the previous record was 76 degrees. 

Record-breaking temperatures are not guaranteed on Monday. The forecasted high in downtown is only expected to reach 101. The current record set in 1971 is 101 degrees. 

The National Weather Service says people won't start feeling relief from the prolonged heat wave until the weekend.

Weather officials forecast most coast and valley highs in the 90s, up to 104 degrees. All of the coasts, valleys and inland areas are under heat advisories and extreme heat warnings through Thursday.

CBS LA Chief Meteorologist Paul Deanno says for the first time in history, LA will have four straight days of 100-degree weather. The last time something like this happened was in 1989.

Deanno added that Tuesday will likely make it five straight days over 100 degrees, and that hasn't happened since 1963. 

One of the biggest concerns as the heat lingers is the little to no overnight relief. Most lows will remain in the upper 60s to 70s. Some areas in the mountains and foothills will be in the 80s.

The NWS says temperatures over the weekend will trend cooler each day. There will be a 20 to 30% chance of showers on Sunday, mostly over Los Angeles County, due to the increased moisture from Hurricane Rachel in the Pacific.

The hurricane is also expected to bring strong swells and rough waters, mainly to LA and Ventura County beaches. A beach hazard statement will go into effect at 4 p.m. Tuesday and remain until 11 p.m. Friday. 

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the crash occurred at about 6:53 a.m. near 22600 Pacific Coast Highway. Investigations revealed that a 16-year-old boy was driving a gray Range Rover SUV eastbound on PCH when he struck a parked vehicle that was on the eastbound shoulder of the road.

The boy has not been publicly identified. They have not yet said if he had a valid driver's license. Despite initially telling CBS LA that the teen had been arrested, deputies later said that he was never taken into custody.

The occupant inside the parked vehicle, who has been identified as 51-year-old Ryo Uchimiya, was pronounced dead at the scene. Deputies confirmed that he was an employee at Nobu, which is located just a block from where the crash occurred. 

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Drug or alcohol use does not appear to be a factor.

CBS LA reached out to Nobu for comment on Uchimiya's death, but has not yet heard back. 

The collision happened at around 2:30 p.m. near the intersection of Burnet Avenue and Parthenia Street, Los Angeles Police Department officials told CBS LA. 

Upon arrival, they found the victim, only identified as a man in his 70s, lying in the street. He was rushed to a nearby hospital in unknown condition. 

LAPD detectives took a hit-and-run report at the scene, department officials said, noting that witnesses told them the suspect vehicle was a white sedan. 

No further information was immediately available as the investigation got underway on Sunday evening. 

In a news release shared on social media, firefighters said the incident happened on Highway 1 near Deer Creek Road, just north of Malibu, on Saturday after hearing that a car had driven off the road. 

Upon arrival, firefighters found the vehicle, a white van, that had ended up in the water near some large rocks. 

"The driver had self-extricated with one of their dogs, but a second dog remained trapped inside," the post said. "Firefighters and CA State Parks Lifeguards accessed the vehicle, safely freed the dog, and carried it up to the roadway."

Firefighters said that neither dog appeared to be injured and that the driver was hospitalized in stable condition with minor injuries.

The cause of the crash is being investigated by the California Highway Patrol, Ventura County crews said. 

Harris' RBI double to right against reliever Edgardo Henriquez added an insurance run with two outs in the seventh in what turned into a bullpen game for both teams when the Braves chased Dodgers starter Blake Snell after 3 2/3 innings.

Harris also singled in the third, coming up a home run short of hitting for the cycle.

Max Muncy's two-strike, two-out homer off Didier Fuentes pulled the Dodgers to 3-2 in the ninth. Braves closer Raisel Iglesias earned his second save after getting pinch-hitter Josue De Paula to foul out to third to end the game.

Runs were hard to come by after the teams combined for five homers in the Dodgers' 5-3 victory in Game 1.

After Mookie Betts walked and Shohei Ohtani singled to open the fifth, Atlanta's bullpen retired the next 14 consecutive Dodgers' hitters.

Los Angeles stranded seven runners on base over the first five innings. Ohtani, the four-time MVP, wasn't a factor for the second straight game, going 1 for 4 with two strikeouts.

The Braves retook the lead, 2-1, on Bubic's wild pitch after Harris' two-out triple.

Freddie Freeman tied it at 1 on a two-strike solo shot off Braves reliever Grant Holmes in the fourth while facing his former team for the first time in the postseason.

Snell struggled throughout, never finding a rhythm. The two-time Cy Young Award winner threw 90 pitches and only 47 for strikes. He gave up one run and three hits, walked five and struck out five.

Snell needed 27 pitches to get through the first, when he had only three more strikes thrown than balls.

The Braves led 1-0 on Mauricio Dubón's bases-loaded, two-strike single to shortstop with two outs in the first. Betts made a diving stop, but his throw to first was too late, allowing Ronald Acuña Jr. to score after singling and stealing second.

Ray Kerr started the game for the Braves, who elected to give Chris Sale extra rest ahead of his start in Game 3.

Roki Sasaki, the Dodgers' sixth reliever, loaded the bases in the eighth on a walk, hit by pitch and an intentional walk with one out. Acuña hit into an inning-ending double play.

Up next

After a travel day, Braves LHP Chris Sale starts Game 3 on Tuesday in Atlanta against Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

It was issued at around 10:30 p.m. after the girl, Marieny Calderon, was abducted from the area near W. 49th Street and Figueroa Street earlier in the day, at around 7:35 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol, which issued the Amber Alert on behalf of the Los Angeles Police Department to Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino counties.

At 12:46 a.m., the CHP said the girl was found and the Amber Alert was deactivated. Police did not immediately say where the girl was located or whether the vehicle was found.

Officers described Calderon as standing about three feet tall and weighing approximately 27 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a black shirt, red shorts and pink and white shoes. 

Police said she was believed to have been taken by someone driving a gray 2019 Toyota RAV4 with the California license plate 9ETY017. The suspect has not been identified. 

The crash happened on September 25 at around 3:55 p.m. at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Doris Avenue, a news release from Oxnard Police Department officials said. Upon arrival, authorities found eight cars involved in the crash, four of which had "major damage."

Police said that two of the cars, a 1998 Toyota Avalon and a 2005 Honda Civic, had drivers trapped inside. Despite rescue attempts, both were pronounced dead at the scene. Neither has yet been publicly identified, but police said they were both men from Oxnard who were 58 and 31. Four others were hospitalized with injuries of varying severity, police said.

Oxnard PD traffic detectives said that the driver of a 2018 GMC Sierra pickup truck ran a red light at Doris Avenue, where he collided with the Honda and Toyota, both of which were heading westbound through the intersection. 

The driver of the pickup truck, 29-year-old Santa Paula resident David Mora, was arrested at around 8 p.m. on Friday night after he turned himself in at the Oxnard Police Department. 

Mora was booked for vehicular homicide, police said. 

As their investigation continues, Oxnard PD asked anyone with more information to contact Traffic Investigator Joseph Clark at 805-385-7750. 

The Los Angeles Police Department said officers arrived at the Artist Lounge on the 18000 block of Nordhoff Street, about half of a mile from CSU Northridge, at about 11:30 p.m. on reports of a loud party. The officers made contact with the organizers and told them to end the party when they heard the sound of multiple gunshots and saw a swarm of people fleeing the scene.

Officers entered the scene and found two people suffering from gunshot wounds. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

The victims were identified only as a man and a woman between the ages of 18 and 25.

The LAPD said there's possibly one additional victim that officers were still searching for as of early Saturday morning.

The party was private and advertised on social media, police said. The motive remains unclear, and no arrests have been made; however, dozens of people were handcuffed and zip-tied before they were interviewed by police.

"It just all happened so fast; this guy pulls out a gun from his waist, and then goes at one person. 'Boom,'" said one witness. "Then he turns around to get another guy, but he like totally missed it and got somebody else in the back."

Cellphone video from inside the lounge showed people dancing when two loud gunshots were heard. People in the crowd then began to panic before the music stopped and people started scrambling to leave the crowded room.

"These two girls behind me, like, pulled me down and used me as cover," said Ledger Fuller, who was in the crowd at the time of the shooting. "I saw this girl fall down, I was like, 'Oh my God, someone got shot.'"

Police estimate there were more than 100 people inside when the shooting happened. 

"Me and one of my friends were coming out of the bathroom, and then we heard like five gunshots, I think," said Shia Boberman. "We thought it was, like, balloons, because people were popping balloons. Then we saw everyone running, and we tried to run out."

In a statement made to CBS LA, the Artist Lounge, a party space rental company, sent its "thoughts and prayers" to the victims and their families.

"We are deeply saddened by the shooting that took place last night," the statement said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families."

In a news release, the Los Angeles Police Department said that their nearly year-long investigation resulted in the arrest of 27-year-old Ontario man, Giovani Diaz. 

Detectives began their investigation back on December 3, 2025, at around 9:30 p.m., when officers were called for reports of a person on fire at a home in the 400 block of W. 84th Street. 

"The initial investigation revealed that an unidentified person was manipulating pyrotechnic materials when they exploded, causing serious injuries," LAPD's release said. 

The victim, a 17-year-old boy, was taken to a nearby hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries, police said. Since then, detectives have been investigating the incident, which led them to identify "several groups involved in illegal pyrotechnic activity and the sale of related components through social media."

On Wednesday, September 30, police conducted several search warrants at a Rancho Cucamonga storage facility and a home in the 900 block of N. Duesenberg Drive in Ontario, which led to Diaz's arrest. 

He was booked for possession of a destructive device and had his bail set at $500,000, police said, noting that they have presented other charges to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for consideration, including child endangerment and narcotics offenses. 

"Investigators also recovered multiple explosive devices and components, currency, narcotics, drug paraphernalia, and other evidence associated with the investigation. 

On Wednesday, the LAFD officially declared a knockdown of the fire that had been burning for more than a week. Officials said crews had moved into the overhaul phase of operations and that they would ensure that debris within the structure did not continue to smolder. 

The LAFD says residents should expect to see emergency vehicles in the area until all remaining hazards have been mitigated and the incident is fully resolved.

The fire at a 500,000-square-foot Lineage cold storage facility at 1400 S. Los Palos Street, which erupted last week, has created several health hazards in the community.

On Friday morning, the St. John's Community Health and Inner City Struggle will be distributing 20,000 masks and at least 150 air purifiers to residents in the community who live closest to the facility. The organization's goal is to distribute 1,000 air purifiers to the impacted neighborhood over the next week.

In response to the fire, Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in Boyle Heights, enabling state resources to be used.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors also ratified a local emergency proclamation as well to expand community support, environmental monitoring and business recovery assistance. The emergency proclamation was declared by Supervisor Hilda Solis, who said that thousands of air purifiers and masks have been distributed to residents impacted by fire and smoke.

LAFD Capt. Jacob Raabe has warned residents that some smoke could remain in the area through the week, even after the blaze was extinguished.

The LAFD will be working with private contractors to remove the food stored inside the building. Raabe described the building as a massive "ice chest," and said there's more than 85 million pounds of food inside, and some has already burned or spoiled.

Although the official cause of the fire has not been determined, Lineage, the building's tenant and operator, said that the fire may have originated from work being performed by a third-party contractor handling solar panels on the roof.

Lineage response to the fire

On Monday, Lineage told CBS LA that the building is owned by Chill Build Los Angeles, LLC, and that the solar array on the building is owned by Los Palos Street Operating, LLC, which is a subsidiary of Altus Power. The building's solar contractor is Pearce, which is a subsidiary of CBRE.

In a statement, Lineage said the company is committed to the fastest cleanup process possible "without sacrificing health, safety, and regulatory compliance."

"We are ready to begin as soon as LAFD turns the building over to its owner and to us as its tenant operator," the company said. "We have already hired Signal Restoration Services, an industry-leading cleanup firm, to lead our efforts, and we have staged cleanup equipment onsite.

Lineage also urged government agencies to promptly address permitting or other approvals necessary to begin the cleanup.

In a statement, Altus said the cause of the fire was yet to be determined.

"Our first concern is for the residents of Boyle Heights, everyone affected by this fire, and for the firefighters working to contain it. The cause of the fire where our rooftop solar array is located at the Los Palos Street facility has yet to be determined," the statement said. "We are cooperating fully with the authorities as they investigate."
