Woman stabbed amid West Hollywood brawl is in critical condition A woman who was stabbed during a brawl in West Hollywood early Sunday morning is in critical condition, authorities said. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said it received a call about a fight involving “multiple people” in the area of Santa Monica Boulevard between San Vicente and Robertson boulevards — where several popular bars are located — around 3 a.m. When deputies responded to the call, they found a woman in her early 20s who had sustained a serious stab wound to her upper body, according to Deputy Jacob Sivley. She was treated by L.A. County Fire Department paramedics and then taken to a hospital, where she remains in critical condition, Sivley said. Sivley said the department did not have information on a suspect to release. “Due to the severity of the assault,” homicide investigators were notified of the incident around 8 a.m. and are handling the inquiry, Sivley said. Anyone with information is asked to reach out to the Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500. Los Angeles Times $20,000 reward offered as Los Angeles County investigators seek information on 2024 murder Los Angeles County investigators are still asking the public for help as they continue searching for the suspect who shot and killed a woman in Lynwood in late 2024.

She was pronounced dead at the scene. Deputies say that she was shot by the male driver of a 2014-2018 Toyota Corolla with four doors and a sunroof. "Moments after stopping on Oak Street, Irene was shot in the back by the driver as she fled the vehicle," deputies said. "The suspect sped away, and her body was discovered hours later."

CBS 2 Second Los Angeles-area postal worker sentenced for stealing over $10 million in checks from mail A second Los Angeles-area U.S. Postal Service worker has been sentenced to prison for stealing checks from the mail for several years. Charlie Banks Green Jr, 37, of East Los Angeles, was sentenced to five and a half years in federal prison and ordered to pay $1.62 million in restitution after he stole more than $10 million in Treasury and other checks from the mail over a four-year period, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Prosecutors said that Green, who worked at the Bicentennial Post Office in LA's Fairfax District, pleaded guilty in April to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. At the time, he admitted to stealing mail containing checks of large value, as well as debit cards from the state's Employment Development Department between 2020 and August 2024. The DOJ's news release said that Green worked alongside his friend, 34-year-old Huntington Beach man Rashad Deon Stolden, who also pleaded guilty to a conspiracy count.

CBS 2 ‘Do what you can to survive': After being shot 4 times, Missouri officer tells story of recovery In the minutes after he was shot four times, Lee’s Summit Officer Jared Timbrook remembers he wanted to talk. Not just lie there, but keep saying something. It’s like a “survival tactic,” Timbrook, 39, said. And on June 2, when he was shot during a domestic violence call, he leaned on that. “Kind of reassuring myself that I, you know, don’t know how well I am, but I’m talking,” Timbrook said Tuesday morning, as he spoke to the media for the first time since the shooting. “I’m still talking, I’m still coherent, I’m still able to give information. “It’s just something that’s kind of taught to us in training. Do what you can to make sure you stay conscious. Do what you can to survive.” Timbrook — who was shot in the left leg, left arm, the chest of his body armor and the shoulder — spent 6 to 8 weeks recovering at home. He came back last month to light duty. And as he continues to heal and get back to full strength, he’s working in the detective unit helping with cases. “They expect (Timbrook) to make a full return to the road,” said Sgt. Chris Depue with the Lee’s Summit Police Department.

More than 100 firefighters responded to the scene and most people living in the building were ordered to shelter in place.
