15-year-old dies after being pinned by car at Studio City school, police say; 5 others hurt
A 15-year-old boy was killed and five others injured in a collision in the parking lot of Campbell Hall on Wednesday afternoon, authorities said. The Los Angeles Police Department received a call at 3:10 p.m. regarding a vehicle-on-pedestrian collision at the Studio City private school, according to a department spokesperson. The boy was struck by a green 2025 Rivian SUV while crossing the parking lot and pinned against a white SUV, the spokesperson said. He was gravely injured and transported to a local hospital for treatment where he was later pronounced dead. Two additional minors and three adults received non-life-threatening injuries during the collision, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Aerial footage captured by KTLA News helicopters showed a three-vehicle pileup in the parking lot. It appeared that the Rivian pushed the white SUV into a black SUV as parents were lining up in their vehicles to pick up students from school. The cause of the collision is currently unknown, as is the identity of the driver. "My heart is with the entire Campbell Hall community during this tragic time," said L.A. County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath in a statement on X. "I'm praying for the student in grave condition and all those affected—especially their friends and loved ones." The Mayor's Crisis Response Team was dispatched to the school following the incident to provide emotional support and recovery assistance to relatives and witnesses, according to the LAFD. Campbell Hall is a private Episcopal K-12 school with famous alumni including actors Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen; Dakota and Elle Fanning; and NBA players Jrue, Aaron and Justin Holiday. LaBron James' youngest son, Bronny James, transferred to the school in 2023. School representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Former LA County retirement system employee charged with grand theft
The former interim chief security officer for the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association has been charged with allegedly using his position to secure $120,000 worth of contracts for his company. Carmelo Marquez, 42, faces three counts of conflict of interest, two counts of perjury and one count of grand theft. The LA County District Attorney's Office said he made $19,904 from the contracts. If convicted as charged, he faces a maximum of six years and eight months in state prison. "Public service is meant to be a position of trust, not a way for people to enrich themselves through fraudulent actions," District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. "This is an example of why government employees must sign disclosure forms from the California Fair Political Practices Commission so there is full transparency." Prosecutors said Marquez initially worked as an independent contractor for LACERA before being named the association's interim chief security officer in February 2023. He allegedly failed to disclose that he had a business that sold software products and provided technical support for the county retirement agency. LACERA filed a lawsuit against Marquez alleging fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and conflict of interest, according to the LA County DA.
