Family searching for answers after man killed in same Baldwin Park shooting that left police officer dead
Darius Wong, a father of two, dropped his daughters, wife and sister-in-law off outside the front door of a family party in Baldwin Park on Saturday so he could park their car down the street. For reasons that are still unclear to his family, Wong never made it to the party. He was instead shot dead on the street, and now the family says they're seeking justice. Wong, 43 of Hacienda Heights, was the man killed on Filhurst Avenue in Baldwin Park, which led to more tragedy just minutes later. After finding Wong lying on the sidewalk at about 7:12 p.m., a neighbor called the police. Members of the Baldwin Park Police Department arrived and found Wong dead. Darius Wong, 43, was shot and killed on Saturday, May 31, 2025, just before an officer with the Baldwin Park Police Department was allegedly killed by the same suspect. The Vuong Family In the next few moments, the officers encountered a suspect, who authorities say was armed with a rifle. A gun battle ensued, leading to two officers and the suspect being shot. One of the officers, later identified by officials as Samuel Riveros, was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Another officer, Anthony Pimentel, was briefly hospitalized. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department identified the suspect as 22-year-old Eduardo Roberto Medina-Berumen. He was also wounded and remained hospitalized as of Monday, but he could face two murder charges upon his release. It's not yet clear what motive Medina-Berumen could have had when he allegedly shot and killed Wong and Riveros. When speaking with KCAL News, the family of Wong alleged Medina-Berumen got in a dispute over a parking spot with another guest of the party Wong was attending, although he wasn't involved. They say Wong was shot in the back, unclear of the situation. "Darius left this world far too soon and in the most innocent of ways — without truly knowing what was happening," Wong's brother Victor Vuong wrote in an online fundraiser. His family called him a "hardworking man who cared deeply for his family," which includes two daughters who are 3 and 5 years old. L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman's office said charges against Medina-Berumen were set to be announced on Tuesday afternoon.

Nick Frost on Playing Hagrid in HBO's HARRY POTTER: 'I'm Never Going to Copy Robbie Coltrane' — GeekTyrant
Nick Frost knows exactly what he's walking into, with HBO's Harry Potter series adaptation, and he's not taking it lightly. Frost is stepping into the oversized boots of Rubeus Hagrid, the beloved Hogwarts gamekeeper originally brought to life by the late Robbie Coltrane. While fans might be wondering how Frost plans to approach such a towering character, the Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz actor made it clear that there will be no mimicry, but plenty of respect. The actor told Collider: 'I'm going to try and do something, not 'different,' I think you have to be respectful to the subject matter, but within that, there's scope for minutia. 'I always read Hagrid as he's like a lovely, lost, violent, funny, warm child. I think the beauty of being able to do a book a season means I get to explore that a lot more, and I can't wait.' Frost's comments come with a heartfelt nod to Coltrane's legacy, with Frost saying: 'I'm really aware of what went before me.' While he's carving out his own version of the character, he's doing it in full view of the shadow cast by Coltrane's 'amazing performance.' This new HBO take on Harry Potter is shaping up to be something far more expansive than the films. Each season will adapt one book, offering deeper dives into characters and storylines that didn't always have room to breathe in the original movie format. That added depth is part of what excites Frost, who clearly sees the opportunity to peel back the layers of Hagrid's complex personality. Joining Frost in this reimagined series are Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. Other key roles include John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Snape, Luke Thallon as Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse as Filch. Behind the scenes, the show is helmed by Succession director Mark Mylod, with His Dark Materials writer Francesca Gardiner as showrunner. Executive producers include J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts, and David Heyman, who also produced the original film series. For Frost, he is looking to find the humanity and the humor inside the half-giant character who's rough around the edges but endlessly lovable. And if there's one thing he's sure of, it's this: 'I'm never going to copy his ( Coltrane's) work.'

West Ham United complete the £32.8m signing of Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice
West Ham United have completed the signing of Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice on a five-year deal for £32.8million (€39m; $44.3m). The 25-year-old defender initially joined in August on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy. West Ham retaining their Premier League status ensured the clause was activated. Todibo, who has two caps for France, rejected a move to Juventus last summer. Team-mate Alphonse Areola also advised the defender to turn down a switch to the Italian side. In January, Marseille enquired about Todibo's availability, but he informed his representatives he was happy at West Ham and had no interest in leaving. The former Toulouse and Barcelona centre-back is frustrated that a calf injury stalled his progress. He made 27 Premier League appearances, 21 of which were starts, but was substituted on 10 occasions. Advertisement Following the 3-1 victory over relegation side Ipswich Town, Todibo thanked supporters on social media. 'Ending the season with a win always feels good,' he tweeted. 'It might not be the position I was hoping for in my first year here, but we'll come back even stronger next season. Huge thanks to everyone for the support.'
