Pursuit suspects allegedly connected to string of San Fernando Valley burglaries
The pursuit happened near the Baldwin Hills area near Jefferson Boulevard and La Brea Avenue. The Los Angeles Police Department said that one of their helicopters spotted the vehicle and requested that patrol units stop the car at about 10:45 a.m.
The suspects sped away from officers and crashed into a parked car roughly 25 minutes later near Wall and 98th streets in South LA. Following the collision, the suspects jumped out of the car and tried to run away from police. Officers immediately arrested one of them, but the other evaded police for roughly three hours.
Officers eventually found the suspect at 2:30 p.m.
Detectives said they were connected to some of the burglaries in the San Fernando Valley, but could not provide further details.
Last Thursday, Encino neighbors presented a list of demands to LA city leaders following a string of burglaries, home invasions and the killing of "American Idol" executive Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca.
"These daily crimes have shaken our community and underscore the urgent need for action and improved protection of public safety in Encino," the community letter says.
The letter also called for an increase in LAPD resources in Encino, the enforcement of existing no-camping laws in the Sepulveda Basin, and an accountability plan.

After a Lull, Agents Conduct a Big Immigration Raid in L.A.
Federal agents in Los Angeles on Wednesday conducted the most high-profile immigration sweep in the area since a court order barred the authorities from stopping people for immigration checks without 'reasonable suspicion.' Whether the raid violated the court order is a question the judge in the case could be asked to consider in the coming days. The Department of Homeland Security said that the operation, named Trojan Horse, was a 'targeted raid' that led to arrests of 16 undocumented immigrants from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua. Videos circulating on social media showed agents in tactical vests jumping out of a Penske rental truck in a Home Depot parking lot and then running onto the streets of the Westlake neighborhood, which is home to many Latino immigrants. A wave of immigration raids in and around Los Angeles in June prompted days of demonstrations and led to a lawsuit asserting that federal agents were violating the Constitution in stopping people based on factors such as race, speaking Spanish and where they worked. After a federal judge issued a temporary order barring such stops, large-scale sweeps in the Los Angeles area appeared to have fallen off, and last Friday, a three-judge appellate panel kept the order in place while the lawsuit moves forward in the lower court.

Men Shot Alongside Kodak Black Want $10.6 Million Default Judgment Against Rapper
The two bystanders wounded by gunfire outside a Justin Bieber-hosted party in 2022 are seeking millions in default damages from Kodak Black, claiming they saw the rapper 'initiate' the altercation that led to the gunfire that struck the 'No Flockin' singer as well. At a Wednesday hearing in Los Angeles, Judge Tiana J. Murillo vacated an Aug. 18 trial date for the men's lawsuit after their lawyer told the court that Black was the sole remaining defendant and should be found 'in default,' meaning he hadn't responded and should be held liable by the court. More from Rolling Stone Uber's Sexual Assault Problem 'More Pervasive' Than Disclosed, Report Says Soulja Boy Released from Custody as Gun Charge Rejected by Prosecutors Sean Combs Denied Bail for Second Time After rejecting prior requests to find the rapper in default, the judge said the plaintiffs had until Aug. 25 to submit an updated request for entry of default that would meet the court's standards. Reached by phone, an attorney for Black said the request should fail. 'Kodak has never been served with any lawsuit from California. He was never on notice of anything from California,' the rapper's longtime lawyer, Bradford Cohen, tells Rolling Stone. 'I find it unusual that they're attempting to sue the very person who was the most injured out of the individuals who got shot.' The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, Adam Rahman and Mark Schaefer, first asked for a $62 million default judgment against Black, born Dieuson Octave, last November. The court denied the request, citing deficiencies including 'inadequate' proof of damages. A follow-up request for $10.6 million was similarly denied last month, with the judge noting the men were required to substantiate their pain and suffering claims with proof of medical bills. On Wednesday, the men's lawyer said she would resubmit the damages request by the new deadline. 'I witnessed Kodak Black initiate the altercation with patrons outside of the subject location, which was the catalyst for the series of events that led to gun violence,' Rahman wrote in a sworn statement filed in April. Shaefer submitted a similar statement claiming he also saw Octave 'initiate the altercation.' The lawsuit initially named Bieber and the owners of the venue where the shooting happened as defendants alongside Octave. The judge later ruled that the shooting was not 'foreseeable' to the restaurant, so the corporate defendants were dismissed in June 2024. The plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed Bieber as a defendant a few months later. In court filings, Rahman and Schaefer said their private investigator gained access to a gated community and served the lawsuit to Octave's mom. They continued to look for the rapper himself and subsequently served him by mail, the paperwork states. According to Cohen, Octave doesn't live with his mom, and the mailing address the plaintiffs used is not in Octave's name. 'He does not own that house,' Cohen said. The Feb. 12, 2022, shooting outside The Nice Guy restaurant in West Hollywood generated a wave of headlines thanks to the long list of celebrities who attended the party inside. The event was an afterparty for Bieber's invite-only Super Bowl Weekend performance at the nearby Pacific Design Center. Rappers Lil Baby, Drake, and Gunna reportedly joined Bieber and his wife Hailey for the A-list gathering that also included Khloe Kardashian and actor Tobey Maguire. Octave, 28, was injured alongside the two men and transported to a nearby hospital. A police report obtained by Rolling Stone states he was shot in his 'upper leg.' Schaefer, an onlooker who had been collecting autographs, suffered a gunshot wound above his right ankle, requiring immediate surgery and physical therapy, his court filings say. Rahman was shot in his left shoulder, his filings state. No arrests were made.
