79-year-old vacuuming SUV dragged to death in carjacking, California cops say
A 79-year-old man died after being dragged up to a half-mile by his carjacked SUV, California sheriff's officials reported. James Norman of Corona died following the violent theft at 12:22 p.m. Monday, May 12, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Norman was vacuuming the back seat of his Chevrolet Trailblazer outside a Norco car wash when an accused carjacker jumped in the front seat and drove away, deputies told KTLA. He became trapped in the back seat, then fell to the pavement and was dragged up to a half-mile before falling off, deputies told KCAL. Norman was taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries, sheriff's officials said in the news release. The stolen SUV was later found parked in Riverside, deputies said. Detectives arrested Ryan Hewitt, 29, of Corona on charges of carjacking and murder following an investigation, the sheriff's office said. An investigation continues but investigators believe no other suspects were involved. They ask anyone with information to call 951-955-2777 or 951-955-2600.

Cooler, cloudier conditions continue through Monday for Southern California
Southern California will remain under cooler, cloudier, and unsettled conditions through Monday, with periods of overnight and early morning drizzle or light showers. The unseasonably cool and damp weather, including the chance for isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms over the mountains, has prompted a KCAL Next Weather Alert. According to the National Weather Service, the unsettled pattern will persist with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible. Moisture levels remain moderate. Combined with weak steering winds, there is potential for brief but heavy downpours, raising concerns for localized flooding—especially in and around recent burn areas. Residents in those zones are advised to stay informed. In addition, gusty northerly winds are expected across southern Santa Barbara County from Sunday morning into the evening. Daytime highs will remain below average, with temperatures in the 60s to low 70s across coastal and valley regions. A slight warm-up is forecast for Monday as skies will begin to clear, with drier and warmer weather returning by Tuesday.
