2 shot and killed inside upscale Los Angeles home; no one in custody
An investigation was underway Tuesday morning after a man and woman were found dead with gunshot wounds to their head inside a San Fernando Valley home. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers were dispatched to conduct a welfare check in the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue in Encino shortly after 2:30 p.m. Monday. Upon arriving, the officers found a pair of victims, only described as a man and a woman, had been shot in the head. Both were pronounced dead at the scene by responding L.A. Fire Department paramedics. The relationship between the two decedents is not known. As of 6 a.m. Tuesday, there was no description of a suspect or suspects, and they remained outstanding. A nearby resident who called KTLA to report the police activity stated that the home where the shooting took place is a rental property that at one point belonged to the late rapper Juice WRLD in some capacity. That claim was not confirmed by law enforcement. Nancy Fontan contributed to this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Trader Joe's leaves LA customers seeing double after opening another store directly across the street
A Trader Joe's in a wealthy southern California neighborhood was so popular that the grocery chain with a rabid fan base decided to open a new outpost — right across the street. The popular grocery store opened its second Sherman Oaks location, directly across the street from another outpost on Riverside Avenue, on June 6, according to the chain's website. The California-based supermarket's newest location, nicknamed 'Sherman Oaks too,' sits in a busy mixed-use building just minutes from the hectic US Highway 101 in the San Fernando Valley, about 15 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The original location, opened in 1973, occupies a quieter, stand-alone building, SFGate reported. Despite obvious upgrades given the fresh space, Trader Joe's first Sherman Oaks location can be reached within a minute of the new location - and the company plans to keep the old one open. 'We've had a great relationship with our customers in Sherman Oaks for 52 years, and we plan to keep both stores open,' Trader Joe's spokesperson Naika Rohde said. 'Both stores offer the same great products and delightful customer experience, but each has a different layout and parking lot.' While both locations offer the same beloved specialty snacks and products, SFGate noted the newer location features a vibrant exterior mural, underground parking and a less-cramped shopping experience. The newer storefront has wider aisles to better accommodate shopping carts, as well as higher ceilings than the original, according to the report. Trader Joe's latest addition, while confusing to customers, seems to be part of an upward trend for the company, as they plan to open at least a dozen new stores across the country this year alone. 'Since Trader Joe's began in 1967, we have been in growth mode. Some years, we grow more than others, and our goal is always to bring delicious products at great values to as many people as we can,' Rohde said. ' The best way to do that is to open more stores.'

The L.A. farmer's market where celebrities are as plentiful as the produce
Even if you have never been to Los Angeles, you may still harbour a subconscious awareness of Studio City Farmers Market. There, amongst the 85 organic produce vendors, did paparazzi first snap Jeremy Allen White back in 2023 straining against the weight of freshly-cut flowers the size of his torso — a sight that has since become a viral sensation. So memorable is that sighting of White that it was even raised during a recent appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.' 'You're always carrying giant bouquets of flowers everywhere you are, I love it. It's your thing,' said Fallon. 'I have this farmer's market near my house,' White said. 'It's on Sundays and I just love going there, I love having flowers in my house.' Apparently, so does every other celebrity within a 20 mile radius of the southeast San Fernando Valley, where Studio City Farmers Market — an LA institution that has been running since 1998, and White's farmers' market of choice — is located. So common are famous faces (Anne Hathaway, Jacob Elordi, Paris Hilton, Elle Fanning, Anwar Hadid and Barbara Palvin, to name a few) that Yelp reviews of the market often include an elated description of an A-lister sighting. On Getty alone, over 700 images are geotagged inside the space; while image platform Alamy features more than 4,000 photos shot there. Appetite for the market is growing, according to executive director of Studio City Chamber of Commerce, Esther Walker. Each week, she fields between five and ten vendor applications from growers and small businesses keen to sell at the storied location. First-time traders need not apply, Walker told CNN earlier this year, in light of the footfall of a few thousand that descend each week — which, for less experienced vendors, can be 'overwhelming.' 'Business is always nice for our vendors, but it is an extremely popular farmer's market,' she said. 'We're very crowded.' Despite White's recent endorsement of the market on prime-time TV, star power has always been part of Studio City's story. Walker began working for the Chamber of Commerce in 2007, just one year before the market's organizers made the decision to hire professional security. 'The reason was because we had so many issues with paparazzi,' she said. 'We had some really aggressive paparazzi that were following around actor parents with their kids and made them feel uncomfortable. We just felt like we needed to do something.' Currently, the market employs three security staff members, as well as three undercover security guards — all retired police officers. Paparazzi attitudes have evolved, however. 'I would say that the issues we had about 15 years ago don't really exist now,' said Walker. 'They tend to be a little more respectable, and they stay further away.' For Mike Arnoldi, an LA-based celebrity photographer, Studio City Farmers Market has been a certified hunting patch since it opened almost three decades ago. 'There's always been a steady flow of celebrities,' he said in a phone call. 'It just changes who's going to be there.' Back in the day, it was 'In Cold Blood' (1967) actor Robert Blake or James Franco, recalled Arnoldi. Now, it's White, Hilary Duff and 'Pretty Little Liars' actor Lucy Hale who he sees the most. Walker, who once swiftly recognized the market's A-lister clientele, such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, admitted that she was less familiar with the newer generation of stars who visit today. 'We get a lot of celebrities that my younger staff say, 'Oh my god, that's so-and-so from some show,'' she said. 'But I have no idea who they are.' Arnoldi — who counts himself one of the best celebrity spotters in the business — will start his day at the farmer's market around 9am and work straight through to 1pm, photographing on average around 20 different people. 'I shoot about 1,500 photos there, and then we narrow it down to about 40 that get sent out (to agencies like Getty and Backgrid).' His photos of White have been among the most lucrative, selling for around US$400 each. Other celebrity shots can vary anywhere from a nickel to $20 — a far cry from the couple thousand dollars a photographer might receive for a single film image, before the advent of digital cameras. Any images that feature children, Arnoldi says, are not distributed. While it's not illegal, he considers profiting off the photos of children 'unethical' and urges his staff to do the same. Not every celebrity wants their grocery run broadcast to the world, however. Lindsay Dix, who runs the bone broth stand ReBroth at Studio City with her business partner Mia Roe, says she has met most of her famous clients at the market — though several now order privately and have the soup delivered to their home. Not only is it more convenient, but it also prevents them from being 'out and chased around by the paparazzi,' she said. Dix added there's another reason for privacy, too: 'I used to do celebrity catering for 20 years, and a lot of people that claim to be vegan or vegetarian actually did eat meat.' Still, Arnoldi (who has made friends with many of the subjects of his images) has a handful of A-listers who feel differently. Some, he said, even call to give him a heads-up that they will be there on a particular day, bushels of lettuce in hand, hoping to be photographed. Written by Leah Dolan, CNN
