A 17-year-old girl was stabbed to death in Azusa by her ex-boyfriend just days before Christmas, according to her family. The Azusa Police Department responded around 10 p.m. Friday to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon on North Soldano Avenue, according to a police news release. Officers found the girl at the scene suffering from stab wounds; she was taken to a hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, police said. The 18-year-old suspect is in custody, officials said. The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office for the consideration of criminal charges. The victim’s family has identified her as Angelina Camillia Gonzales. Robert Caraballo, Angelina’s stepfather, told ABC7 that the suspect picked up Angelina from a cheerleading banquet and took her to his home. The family was eventually able to find Angelina’s location by tracking her cellphone. “When I got there, there was already crime scene tape up and forensics and all kinds of stuff. And I ran up to the officers like, ‘Hey, my daughter’s in there. You know, my daughter is in there. I’m

Several of Blake Lively’s former co-stars and collaborators have thrown their weight behind her, as she takes “It Ends With Us” star and director Justin Baldoni to court. Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment, retaliation and several other charges in a complaint filed Friday, months after rumors of a behind-the-scenes feud between the “It Ends With Us” stars overshadowed the film’s summer release. After reports of Lively’s allegations spread over the weekend, her former collaborators including America Ferrera and director Paul Feig have spoken out in support. “As Blake’s friends and sisters for over twenty years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation,” Lively’s “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” co-stars Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel said in a shared social media statement. The “Traveling Pants” trio praised Lively’s “courage” to demand a “safe workplace” on set and condemned the allegations detailed in her lawsuit, which also lists Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios and some producers as defendants. Wayfarer owns “It Ends With Us.” The movie, adapted from Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel, follows a woman

As the saying goes, “The more the merrier!” However, one local researcher says that isn’t the case when it comes to wrapping presents. Miranda Yin, an assistant professor of marketing at Cal Poly, and her co-authors say that is partly because people “overpackage” the gifts they are giving. Their research found that overpackaging is often intended to convey more thought behind the gift, but it isn’t always received that way. “There’s a discrepancy between gift givers and gift recipients when it comes to overpackaged goods,” Yin said. “Gift givers view overpackaged gifts more positively than regularly packaged gifts, whereas gift recipients display the exact opposite valuation.” She adds that their findings show over 50% of all gifts are overpackaged. “Americans tend to produce 25% more trash during the time period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s than they do the rest of the year,” said Ashley Cuder, Program Coordinator at the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA). Cuder adds that many of the items used to wrap gifts are not recyclable in San Luis Obispo County. She says tissue paper and wrapping paper
