The suspects were identified as: Jordan Omarion Stokes, 18, from Long Beach Taylor Byron Woods, 20, from Bellflower Tyrell DeShawn Louden Jr., 20, from Indio Semaj Lamar O’Brien, 21, from Long Beach The four suspects were charged with the murder of Mario Morales-Moreno, 51, and the attempted murder of four others in Long Beach, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced in a Thursday press conference.

Shirin Senegal, whose office is located across from the victim’s home, recalls the terrifying ordeal. “I saw the [victim] working outside in his yard and as soon as I opened the door to the office, I heard at least five to seven gunshots,” she recalled. “We locked the doors and when we looked outside, I saw the gentleman on the ground and they were trying to revive him.” Loved

He did his bit of smuggling, he once sang, and he ran his share of grass. Now, the late, great Jimmy Buffett is being honored by an assortment of his many friends and admirers in an all-star tribute concert Thursday night at the Hollywood Bowl. Keep the Party Going, as the show is billed, takes place seven months after Buffett died from skin cancer in September at age 76, leaving behind a lifestyle empire that reportedly made him a billionaire — and, of course, a deep catalog of wryly literate songs that blend country, pop, folk, rock and Caribbean music. In the wake of his death came warm remembrances from the likes of former President Clinton, who said Buffett’s work “brought happiness to millions of people,” and Alan Jackson, with whom Buffett recorded the No. 1 country hit “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.” Elton John called him “a unique and treasured entertainer”; LL Cool J said he was “glad we had time to vibe.” Among the many acts set to perform at the Bowl are Paul McCartney, the Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi, Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile

New stray and owner-surrendered dogs are being redirected from the Downey Animal Care Center to other facilities in response to a bacterial outbreak, Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control announced Thursday. The outbreak caused by the streptococcus zooepidemicus bacterium poses a significant risk to dogs when multiple dogs are housed in animal shelters or other behaviorally stressful conditions, according to Don Belton, a public information officer with the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control. The bacterium can lead to severe pneumonia in immunocompromised dogs, who can become ill very quickly with few warning signs, Belton said. There is no vaccine against streptococcus zooepidemicus. New stray and owner-surrendered dogs are being redirected to the department’s Baldwin Park and Carson/Gardena centers, Bolton said. The department and American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals began swab testing of affected kennel areas and deep cleaning efforts this week. Special attention has been given to areas housing positive or symptomatic dogs, Belton said. Dogs infected with streptococcus zooepidemicus are under daily observation by veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians. Symptomatic dogs are receiving

The mother of a 19-year-old man fatally stabbed to death six years ago in Foothill Ranch testified Thursday how she grew suspicious of her son’s accused killer when she and her husband reached out to him for help finding the victim. Jeanne Pepper, the first witness in the trial of 26-year-old Samuel Lincoln Woodward of Newport Beach, who is charged with the Jan. 3, 2018, killing of Pepper’s son, 19-year-old Blaze Bernstein. She said she did not know Woodward previously, nor that he was a former classmate of her son. Woodward is charged with murder with sentencing enhancements for a hate crime and the personal use of a deadly weapon. He faces up to life in prison without parole if convicted. Pepper said she and her husband saw that her nearsighted son, Blaze, had left behind his glasses, wallet and other items. They started rummaging through his electronic devices for clues and found that his Apple laptop was synced with his iPhone. They called the authorities. An Orange County sheriff’s deputy came to her home, but she didn’t think they were taking it very seriously.

After 48 hours of nagging questions and will-he-or-won’t-he uncertainty, Bear Alexander emerged from the tunnel under the John McKay Center in full pads and helmet, his mere presence a sigh of relief after a dramatic stretch of spring at USC. Those previous two days had been defined by dizzying speculation surrounding the standout defensive tackle’s future at the school. Alexander seemed all but bound for the transfer portal on Tuesday morning, before a final pitch from USC coaches Wednesday shifted those sentiments. By Thursday afternoon, it was as if nothing had ever happened behind the scenes. “Bear is doing fine,” coach Lincoln Riley said with a shrug. “I know there was a bunch of stuff on the outside. I know he felt the need to address it because there was so much on the outside, which kind of starts anywhere and everywhere in this day and age.” With the advent of the transfer portal, the increasing influence of NIL and the rampant regularity of tampering across the sport, this sort of portal chaos and roster uncertainty has become a standard part of the calendar for
