Fans of the Nickelodeon show “The Casagrandes” showed their love for the animated series about a Mexican American family when “The Casagrandes Movie” debuted on Netflix on March 22. It wasn’t long before the film, directed by the show’s creator Miguel Puga, entered the streaming site’s top 10 in 57 countries, standing alongside other productions that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. For Puga, having his humbly budgeted epic tale among those titles is a badge of honor. “The Casagrandes Movie” begins when its young heroine Ronnie Anne (Izabella Alvarez) turns 12 and plans to spend the summer skating with her daredevil best friend Sid Chang (Leah Mei Gold). But Rosa (Sonia Manzano), her mother, has other plans. The entire Casagrande clan is traveling to the fictional town of Japunda, Michoacán, so that Ronnie Anne can experience the land of her ancestors. What starts as a vacation meant for fun bonding turns into a thrill-packed mission when demigod Punguari (Paulina Chávez) awakens. Her millennia-old tantrum rebelling against her own mother threatens to destroy Japunda, unless Ronnie Anne and the women in her lineage work together

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputies on Tuesday shot and killed a 17-year-old boy authorities say was experiencing a mental health crisis — the second teen killed by the law enforcement agency in less than a month. The boy was inside the Victorville foster home of his sister when deputies responded around 1 p.m. to a call of an “unwanted subject” in the house in the 17100 block of Forest Hills Drive, according to the Sheriff’s Department. He had locked himself in a bathroom and threatened to hurt himself when deputies kicked down the door and tried to arrest him, the department said. The deputies first spent about 30 minutes trying to de-escalate the situation, authorities said. Video released by the Sheriff’s Department shows deputies struggling with the 17-year-old — who was armed with a knife — in the bathtub. One officer was cut and a deputy shot the teen, who later died at the hospital, according to the department.

A semi truck and a sedan struck and killed a horse that had been seen running along a busy freeway Tuesday evening in City of Industry, blocking traffic for several hours. California Highway Patrol officers responded to a call at 7:49 p.m. of a “horse running in lanes and slow traffic” on the 605 Freeway, CHP Officer Ramon Kendricks said. A minute later, another call reported a trailer had stopped next to a “dead horse blocking one or two lanes,” he said. At 7:55 p.m., CHP officers arrived on the scene to find that the horse had been hit by “a sedan and a semi truck,” according to Hendricks. It was unclear how the horse got on the freeway, perhaps falling from a trailer, he said, and officials continue to investigate the incident. The “horse was blocking the HOV and one lane,” and after CHP arrived “all lanes were stopped,” he said. Caltrans officials said initially that they did not have the ability to pick up the horse and requested help from animal control. Ultimately, though, “Caltrans responded with a loader and a dump truck,”

An Anaheim man died Tuesday afternoon after he was involved in a crash with a garbage truck while riding his motorcycle in Garden Grove. The crash happened around 1:15 p.m. on the 11700 block of Western Avenue, according to the Garden Grove Police Department. Details about the crash itself are limited, but police say officers arrived on scene and found the 56-year-old motorcyclist unresponsive in the roadway. Paramedics arrived on scene and transported the unidentified man to a local trauma center where he was later pronounced dead. The driver of the garbage truck remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation, police said. The Garden Grove Neighborhood Traffic Unit is leading the investigation and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Crime Lab processed and photographed the scene. The Coroner’s Office is conducting an autopsy and will determine the cause of death. At this time, alcohol or drugs are not suspected to have been factors in the crash, but that determination will ultimately be made by the results of the autopsy. The crash remains under investigation and anyone with information of footage from the scene

A credit union manager in Ventura County has been sentenced to a year in prison after it was discovered she used bank funds to pay her own personal bills and approved fraudulent wire transfers totalling nearly a quarter-million dollars. On Wednesday, Tina Torres, 55, of Santa Paula, received a suspended sentence of six years and eight months in state prison. She will also be placed on felony probation for two years and her suspended sentence would be reinstituted if she violates the terms of her probation, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said. In February, Torres pleaded guilty to eight felony counts of grand theft, forgery and grand theft by embezzlement. According to the D.A.’s Office, Torres was a manager at Limoneira Federal Credit Union in Santa Paula from 2016 to 2019. That position provided her access to the credit union’s financial records and authority to approve wire transfers. In 2019, a financial audit of the financial institution revealed Torres paid more than $26,000 of her personal bills out of credit union accounts. She also approved more than $225,000 in unauthorized wire transfers over the

Nearly 45 years after her murder, a homicide victim in Rancho Cucamonga has been identified using DNA. Karen Marie Heverly, 16, was found by a worker in a vineyard near 8th Street and Rochester Avenue on June 7, 1979, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release. “The victim was found to have sustained traumatic injuries and the manner of death was determined to be a homicide,” the release said. “Investigators exhausted all leads attempting to identify the victim and the case went cold.” In 2023, however, San Bernardino County officials sent the victim’s DNA samples to Othram Inc. for processing. “Othram Inc. scientists developed a suitable DNA extract and used Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing to build a comprehensive DNA profile,” the release explained. “Othram’s in-house forensic genetic genealogy team used the profile in a genealogical search to produce investigative leads.” Those leads produced the name of Heverly, who ran away from her parents’ Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, home in 1979 “under unknown circumstances,” investigators said. Anyone with information about Heverly or what may have happened to her is asked to call Detective Justin

If you are planning to watch the solar eclipse, scheduled to happen on Monday, April 8, Los Angeles County has multiple locations ideal for viewing the phenomenon. The eclipse will first be visible over the South Pacific Ocean, reaching the Pacific coast in Mexico at roughly 11:07 PDT before continuing northeast. The path of totality, or the thin track across the U.S. from which the sun will appear obscured, starts in Texas and continues northeast through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The end of the world as we know it? Myths about the solar eclipse While Southern California isn’t in the path of totality, residents can still enjoy the rare event at these locations. It’s important to note that those wanting to view the solar eclipse should have eye protection. Many businesses sell the glasses, but other organizations give them away for free. Los Angeles County Libraries Branches in Sylmar, Studio City, Vermont Square, Playa Vista, and Edendale will host solar eclipse viewing parties and give away solar eclipse glasses.

By Caitlin Yilek April 3, 2024 / 5:56 PM EDT / CBS News Trump gag order expanded in hush money case Trump pays $175 million bond in fraud case, judge expands gag order in hush money case 03:19 Washington — The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal case in New York rejected his last-minute bid to delay the start of the trial until after the U.S. Supreme Court rules on Trump’s presidential immunity claim.  Trump had asked to push back the start date for his trial, which is related to a “hush money” payment made by an attorney for Trump to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, until after the Supreme Court rules on whether he is shielded from criminal prosecution by “presidential immunity” in another one of his criminal cases. The trial is slated to begin April 15 .  Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan denied the request Wednesday, saying it was “untimely” and that Trump’s lawyers had months to raise the issue before the motion was filed in March.  “This Court finds that Defendant had myriad opportunities to raise the claim
