A homeless man was arrested for allegedly pistol whipping and firing at another homeless man during a dispute in Compton, authorities said Saturday. No one was injured during the dispute, a watch commander at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Compton station told City News Service. Deputies were dispatched at about 8 p.m. Friday to South Sportsman Drive and Atlantic Avenue, near an underpass for the Long Beach (710) Freeway. The suspect had fired at the victim and ran into a “fortified encampment” in that area, according to the watch commander. A search of the encampment located the suspect hiding in a tree and a K-9 unit was used to assist the man out of the tree and into custody, authorities said. No further information was immediately available.

A former Nielsen Co. employee has settled “in principle” her lawsuit against the global marketing research and television ratings firm, in which she alleged she and other current and former workers are owed back compensation, much of it for missed meal and breaks as well as overtime. Armida Marquez brought the proposed class-action suit in Los Angeles Superior Court in March 2023, alleging multiple violations of the state Labor Code. Marquez asked for a court finding that the company violated the Labor Code provisions and that back wages be paid with interest. On Thursday, Marquez’s lawyers filed court papers with Judge Kenneth Freeman notifying him of the tentative accord which, subject to court approval, will “resolve the … action in its entirety” in about 120 days when the parties complete the appropriate paperwork. No terms were divulged. In their previous court papers, Nielsen attorneys maintained that all employees were “properly and fully compensated for all work performed” and that Marquez’s suit should be dismissed. According to Marquez’s suit, Nielsen “had the financial ability to pay such compensation, but willfully, knowingly and intentionally failed to do

A video showing embattled music legend Sean “Diddy” Combs violently attacking his then-girlfriend in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 is likely to add more urgency to a federal sex-trafficking investigation into the star. The video shows Combs chasing, kicking, dragging and hurling a glass vase at Cassie, a singer whose real name is Casandra Ventura. It was obtained Friday by CNN and corroborates parts of a civil lawsuit Ventura filed against Combs last year, which was settled a day after it was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The video is not related to the federal probe, but it is drawing more attention to the ongoing investigation. Law enforcement sources told The Times that Combs is the subject of a sweeping inquiry into sex-trafficking allegations that resulted in a federal raid in March at his estates in Los Angeles and Miami. Combs has not been charged with any crime and has denied any wrongdoing. Allegations against Combs have piled up in recent years. Four women have accused him of rape, assault and other abuses, dating back three decades.

Updated on: May 18, 2024 / 12:14 PM EDT / CBS/AP Family of American held in Syria turn to Trump Family of Majd Kamalmaz, American detained in Syria, appeal to Trump for help 02:53 An American citizen who disappeared seven years ago while traveling in Syria is presumed dead, the man’s daughter said Saturday. Maryam Kamalmaz told the Associated Press that eight senior U.S. officials revealed earlier this month that they have specific and highly credible intelligence about the presumed death of her father, Majd, a psychotherapist from Texas. During the meeting, held in Washington, the officials told her that on a scale of one to 10, their confidence level about her father’s death was a “high nine.” She said she asked whether other detained Americans had ever been successfully recovered in the face of such credible information, and was told no. “What more do I need? That was a lot of high-level officials that we needed to confirm to us that he’s really gone. There was no way to beat around the bush,” Maryam Kamalmaz said.
