Too many crimes each day in the Los Angeles area. We MUST hold all criminals accountable, whether housed or unhoused, and we have to change the frightening scenarios on our streets. Constant outreach and mental health strategies everywhere. Move people off the streets now.
Breaking: Woman killed at Croft House on N. La Brea has been identified as 24 year old Brianna Kupfer. LAPD says Kupfer was working alone when a homeless man stabbed her to death and ran into back alley. Killer remains on the loose. Police believe this was a random attack.
