Man Shot to Death in Alhambra

Rosa Porto, the baker and Cuban émigré who founded the popular Porto’s Bakery &amp; Café chain in Southern California with her family, died Friday, according to the business’s Instagram page. She was 89.
“I learned by breaking eggs and from necessity,” Rosa Porto was quoted in the Times as saying. “I started baking the cakes for my kids, and since they were pretty, my neighbors started asking me to make cakes for them.”
Porto came from Manzanillo, Cuba. After Fidel Castro took power on the island in 1959, Porto lost her job as a manager at a cigar distributor, and her husband, Raul, was sent to a labor camp. Porto, who had grown up learning the recipes of her Spanish-born mother, supported her family by making and selling brandy-soaked sponge cakes, though Castro’s regime forbade private citizens from owning businesses.
After years on a wait list, Porto and her family were allowed to leave Cuba in the early 1970s. They arrived flat broke in Los Angeles, where Raul got a job as a janitor and Rosa baked and sold cakes from home for neighbors and fellow Cuban immigrants.

&#8220;Magic mushrooms&#8221; may have moved one step closer to becoming a treatment for depression.
The active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms is called psilocybin &#8212; and a new British study suggests it could safely be used to treat depression when other drugs have failed, offering hope to millions of patients worldwide.
The study, conducted by King&#8217;s College London and mental healthcare company Compass Pathways, administered psilocybin to 89 healthy adult volunteers.
The study compared the effects of 10mg and 25mg doses of psilocybin, and a placebo.
There were &#8220;no serious adverse events&#8221; and &#8220;no negative effects&#8221; on cognitive and emotional function among the volunteers that took psilocybin, <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/compass-pathways-and-kings-college-london-announce-results-from-psilocybin-study-in-healthy-volunteers-300973347.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a Compass Pathways press release</a>. Instead, the volunteers experienced &#8220;changes in sensory perception and positive mood alteration&#8221; &#8212; typical effects of psychedelic drugs.
&#8220;The results of the study are clinically reassuring and support further development of psilocybin as a treatment for patients with mental health problems that haven&#8217;t improved with conventional therapy, such as treatment resistant depression,&#8221; said James Rucker, one of the lead researchers from King&#8217;s College London, in the press release.
This is just the first of two phases in their testing &#8212; the second phase trial will involve over 200 patients with depression across Europe and North America.
More than 264 million people worldwide are affected by depression, <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/depression" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the World Health Organization</a>. The <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/17/health/magic-mushroom-chemical-depression/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most common pharmaceutical treatment</a> is to take antidepressants like Prozac, which increase levels of serotonin in the brain to improve mood.
But this type of antidepressant doesn&#8217;t work for everyone, and is generally prescribed as a long-term treatment to maintain effectiveness.
By contrast, psychedelic drugs quickly alter our brain function, and could therefore potentially treat patients in just a few doses when combined with therapy, researchers have suggested. Though research remains in the early stages, such a treatment could target a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, addiction, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
Here&#8217;s how it works: theoretically, psilocybin helps &#8220;loosen&#8221; the deeply-rooted patterns of thinking and behavior behind many of these mental disorders, <a href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/ioppn/depts/pm/research/cfad/psilocybin-trials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to King&#8217;s College London</a>. It could &#8220;relax&#8221; the parts of our brain that control these behaviors, thus allowing old patterns to change or fade. Patients who have received psilocybin have described coming down from the high with &#8220;new insights&#8221; and changed perspectives on their difficulties, said the university.
<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/17/health/magic-mushroom-chemical-depression/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A 2014 Imperial College London study</a> supports this theory. After volunteers were injected with psilocybin, the parts of their brain associated with emotional thinking became more active, while the introspective, self-conscious part of their brain became less active.
But psilocybin and other pschedelics are likely still a long way to being approved, developed, and rolled out as treatments. Only recently have US cities like <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/08/us/denver-magic-mushrooms-approved-trnd/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denver</a> and <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/05/health/oakland-decriminalizes-magic-mushrooms-trnd/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oakland</a> moved to decriminalize psilocybin; nationwide, it&#8217;s still listed as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, meaning it has no medicinal properties under official US federal policy.

<li>Meanwhile, season the cream with a little salt, warm it gently and pour into a gratin dish. Turn the soufflés out into the cream, sprinkle the grated cheese over them, then return them to the oven for 5 minutes.<div class="sticky-panel p402_hide"></div></li>

This coming week’s <a href="https://apnews.com/ffdf93f9ea109a1c3006eb7c4e46d029">virtually certain House impeachment of President Donald Trump</a> will underscore how Democrats and Republicans have morphed into fiercely divided camps since lawmakers impeached President Bill Clinton.
Twenty-one years ago this Thursday, a Republican-led House approved two impeachment articles against Democrat Clinton. While that battle was bitterly partisan, it was blurrier than the near party-line votes expected this week when the House, now run by Democrats, is poised to impeach Republican Trump.
Two of the four Clinton impeachment articles were killed — something party leaders today would jump through hoops to avoid for fear of highlighting divisions. All four Clinton articles drew GOP opposition, peaking at 81 on one vote. That's an unthinkable number of defections today.
“Obviously it was partisan, but it wasn’t as intensely partisan as today is," said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., one of four Republicans who opposed all the Clinton impeachment articles and the last remaining member of that group in Congress. “So you could basically argue conscience, you could say you looked at it and didn’t think this was the way to go."
In the upcoming votes on <a href="https://apnews.com/85d04688d01d9792ed6feb349b0e853c">impeaching Trump</a>, Democrats expect support from all but a few — two to perhaps five — of their members. Republican leaders envision no GOP desertions.
Underscoring the intensity of the partisanship, Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, one of the Democrats planning to oppose impeachment, intends to switch parties and join the GOP. That's according to a Republican official who said top House Republicans have been told of Van Drew's plans and described the conversations on condition of anonymity.
Few defections are expected by either party when the GOP-run Senate holds a trial, probably in January, on whether to oust Trump from office. No one expects Democrats to muster the two-thirds Senate majority needed for removal over charges that he leveraged U.S. military aid and a White House meeting coveted by Ukrainian leaders to pressure them to announce investigations of his Democratic political foes.
Most Democrats were dismissive of the GOP's impeachment charges that Clinton lied to a grand jury and others about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
“The Constitution is really to protect the nation against the abuse of presidential power. Any husband could lie under oath about an affair. It doesn't take presidential powers to do that,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., who opposed the Clinton impeachment and is still in Congress, said in an interview Friday.
Clinton was a lame duck but widely popular president who was presiding over a booming economy, and polling showed that impeachment had little support. That gave Democrats little reason to back the effort to remove him and made many Republicans think twice about backing impeachment.
Back then, each party had scores of moderate lawmakers who would cross party lines on issues such as abortion, taxes and spending.
That helps explain why 81 Republicans opposed one defeated Clinton impeachment article. The other three articles drew 28, 12 and 5 GOP “no” votes. No more than five Democrats backed any of the articles impeaching Clinton.
Former Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, was chief House GOP vote counter in 1998 and was known as “The Hammer” for his effectiveness in lining up support. In an interview Friday, he said he urged wavering Republicans to read evidence gathered by Ken Starr, the independent counsel who headed the investigation into Clinton that led to the impeachment.
DeLay said party leaders “cannot break arms” on an impeachment vote because it is too important. That echoes current Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who has said she's not lobbying Democrats on the upcoming Trump votes.
“I knew where the votes were all along, and why they were wavering and why they were struggling,” DeLay said. “The questions they had, we wanted to make sure that we got answers for them.”
The numbers of moderate House Democrats and Republicans have dwindled dramatically, especially among the GOP. Only three House Republicans represent districts that Democrat Hillary Clinton carried in the 2016 presidential election, yet all three are expected to oppose Trump's impeachment.
Trump faces reelection next year and has a strong track record of weaponizing Twitter to demolish the political careers of Republicans who oppose him. Retired GOP Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Bob Corker of Tennessee left Congress following running battles with Trump, and South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford lost a party primary last year after running afoul of him.
“If you cross Trump, you’re a short-timer when it comes to politics,” said John Feehery, a GOP consultant and former House leadership aide.
In contrast, several House Republicans who opposed at least one Clinton impeachment article saw their political careers prosper. They include John Thune of South Dakota, now the No. 2 Senate GOP leader; John Kasich, who became a two-term Ohio governor and challenged Trump for the 2016 presidential nomination; and current Sens. Rob Portman of Ohio and Richard Burr of North Carolina.
Sanford rose to South Carolina governor, but abandoned the job after admitting to an extramarital affair. He returned to the House but was defeated after clashing with Trump.
Clinton's impeachment came four years after Republicans led by Rep. Newt Gingrich of Georgia captured House control for the first time in four decades.
Gingrich became speaker and embraced aggressive confrontations with Democrats. That culminated in the House impeachment of Clinton, which the GOP-led Senate later rejecting. But even the Gingrich era's battles were tamer than today's fights, with Clinton's impeachment a case in point.
The calendar of both impeachment votes also helps explain why party divisions will be sharper this time than they were for Clinton.
The House's Clinton impeachment votes came a month after congressional elections, giving incumbents two years — a lifetime in politics — until they next faced voters.
This year's Trump impeachment votes will come as the 2020 primary season is about to begin, putting recalcitrant Republicans at risk of facing Trump-backed primary challengers.

This coming week’s virtually certain House impeachment of President Donald Trump will underscore how Democrats and Republicans have morphed into fiercely divided camps since lawmakers impeached President Bill Clinton.

Trump Impeachment Vote Underscores Partisan Era

A search and rescue team member volunteer and schoolteacher was found dead Saturday amid the search for a 52-year-old hiker from Irvine who went missing near Mount Baldy nearly a week ago, authorities said.

Staples also worked as a social science and English teacher at Damien High School in La Verne, according to <a href="https://www.damien-hs.edu/apps/news/article/1139171">the school</a>.
Staples' Facebook page indicated he was married in June.
The death took place as members of a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Search and Rescue Team continued their search for the missing hiker into a seventh day.
"During today’s search a SBSD-Search and Rescue team member became separated from his partner," the sheriff's department said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/sbcountysheriff/status/1206015580295163905">written statement</a>.
A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department helicopter found Staples in an ice chute, McMahon said. A rescuer was lowered to the ground and discovered that Staples had died as a result of a fall.
The investigation into the details of the incident were under investigation.
Staples was among 126 search and rescue volunteers from 11 counties participating in the search on Saturday, McMahon said.
"Our search and rescue volunteers, as well as those from throughout the entire state, give of themselves and their time selflessly to try to rescue folks that become lost, and today is an example of what they're willing to give to try to help save some of the citizens who, unfortunately, get lost or get hurt in some of the most dangerous parts of our state."
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, and we make sure we do everything in our power to help them through this process, as well as the rest of our volunteers," McMahon said.
Mourners gathered at Damien High School for a vigil on Saturday night. A prayer service was planned for Monday at Damien High School, officials said.
"Tim Staples was a newly-married faculty member and a Damien class of 2006 graduate" Damien High School officials said in a <a href="https://www.damien-hs.edu/apps/news/article/1139171">written statement</a>. "He was a favorite teacher among his students. Tim also coached track and field. He came to Damien after several years teaching at one of Damien’s sister schools, St. Lucy’s Priory High School in Glendora."
Resources were being summoned to help the school community, and especially students, deal with the tragedy.
"Our school will have a crisis intervention team of clergy and professionals trained to help with the needs of students, parents, and school personnel," the statement said.
"We are deeply saddened by this loss and will make every effort to support our students, faculty, and alumni during this difficult time," according to the statement. "We ask that our Spartan families and extended school community come together in prayer and support for Mr. Staples’ family."
Current and former students of Staples took to social media to share memories of the beloved educator.
"Rip Mr. Staples, he was definitely the best teacher I’ve ever had," one student posted <a href="https://twitter.com/EEramya/status/1206049392991424512">on Twitter</a>.
"He was such an amazing man. He touched the hearts of everyone he met. Thoughts and prayers to his family," <a href="https://twitter.com/Brittany___V/status/1206060845861486592">wrote another.</a>

The week-old search operation for hiker Sreenivas "Sree" Mokkapati, 52, of Irvine, has been suspended, officials said.
"(Search and rescue) crews are being recalled from the mountain and search operations are being re-evaluated," the statement said.
Crews have been working in tough terrain, dealing with waist-deep snow, icy conditions and treacherous cliffs at elevations at around 7,000 feet, officials said. The mountain and surrounding area were closed to the public during the search.
The search operation began when Mokkapati became separated from his group and failed to return from a planned day hike.

Rescue Team Member Killed in Fall Amid Search for Missing Hiker On Mount Baldy

A House freshman from New Jersey who was planning to break with his party and vote against impeaching President Donald Trump will become a Republican, a GOP official said Saturday.
Top House Republicans have been told of Rep. Jeff Van Drew&#8217;s decision, according to a GOP official familiar with the conversations. The lawmaker had discussed switching parties in a meeting with Trump at the White House on Friday, an administration official said Saturday.
Van Drew&#8217;s decision underscores the pressures facing moderate Democrats from Trump-leaning districts as next week&#8217;s impeachment vote approaches. Van Drew won his southern New Jersey district by 8 percentage points last year, but Trump carried it by 5 points in 2016 and Van Drew was considered one of the more vulnerable House Democrats going into next November&#8217;s congressional elections.
There are 31 House Democrats who represent districts Trump carried in the 2016 election, and many of them have been nervous about the political repercussions they would face by voting to impeach Trump. The House Republican campaign committee has already run ads targeting many of them, but most are expected to support Trump&#8217;s impeachment.
A senior Democratic aide said Van Drew had not notified House Democratic leaders about his decision. All the aides spoke on condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
The senior Democratic aide provided what was described as a poll conducted earlier this month by Van Drew&#8217;s campaign showing that by more than a 2-1 margin, people in his district would prefer a different candidate than Van Drew in the Democratic primary and general election.
Rumors surfaced last week that Van Drew might switch parties, and he repeatedly denied them to reporters. But he reaffirmed his plan to oppose impeachment, barring new evidence.
&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t mean that I agree with everything the president may have said or done. It means that I don&#8217;t believe that these are impeachable offenses,&#8220; he said in an interview Thursday.
Van Drew and a spokesperson did not answer their cellphones or return text messages on Saturday.
Even with his defection, there remains no doubt that the Democratic-controlled House will vote to impeach Trump on a near party-line vote.
Democrats will still control the chamber by 232-198, plus an independent and four vacancies. Until now, Van Drew and Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota were the only Democrats expected to vote against impeachment, with perhaps a small handful of others joining them. House Republicans seem on track to oppose impeachment unanimously.
Van Drew was a longtime state senator. His congressional district had been under Republican control for nearly two decades before he was elected.
The House is set to approve two articles of impeachment against Trump this coming week. Democrats, who hold the majority, expect support from all but a few of their members. No Republicans are expected to join them.
The Republican-controlled Senate is then all but certain to acquit Trump after a trial in January.
Van Drew has argued that the process is likely just to further divide the country and it would be better to let voters decide Trump&#8217;s fate in next year&#8217;s election.
In the first article of impeachment, Trump is accused of abusing his presidential power by asking Ukraine to investigate his 2020 rival Joe Biden while holding military aid as leverage. In the second article, he&#8217;s accused of obstructing Congress by blocking the House&#8217;s efforts to investigate his actions.

Police seized 33 guns and a half-pound of methamphetamine this week after checking on a probationer in Riverside , authorities said.
Jason Earl Glaser, 37, was arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm and drug possession, according to Riverside Police Department officials and county booking records.
A second suspect and previously convicted felon, 63-year-old Carlos Uribe of Lake Matthews, was arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs for sales, transportation of drugs and being a convicted felon in possession of firearms.
An investigation led officers to Glaser&#8217;s home in the 3300 block of Pachappa Hill about 6 p.m. Thursday, Riverside police said in a written statement.
A search of the home turned up a gun and several boxes of ammunition, according to the statement. &#8220;A half-pound of methamphetamine was found discovered inside Carlos Uribe&#8217;s vehicle.&#8221;
Police then turned their attention to Uribe&#8217;s home in the 12300 block of Road Runner Ridge in an unincorporated portion of Riverside County near Lake Matthews. Twenty long guns and 12 handguns were found inside, officials said. They included AR-15s, an AK-47, several shotguns and several scoped rifles.
&#8220;Additional suspected methamphetamine and and thousand of rounds of ammunition was also found,&#8221; the police statement said.
The bust was carried out by the West Post Release Accountability &amp; Compliance Team, a task force comprised of local police agencies to keep tabs on &#8220;high-risk&#8221; and &#8220;at-large&#8221; convicts on Post-Release Community Supervision, or felony probation, under the terms of California AB 109 of 2011.

A post on Craigslist is pulling at heartstrings, titled, “Anybody need a grandma for Christmas?&#8221; The listing comes from a Tulsa woman in despair, who claimed she has no family and would really like to be a part of one this holiday. But, as social media would have it, the post has since been deleted when the woman received hateful messages. However, that hate is fueling a love-filled search to find the woman and make her Christmas one to remember. [&#8230;]

Under pressure from a conservative advocacy group, The Hallmark Channel has pulled ads for a wedding-planning website that featured two brides kissing at the altar.
The family-friendly network, which is in the midst of its heavily watched holiday programming, removed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pVnnGK6BP4">the ads</a> because the controversy was a distraction, a spokesperson said in an interview Saturday.
“The debate surrounding these commercials on all sides was distracting from the purpose of our network, which is to provide entertainment value,” said a statement provided by Molly Biwer, senior vice president for public affairs and communications at Hallmark.
In an interview, she added: “The Hallmark brand is never going to be divisive. We don&#8217;t want to generate controversy, we&#8217;ve tried very hard to stay out of it &#8230; we just felt it was in the best interest of the brand to pull them and not continue to generate controversy.&#8221;
Biwer confirmed that a conservative group, One Million Moms, part of the American Family Association, had spoken to Bill Abbott, CEO of Crown Media Family Networks, Hallmark&#8217;s parent company.
A post on the group&#8217;s website reported that Abbott &#8220;reported the advertisement aired in error.&#8221; The group also wrote: “The call to our office gave us the opportunity to confirm the Hallmark Channel will continue to be a safe and family-friendly network.&#8221;
Zola had submitted six ads, and four had a lesbian couple. After Hallmark pulled those ads, but not two featuring only opposite-sex couples, Zola pulled its remaining ads, the company said.
“The only difference between the commercials that were flagged and the ones that were approved was that the commercials that did not meet Hallmark’s standards included a lesbian couple kissing,&#8221; said Mike Chi, Zola&#8217;s chief marketing officer, in a statement sent to the AP. ”Hallmark approved a commercial where a heterosexual couple kissed.
“All kisses, couples and marriages are equal celebrations of love and we will no longer be advertising on Hallmark,&#8221; Chi said.
In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pVnnGK6BP4">one of the pulled ads</a>, two brides stand at the altar and wonder aloud whether their wedding would be going more smoothly if they had used a wedding planning site like Zola. The lighthearted ad ends with the two brides sharing a quick kiss on the altar.
Actress Sandra Bernhard, who played one of the first openly bisexual characters on network TV in “Roseanne,&#8221; criticized Hallmark&#8217;s decision.
“All the groovy gay ladies i know won&#8217;t be watching your Christmas schlock,&#8221; she wrote on Twitter, addressing Hallmark. “They&#8217;ll be out celebrating with their ’families&#8217; wives, children, friends on &amp; on &amp; getting married in chic ensembles. Didn&#8217;t you all get the memo? Family is all inclusive.&#8221;
The developments came as Hallmark appeared to be considering more same-sex themed content.
Asked about the possibility of same-sex themed holiday movies, Abbott was quoted in The Hollywood Reporter in mid-November as saying on its TV podcast: “We’re open to really any type of movie of any type of relationship.&#8221;

Authorities are searching for the man who broke into a Beverly Hills synagogue Saturday and heavily ransacked it, damaging important relics in what is being investigated as a hate crime, police said in a <a href="http://www.beverlyhills.org/citymanager/newsroom/nessahsynagoguevandalism/">news release</a>.

An employee at the Nessah Synagogue on142 S. Rexford Dr. arrived at about 7 a.m. to find the door open and the synagogue vandalized.
Officers called to the scene found furniture flipped over and brochures and other items scattered across the synagogue, the Beverly Hills Police Department said.
An investigation found that a man had walked through the streets during the early morning hours committing "a series of minor vandalisms" before he forced his way into the synagogue and vandalized it.
"The suspect damaged several Jewish relics, but fortunately the Synagogue’s main scrolls survived unscathed," police said.
There was a Torah with damage to its pages and scrolls that were undone, Beverly Hills police Lt. Elisabeth Albanese said.
Officers also found an image of a heart at the synagogue that was created with some unidentified material, according to Albanese.
"Although police are investigating the crime as a hate crime, the suspect left no markings or other overt signs of anti-Semitism," the department said in the news release.
Nothing was stolen from the synagogue and no one was there during the ransacking, police said.
Officers were helping with clean-up efforts and providing additional patrols throughout the area.
The suspect was described as being a white man between 20 to 25 years of age, with short dark curly hair and a thin build. He was last seen wearing prescription glasses, shorts, low top shoes, carrying a backpack and pulling a rolling suitcase.
The mayor of Beverly Hills called the ransacking an attack on the community.
“This cowardly attack hits at the heart of who we are as a community,” Mayor John Mirisch said in a written statement. “It is not just an attack on the Jewish Community of Beverly Hills; it’s an attack on all of us. The entire City stands in solidarity behind Nessah, its members and congregants."
Police said "significant efforts" are underway to identify and locate the person responsible.
"We are committed to catching the criminal who desecrated a holy place on Shabbat of all days and bringing him to justice," the mayor said. "We are equally committed that our City will continue to be a welcoming place for Jews and for members of all religions and groups.”
The Synagogue is expected to reopen Sunday.

Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory are teaming up with European researchers to launch a mission that will <a href="https://spark.adobe.com/page/6AUtOCtuYglX7/">probe</a> the oceans’ depths over the next decade — and chart their inexorable rise.
The <a class="Link" href="https://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/jasoncs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission</a> builds on four previous satellites that have circled the globe along the same path since 1992, carefully documenting the millimeter-by-millimeter changes in sea level fueled by greenhouse gas emissions. Over that time, they have found that the world’s oceans are rising at an increasingly rapid rate.
The rising waters have had some disastrous consequences, including the erosion of precious coastlines, contamination of agricultural land, more frequent and destructive high tides, and lost habitat for both humans and wildlife.
The Jason satellites, coupled with complementary readings from other NASA Earth-facing missions, have been essential to tracking these changes and dealing with their consequences, said <a class="Link" href="https://www.colorado.edu/aerospace/r-steven-nerem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">R.

A man in a white BMW managed to flee after shooting a 20-year-old in the head early Saturday in front of a popular food truck in Mid-City, officials said.
The incident happened in front of Leo's Tacos Truck around 1 a.m. near the intersection of La Brea Avenue and Venice Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
A witness said she heard gunshots then saw a vehicle fleeing quickly as another car almost hit her. The driver of the second vehicle handed her his phone so she could tell a 911 operator their location, said the witness, who identified herself as Anea.
"I felt his pulse, he had a pulse... Lots of cops before ambulance came," Anea said.
“It almost seemed like it wasn’t real," the woman said.
The shooter, a 25-year-old man about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and around 165 pounds, used a long gun to shoot the victim, LAPD told KTLA.
The attacker has long hair, was wearing prescription glasses, and fled in a white, four-door BMW, according to police. The vehicle was last seen traveling south on La Brea Avenue.
In a 7 a.m. update, LAPD said the victim was alive after he suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Police initially described him as a 20-year-old, but later said his age is unknown.
Officials have not identified those involved and provided no further details about the events that led up to the shooting.
KTLA's Lucas DerMugrdechian and Alexis Lewis contributed to this report.

Construction began Friday on a Navy ship named after Harvey Milk, a former San Francisco supervisor and activist who was fatally shot months after becoming the first openly gay man elected in California more than forty years ago.
Milk was elected to the San Francisco board of supervisors in 1978 and was assassinated 10 months later along with then-Mayor George Moscone by a former county supervisor. His life was the subject of the 2008 film “Milk.”
Almost 30 years before his election, Milk was a Naval dive officer based in San Diego. His nephew, Stuart Milk, attended Friday’s event and said naming the ship — known as a fleet oiler — after his uncle sends a message to people around the world.
This “sends a global message of inclusion more powerful than simply ‘We’ll tolerate everyone,’ ” Milk said. "[It says,] we celebrate everyone.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom&#8217;s opposition to Pacific Gas &amp; Electric&#8217;s restructuring plan just a week after it struck a $13.5 billion settlement with fire victims is forcing the nation&#8217;s largest utility to go back to the negotiating table and come up with a solution fairly quickly.
The San Francisco-based company needs to pull a deal off to meet a June 30 deadline to emerge from bankruptcy protection and regain its financial footing.
Missing the deadline would prevent PG&amp;E from being able to draw from a special fund created by the Democratic governor and state lawmakers to help insulate California utilities from future fires that many people believe are bound to erupt as a changing climate continues to create hazardous conditions. Utilities are at risk because their aging electric transmission lines are expected to take years to upgrade.
On Thursday, PG&amp;E filed an amended reorganization plan with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court after reaching a settlement on Dec. 6 with thousands of people who lost homes, businesses and family members in a series of devastating fires.
In his letter on Friday, Newsom said the plan does not comply with state law and does not achieve the goal of addressing what he considers its most important elements: providing safe and reliable power to PG&amp;E customers.
“In my judgment, the amended plan and the restructuring transactions do not result in a reorganized company positioned to provide safe, reliable, and affordable service,&#8221; he said.
The governor said PG&amp;E’s plan did not go far enough in improving safety, corporate governance and the company’s financial position. The company has until Tuesday to appease Newsom and get him to sign off on the plan.
“We’ve welcomed feedback from all stakeholders throughout these proceedings and will continue to work diligently in the coming days to resolve any issues that may arise,” PG&amp;E said in a statement.
Without the added protection of the California wildfire fund, PG&amp;E would likely find it more difficult to borrow money to pay for the necessary upgrades and perhaps even fund its ongoing operations if it remains mired in bankruptcy proceedings beyond June 30.
If PG&amp;E can’t get a revised deal with the fire victims approved, it also will face the specter of navigating through two other legal gauntlets early next year that would be used as an alternative way to estimate how much the company owes for the catastrophic wildfires in 2017 and 2018 that killed nearly 130 people and destroyed about 28,000 structures in its sprawling service territory.
One, a California state trial to be held in January, will determine whether PG&amp;E is liable for a 2017 fire in Sonoma County that the company hasn’t accepted full responsibility for. The trial would also award damages to the victims if PG&amp;E is blamed. A subsequent proceeding, known as an estimation hearing, is scheduled in February before a federal judge to determine PG&amp;E’s total bill for all the fires that could have been covered in the settlement that had been worked out with the victims.
Attorneys for the fire victims so far have collectively lodged claims of about $36 billion against PG&amp;E, according to court documents. But that figure could rise even higher after the state trial and estimation hearing, and it if does would likely leave PG&amp;E unable to meet its financial obligations — a development that could lead U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali to declare the company insolvent.
If that were to happen, it would automatically void a separate $11 billion settlement deal PG&amp;E has reached with insurers who say they are owed $20 billion for the fire insurance claims they expect to pay their policyholders in the wildfires blamed on the utility. The insurance settlement, though, is also being opposed by Newsom, and is still awaiting Montali’s approval.
The governor “may have upset a rather delicate bankruptcy process,” said Jared Ellias, a bankruptcy expert at University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
“We’re going to see how resilient the deal that comes out of this process is going to be and whether it can adjust to meet his approval,” he said.

PG&E Scrambling to Renegotiate Wildfire Deal After Gov. Newsom Rejected $13.5 Billion Settlement

One kind act from a 5-year-old in Vista is touching the lives of hundreds of students, <a href="https://fox5sandiego.com/2019/12/13/kindergartner-sells-hot-cocoa-cookies-to-clear-fellow-students-lunch-debt/">KTLA sister station KSWB in San Diego reported Friday</a>.
When Katelynn Hardee, a first grader at Breeze Hill Elementary School, learned some families struggle to pay off their children's lunch balances at school, she decided she had to do something to help.
It started when she overheard another student's mother mention she was struggling to pay for something.
"She's very inquisitive," said Katelynn's mother, Karina Hardee. "So she started asking me a bunch of questions and I tried to answer as best as I could without too much for a 5-year-old, and just explained to her that some people aren't as fortunate as us."
That's when a plan formed in Katelynn's mind. "I can give money to the lunch people so they'll have money," she said.
Inspired by the lemonade stands she does during the summer, Katelynn asked her mom if she could organize a hot cocoa and cookie stand. She baked the cookies and made the hot cocoa herself, then spent three hours over the weekend selling her homemade goods.
On Monday, her mom sprang into action to see how they could donate the money to the school.
"I just left a note saying my daughter held a hot cocoa fundraiser over the weekend and would love to donate the money to any of the negative accounts," Hardee said.
The money Katelynn raised ended up paying off the lunch balances for 123 students.
"So they can lunch and snack," Katelynn explained.
Her mother told KSWB she has been inspired by her daughter's kind heart and seeing the ripple effect it has had in the school and beyond. "Her actions do create awesomeness!" she exclaimed.
Katelynn was presented with an award at school to honor her act of kindness.

San Diego County Kindergartner Sells Hot Cocoa, Cookies to Clear Classmates’ Lunch Debt

A man was arrested Friday in the violent assault and killing of his girlfriend in Long Beach last week, police said in a <a href="http://www.longbeach.gov/police/press-releases/murder-investigation--200-block-of-west-5th-street/">news release</a>.
The woman, 46-year-old Jaynie Sauter, was found unconscious with minor visible injuries to her upper torso in the 200 block of West Fifth Street in Long Beach at about 5:10 p.m. on Dec. 4, the Long Beach Police Department said.
She was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries about three days later, prompting police to launch a suspicious death investigation, authorities said.
At first, it was unclear if Sauter had been the victim of an assault or an accident, but investigators later found evidence that she had been in an argument with her boyfriend, whom she lived with in the 700 block of Chestnut Avenue, on the day she was found unconscious, according to police.
&#8220;The argument led to the victim being violently assaulted by the suspect, which led to her death,&#8221; the department said.
John Buchanan, 50, was identified as a suspect and arrested after he was found in the 1000 block of San Fernando Road in San Fernando.
He was taken to a Long Beach jail, where he was booked on suspicion of murder, police said.
Buchanan&#8217;s bail was set at $2 million, according to the news release.
Anyone with any information was urged to contact homicide detectives Shea Robertson or Travis Harris at 562-570-7244. Those who wish to send a tip anonymously can call L.A. Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
