    LOS ANGELES (KCAL, KCBS) — A double stabbing in Sunland on Friday morning left a grandfather and his 10-year-old granddaughter with injuries, according to authorities.

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded around 7:43 a.m. to the 10300 block of Eldora Avenue.

The Los Angeles Fire Department reported taking an elderly man and a young girl to the hospital in stable condition, suffering from stab wounds.

Police have identified a 31-year-old suspect, whose family lives in the neighborhood, and he is believed to live with his family off and on.

Mike Agajanyan, a neighbor, said the grandfather and his granddaughter were going to school in the morning when the stabbings occurred. He said the suspect took their car after stabbing them and fled. “We’re just waiting, hopefully they survive,” Agajanyan said.

The suspect’s father says he suffers from addiction and mental health issues.

Police said they located the vehicle the suspect fled in about one mile away, on McVine Avenue.

ICE Ace of Spades “death cards” form rallying cry for Colorado immigration nonprofit: “Comes from a place of evil”

    COLORADO (KCNC) — A nonprofit immigration support organization that first alerted CBS Colorado to custom playing cards left behind by ICE agents is applauding the move by members of Colorado’s Democratic congressional delegation to call for an independent federal investigation.

Voces Unidas said the custom Ace of Spades cards left on vehicles belonging to people detained in Eagle County earlier in the year carried ties to white supremacist symbolism. The Glenwood Springs–based advocacy group argued the cards sparked broader concerns about enforcement tactics and discrimination.

ICE acknowledged the incident and said it launched an internal review.

“ICE is investigating this situation, but unequivocally condemns this type of action and/or officer conduct. Once notified, ICE supervisors acted swiftly to address the issue. The ICE Office of Professional Responsibility will conduct a thorough investigation and will take appropriate and swift action.”

The statement added that under federal leadership, the agency maintained high professional standards while arresting and removing “dangerous criminal illegal aliens” and said Americans could be proud of officers’ professionalism.

Voces Unidas said two families found separate cards left on the detained family members’ cars.

“We opened two cases of civil rights violations,” said Alex Sanchez, the organization’s president and CEO.

Sanchez argued the imagery carried historical symbolism used to dehumanize communities and called for outside accountability rather than an internal investigation.

“We do not believe that law enforcement can investigate themselves,” he said. “We have called on elected officials to demand an independent investigation by an inspector general.”

That call was echoed by Democratic lawmakers from Colorado, including Sen. John Hickenlooper, who signed a letter urging the Department of Homeland Security leadership to authorize an independent review.

Sanchez said the questions extended beyond symbolism and on to something more systematic in DHS.

“We want to know why this is happening,” he said. “Is this a policy of the department? Is this rogue agents? And what is the Department of Homeland Security going to do to prevent hate symbolism from being embedded into law enforcement?”

Sanchez said the involvement of lawmakers demonstrated the controversy had moved beyond a local dispute, though he emphasized the issue should not be partisan.

“This should not be a Republican or Democrat issue,” he said. “This is about values. This is about what’s right and wrong. We have to remind ourselves that law enforcement works for the people and it needs to protect all of its people. It cannot discriminate. It cannot use, you know, white extremist ideology as a value.”

The Department of Homeland Security has not indicated when the review will be completed.

Bay Area streetwear label Nostalgia featured by NFL Origins collection

    San Francisco (KPIX) — Jaden Yo-Eco has come a long way since selling T-shirts out of the trunk of his car in 2017.

Now, the Bay Area fashion designer is reviewing final looks for the opportunity of a lifetime: a collaboration between his clothing brand, Nostalgia, and the NFL, ahead of Super Bowl LX.

Yo-Eco and Nostalgia co-founder Humbert Lee said they were initially stunned when the NFL reached out about partnering on its exclusive Origins collection.

“Humbert just called me and was like, ‘Yo, the NFL wants to collab with us,'” Yo-Eco said. “I thought he was just joking, but it became a real thing because they started sending over contracts, PDFs of what we can and can’t do. And I was like, damn, this is for real – it’s really happening.”

The NFL Origins collection highlights local brands with deep cultural ties to their communities. Only three brands were selected, a milestone Lee said validated the risks he and Yo-Eco took in choosing a nontraditional career path.

“Asian immigrants that are here, they want their children to go to college and be lawyers and doctors and stuff,” Lee said. “But we kind of took a different route.”

For Yo-Eco, that route was not always easy to embrace. Encouraged by his family to pursue a more traditional career in medicine, he initially put his creative ambitions on hold. That changed after his brother-in-law urged him to take a chance on his passion for fashion.

“I think for a lot of us Asian Americans, we’re scared to take certain risks because we don’t want to be looked at in a crazy way from our family and our friends,” Yo-Eco said. “So for us to be able to take on that chance, honestly, I feel like we even inspired a lot of people to do the same.”

Despite their growing national recognition, Yo-Eco and Lee said Nostalgia remains firmly rooted in its origins. The brand’s designs draw directly from their Asian heritage and Bay Area upbringing, blending cultural symbols and vintage looks with modern streetwear aesthetics.

“It proves to ourselves that we are on the right track,” Yo-Eco said. “And if we keep going, there’s going to be big things up ahead.”

Select pieces from the NFL Origins collection will be available for purchase online through the NFL Shop.

Felony suspect escapes hospital by crawling through ceiling, caught hiding in hot tub

    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) reports that a suspect in custody on felony charges escaped by breaking through a restroom ceiling while being seen at a local hospital around 4:48 p.m. on Feb. 3.

According to court documents, Seann Patrick Siegfried was taken to Penrose Main Hospital for medical clearance. Police say that while waiting for Siegfried to use the restroom, another patient told them a man entered her room by crawling out of the ceiling before running.

After escaping the hospital, Siegfried then made his way across the street to Jason Pachon’s home, according to police.

Pachon tells KRDO13 that living next to a hospital has led to some strange encounters, but this was a first.

“I came over here to the pantry to grab some stuff, and I just look over and I have a shot of like, half my yard. I just watch this guy. I’m like, staring at him the whole time, just walk over here and then sit down,” says Pachon.

According to Pachon, he could tell that something was up.

“Just the way he was running, I could tell he was running from something,” says Pachon. “You can tell he looked dirty. He was wearing a t-shirt, jeans. I think he picked that stairwell because he sat there and have a fence that blocks it. So he was like ducking behind the fence. I’m guessing from the wind and from sight.”

After Siegfried ran off, Pachon says he spotted police activity searching for someone in the area.

“Are you guys looking for someone? I’m like, black shirt, black pants, shaggy hair. I think was like five, five, nine. And they’re like, yeah. And I’m like, ran this way.”

According to police, Siegfried had run south from the hospital. Police say after a containment area was established, another community member called to report that the suspect had broken into her backyard and was hiding in her covered hot tub.

Police say he peacefully surrendered with the assistance of K9.

The hospital confirmed to KRDO13 that Siegfried caused $6,000 worth of damage during his escape.

New Mexico bill targets cartel drone activity with support from Mexico

    ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KOAT) — The Secretary of Public Safety for the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, Gilberto Loya Chavez and leaders of the New Mexico Organized Crime Commission urged support for Senate Bill 136. The bill would make crack down on illicit cartel drone activity along the border.

“We’re having thousands of incursions and thousands of illegal flights in New Mexico, that we’re monitoring law enforcement, trying to find protected information being used in the furtherance of drug trafficking and human trafficking,” said Rob Hart of the Organized Crime Commission.

The New Mexico Organized Crime Commission released a video Thursday showing a cartel-operated drone tracking a Mexican law enforcement convoy in Chihuahua, Mexico, and dropping an explosive device that seriously injured officers.

“We know these drones have been used specifically to attack human beings. That’s on that side of the border, on this side of the border. We know drones are absolutely being used to do surveillance,” said Sam Bregman, the Bernallilo County district attorney.

Cartels are also using drones to smuggle drugs into New Mexico, and currently, there are no state laws addressing drones being used criminally.

Bregman emphasized the urgency of the situation, saying, “So this needs to be addressed. And I can’t tell you that this is really one of those urgent things that we need to get done.”

The bill still has to make its way through the Senate to reach the governor’s desk. We reached out to Senate Republicans but they had no comment about the bill.

Arkansas Supreme Court says no new trial for woman convicted of killing Officer Kevin Apple

    PEA RIDGE, Ark. (KHBS, KHOG) — The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the woman convicted of killing Pea Ridge police officer Kevin Apple won’t get a new trial.

Shawna Cash ran over and killed Apple in 2021. A jury found her guilty of capital murder and sentenced her to life in prison.

Apple was a 23-year veteran of the force. People who knew him have described his sense of humor and the way he spent his life helping people across the community.

Cash’s attorneys filed an appeal claiming the judge in the case admitted two pieces of evidence he shouldn’t have and improperly allowed a prosecutor’s remarks during closing arguments.

An appeals court ruled against Cash. The Arkansas Supreme Court’s opinion agreed with the appeals court.

40/29 News reached out to one of Cash’s attorneys, who said they have no comment on the ruling.

Jail phone call During the trial, prosecutors played a recording of a phone call between Cash and an unidentified person made while Cash was in jail.

Cash described her conversation with one of her attorneys about how she was facing a charge of murder instead of manslaughter. She told the person she was talking with that she was high when she hit Apple.

The Supreme Court ruled that because Cash’s attorneys had asked for that part of the conversation to be played for the jury, she could not complain of it now.

Closing argument In the prosecutor’s closing arguments of the trial, they said that “fleeing from the police is not only a sport for her; it’s a way of life.”

Cash’s appeal argued that it is against trial rules for prosecutors to use prior bad acts in that manner.

The Supreme Court ruled that the prosecutor’s remark was allowed because they had used evidence during the trial of multiple past times Cash fled from police. They had done so to demonstrate she had intended to flee and had deliberately killed Apple.

Stolen key fob During the trial, the judge allowed prosecutors to admit evidence that Cash was once in the passenger seat of a car when the driver tried to run over a woman.

The Supreme Court agreed with the appeal that the judge shouldn’t have allowed that evidence because it wasn’t independently relevant to the case.

However, it found that the judge’s error was harmless and wouldn’t have changed the jury’s verdict.

Owner of car swallowed by sinkhole during water main break demands another vehicle from city of NOLA

    NEW ORLEANS (WDSU) — A woman is trying to bounce back after she said her car was totaled when it fell into a sinkhole after a 48 inch watermain break in Uptown.

The impacts caused nearly an entire street to flood, and also led to a boil water advisory to go into effect.

That’s all been resolved, but now the driver said she is trying to get back on track.

Jade Hart said she was on a cruise when she found out her car had fallen into a sinkhole.

The mother of two is now scrambling to get help.

“We were covered past the engine. The inside of the cabin of the car is wet so, the car is totaled,” Hart said.

Hart said she is at a standstill without her car since she used it to get to work and to get her kids to and from school.

Over the weekend, she was brought to tears when she saw videos of her car inside a sinkhole along Panola Street.

“It was an unimaginable feeling, knowing I did not have a car to come back home to. I do not have a car to take care of my family. I don’t have a car to take care of my responsibilities,” Hart said.

Her mother shares that sentiment.

“I feel as though they could even provide her with a rental car since it was not her fault,” said her mother, Jaqueline Hart.

Hart is now in limbo with her insurance company and the city, which asked that she get at least three repair estimates or pay for damages out of pocket for possible reimbursement.

“Pay for estimates. Three different estimates, if not that, I would have to provide a paid invoice, which means I fix a car with my own money,” Hart said.

WDSU put Hart in contact with the head of Public Works, Steve Nelson, who said he will assist with getting to the bottom of the situation.

The mother is hoping for a resolution soon for her family.

“I just want what’s owed to me, what was taken from me. It’s the city of New Orleans fault. It was not my fault. I want what is owed to me, which is another vehicle, so I can take care of my family,” Hart said.

WDSU also reached out directly to the Sewerage and Waterboard of New Orleans. They said they are in the process of reviewing Hart’s claim.

Norman aims to retain high-income families with new entertainment district

    NORMAN, Okla. (KOCO) — Norman city leaders are proposing a billion-dollar entertainment district to address the decline in high-income families, as recent U.S. Census data shows a significant drop in such households.

Lawrence McKinney, CEO of the Cleveland County Economic Development Coalition, highlighted the decrease from about 5,300 high-income families to 3,600 between 2020 and 2024.

“We dropped from about 5,300 high-income families to 3,600,” McKinney said. “What jumps out is that we’re the fourth worst in the country in terms of our drop.”

County leaders believe the new entertainment district could help reverse this trend by attracting higher-paying jobs.

McKinney explained that while Oklahoma cities are interested in retail sales, retail jobs do not pay as well as wealth-producing primary jobs. The new district is seen as an opportunity to bring in higher-paying jobs.

“Cities in Oklahoma are very interested in retail sales, so we attract a lot of retailers. But retail jobs don’t pay as well as wealth-producing jobs, primary jobs, and we’re focused on primary jobs, and this is an opportunity with the new entertainment district to bring higher-paying jobs in,” McKinney said.

The State Supreme Court has approved the construction of the Rock Creek Entertainment District after a lengthy legal battle.

The county anticipates that the district will create approximately 1,800 jobs, including construction jobs, and attract workforce talent, particularly in the 25-44 age group.

“There’s about 1,800 jobs that come with this, including some construction jobs. But what it does is attract talent. And we’re focused on workforce talent, that 25-44 year old age group, and if there’s nothing to do in the community, they don’t stay here,” McKinney said.

The Rock Creek Entertainment District is expected to be completed by 2029.
