$150K Camaro stolen from influencer during Southern California event
An influencer's celebration of her custom car being turned into a die-cast model quickly turned to panic as the vehicle that inspired it all – a custom $150,000 Chevy Camaro – was stolen at a local event. Autumn Spooner is an automotive influencer who flew in to SoCal to celebrate and promote the launch of a die-cast replica of her custom real-life Chevy Camaro ZL1. Her prized possession was stolen on Friday evening while it was being displayed in the parking lot at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, according to a spokesperson for Spooner. She had left it in the care of Jada Toys, a brand that was displaying the car as part of the launch, the spokesperson said. 'This was meant to be a milestone moment for Autumn, as her real-life ZL1 inspired the release of a die-cast replica,' the spokesperson added. 'Instead, it's become a nightmare…no formal agreement was signed transferring liability, and the situation has left her devastated and without answers.' Spooner herself posted a video to Instagram to clarify the situation, saying she was 'literally on the plane' to California when she received the gut-wrenching news. 'Basically, I transported it [to California] and got [to Costa Mesa] around 2 p.m.,' she said in the video, which was posted late Friday night. 'As I was boarding the plane, I got a call that my Camaro was stolen, which definitely was not the call I wanted to get.' Posts to Spooner's Instagram story allegedly show the car being driven eastbound on the 91 Freeway near the interchange with the 57 Freeway. The Camaro, which she had wrapped in purple, had been unwrapped and the license plate removed; however, according to Spooner, her Instagram handle was left on the car. A video previously posted by Spooner, who has more than half a million followers across her social media platforms, indicated that the die-cast model was part of Jada Toys' Pink Slips line, and the toy maker's website states that the car, a 1:24 scale model, becomes available for pre-order on Saturday afternoon. That said, the $25 model was already sold out by 7 a.m. Saturday. Spooner's Instagram bio states she is an Arizona resident who, in addition to the Camaro ZL1, also owns a BMW G80 M3 and a BMW E36 M3. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

'He had many dreams': Boca High School graduate dies in I-95 crash hours after ceremony
Just hours after celebrating his high school graduation, Hendry Aceituno Gudiño was one of the two people killed in a May 17 car crash on Interstate 95. Gudiño, an 18-year-old from Riviera Beach, was on his way home from a celebratory dinner with his girlfriend and her father at the time of the crash, a close friend said. He was a former student at Boca Raton High School. "That same day, Hendry graduated," family members wrote in a GoFundMe page created to cover funeral and relocation expenses. "An achievement he had worked hard for, with dedication and the deep desire to make his mother proud." They said it was supposed to be one of the happiest days of Gudiño's life. 'Three remarkable heroes': Trump honors PBSO motorcycle deputies killed in November crash According to the Florida Highway Patrol, at around 8:40 p.m. May 17, three people from Port St. Lucie were traveling north on I-95 in a 2002 Chevy Camaro. The driver, a 52-year-old man whose name has not yet been released, lost control of the vehicle near the Martin Highway exit, traveled across all northbound lanes and struck a guardrail in the median. He and Gudiño were pronounced dead at the scene. Gudiño's girlfriend, a 16-year-old, was sitting in the rear seat of the car. Paramedics drove her to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the crash report. Roberto Hurtado, a classmate and close friend of Gudiño, organized the GoFundMe page. He and Gudiño met shortly after Gudiño had arrived from his home country of Venezuela in 2023. They bonded over Gudiño's time spent in Ecuador, where Hurtado, who was a grade ahead of him, is from. "He became a brother to me," Hurtado said. "But life took him away from me." Gudiño dreamed of graduating for his mother, Anielka, and his late grandmother. "He had many, many dreams, many goals like everyone else," Hurtado said. But the first one was to have his own BMW. He'd tell his friends he was going to call it "Goldo's BMW." "El Goldo" was the nickname friends had lovingly called him, Hurtado said. "Hendry was a cheerful person, never short of laughter," Hurtado said. "Above all, he was a very loyal person, and whenever you needed to talk about a serious topic, he was there. He was a very mature person despite his age, and he didn't deserve for this to happen to him." Hurtado said it took Gudiño's family and friends almost four hours to receive confirmation of his death, and that they heard it not from police, but from the staff at the hospital where Gudiño's girlfriend was sent. Brightline: Railway cuts some rush hour routes without notice; some passengers upset Boca Raton High School Principal Dr. Suzanne King addressed parents and faculty in an email May 19. "It is with deep sadness that I share the news that one of our students has passed away unexpectedly over the weekend," King wrote. "On behalf of our school community, I will be reaching out to the student's family to express our heartfelt condolences and offer support." The email stated counselors and school psychologists would be available on campus for students and staff. "He will always live in our hearts," Hurtado said. "Even though he's not here physically, I know he's with us and we're trying our best to give him a good send-off. And, most of all, to never leave his mother alone since, here in the U.S., he only had her and us." Jasmine Fernández is a journalist covering Delray Beach and Boca Raton for The Palm Beach Post.
