Hancock Park murder leads police to arrest couple in Palmdale
Two Palmdale residents have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a man in what investigators believe involved a burglary in the Wilshire area, according to a release from the Los Angeles Police Department. On Wednesday afternoon, police responded to a call of a stabbing on the 100 block of North Rossmore Avenue in the Hancock Park neighborhood. They found Gary Nelson, 84, "suffering from severe lacerations," the release said. The Los Angeles Fire Department pronounced Nelson dead at the scene, officials said. The suspects were identified as 41-year-old Rolando Guardado and 45-year-old Madeline Fresia Rivas, who are currently being held without bail, the release said.

Los Angeles braces for weekend of 'No Kings' protests
Los Angeles and other major cities across the nation are girding for widespread demonstrations against the Trump administration Saturday as the federal government expands its aggressive immigration enforcement crackdown beyond Southern California. As President Trump prepares to celebrate his 79th birthday with an unprecedented military parade in the nation's capitol, many around the country will be gathering for "No Kings" demonstrations to voice their opposition to Trump administration policies. At least a dozen different groups are planning to protest in the Los Angeles area Saturday, following eight consecutive days of downtown demonstrations that have condemned federal operations aimed at chasing down and capturing undocumented immigrants at their jobs and on city streets. According to government officials, there are hundreds of Marines and National Guard troops in the area who will defend federal properties and immigrant enforcement operations. The federalized troops arrived in the area earlier in the week, after protests turned violent and left Waymo automomous cars burning and downtown properties smashed and covered with anti-Trump and Customs Enforcement graffiti. On Thursday, tensions between federal immigration officials and California politicians reached new heights when Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a Department of Homeland Security press conference where Sec. Kristi Noem was speaking. Addressing reporters after the news conference, Padilla called upon people to peacefully protest the Trump administration's actions. 'There is a lot of concern, there is a lot of tension, there is a lot of anxiety,' Padilla said. 'I encourage everybody to please peacefully protest, just like I was calmly and peacefully listening to that press conference and preparing, attempting to ask a question.' The raids have targeted Home Depots, churches, farms, retail centers and other locations. They have also stoked concerns among local officials that the operations are forcing immigrants to hide and will ultimately hurt the local economy. As immigration actions continue, Los Angeles Police Department officials have reported increasing success in quelling violence and property damage in the city's core, thanks in part to an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew imposed this week. The curfew, which has been imposed indefinitely, encompasses the downtown Civic Center, including City Hall, the main county criminal courthouse, LAPD headquarters and federal buildings. Times staff writers Nathan Solis, Andrea Castillo, Laura J. Nelson, Marie Sanford and Richard Winton contributed to this report.

Burglary suspect killed in heist believed to have been shot by accomplice
A burglary suspect who was shot and killed in a Lynwood home Thursday morning is believed to have been shot by an accomplice when they were startled by a resident, officials said. Deputies were called to the 11000 block of Linden Street after receiving a call of a burglary in progress, officials with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement. When deputies arrived, they found a man who had been shot and died at the scene. Homicide detectives say they believe the man was one of about five men who entered the home at 1:26 a.m. wearing dark clothing. Authorities said the men were surprised by a resident in the home and ran from the location, but one of them shot a firearm inside the house, striking one of the suspects. The identity of the deceased man was not released. The suspects were spotted running north on Linden Street, officials said.

Photographer captures Sen. Alex Padilla's takedown at Homeland Security press conference
Times photographer Luke Johnson captured the moment when authorities tackled and handcuffed Sen. Alex Padilla on Thursday when he interrupted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference in Los Angeles. Johnson's images document many of the key moments of an encounter that has sparked controversy amid President Trump's immigration crackdown. The senator was standing near a wall on one side of the room, then tried to interrupt Noem to ask a question. 'I'm Senator Alex Padilla,' he said, as one agent grabbed his jacket and shoved him backward on the chest and arm. 'I have questions for the secretary, because the fact of the matter is that half a dozen violent criminals that you're rotating on your — on your ...' 'Hands off!' Padilla said, as three agents pushed him into a separate room. Videos from the press conference show agents forcing Padilla to his knees and handcuffing him. The senator later held a press conference to describe what happened. 'I was forced to the ground, and I was handcuffed,' Padilla said. 'I was not arrested. I was not detained.' If this is how the Trump administration treats a 'senator with a question,' Padilla said, with tears in his eyes, 'I can only imagine what they're doing to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community.'
