Carlos Victor Mestanza Cercado was one of seven men charged with breaking into a Brink’s big rig at a Grapevine truck stop and stealing around $100 million worth of gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and luxury watches in 2022. A month after charges were filed last year, authorities arrested Mestanza at an international airport in Panama, as he was on his way to Ecuador.

Nithya Raman Won City Hall But Is She Already Failing The First Test Of Leadership

THE BOTTOM LINE - Los Angeles voted for change, not another administration consumed by political confrontation while the city’s problems grow worse. Los Angeles did not elect Nithya Raman to become its protester-in-chief. Voters elected her to confront a city overwhelmed by homelessness, unaffordable housing, public safety concerns, deteriorating infrastructure, and a government struggling to regain public confidence.

Bass Lost Citywide, But Found a Stronghold on the Westside

LOS ANGELES - Karen Bass faced sustained criticism in Pacific Palisades after the January 2025 wildfire. When voters chose between Bass and Nithya Raman for mayor, however, early returns showed the neighborhood overwhelmingly preferred to keep the incumbent. Bass received an estimated 76% of the early Palisades vote. In neighboring Brentwood, she took nearly 70%. Those early Bass strongholds contrasted with Raman's citywide advantage, which surpassed 100,000 votes by Sunday afternoon.The contrast complicates any simple reading of Bass' defeat as a verdict delivered by the Palisades. She faced criticism for being outside the country when the fire began, but ABC7's precinct analysis found substantial support for her there. The estimates indicate a preference between candidates, not whether voters approved of her fire response.The Los Angeles Times' precinct map offers an early view of the contest, using ballots counted through 3 a.m. Nov. 4.A separate Vibrant LA analysis of county returns estimates Bass received approximately 3,945 votes in Pacific Palisades against Raman's 1,249. Brentwood gave Bass an estimated advantage of 4,177 votes.Those comfortable margins were smaller farther south. In Venice, Bass led 53.9% to 46.1%, a difference of about 738 votes. Mar Vista was almost evenly divided, with Bass ahead by

Santa Monica Moves Toward 30-Year Billboard Deal on Historic Promenade Building

SANTA MONICA - A long-vacant landmark on the Third Street Promenade could make money from advertising even without a full house of tenants. Santa Monica has advanced a digital billboard deal promising the city an initial minimum of $500,000 a year - and requiring two street trees to make way for a clearer view of the ads. The proposed 1,000-square-foot screen would wrap the historic Junipher Building at Santa Monica Boulevard. Clearing its sightline would require tree removals the city's Urban Forest Commission recommended denying.The council voted 5-1 on Oct. 27 to introduce the agreement ordinance on first reading, with Councilmember Lana Negrete opposed and Councilmember Ellis Raskin recused, according to the Santa Monica Daily Press ."Economic recovery and historic preservation shouldn't have to compete with each other," Negrete said, the Daily Press reported.The billboard proposed at 1355 Third Street Promenade , at Santa Monica Boulevard, would measure roughly 55 feet wide and 18 feet tall. If ultimately approved, it would become the eighth authorized display in the downtown digital display district.Its visibility depends in part on what happens across the intersection.Two Chinese flame trees on the north side of Santa Monica Boulevard, west of the Promenade, would obstruct the

LMU community organizes walkout in protest of Nolan Wells’ death

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, students and faculty joined together in a walkout to protest Nolan Wells’ death and promote awareness of the lack of prosecution in the case. Wells died on July 4, where his body was found off a Mississippi shore two days later. In late September, a Mississippi grand jury declined to bring any charges related to his death, but activists have questioned whether Wells was involved in a foul play incident that was not accidental. The grand jury's refusal to indict anyone in the case has sparked outrage in the Black community, with Black students at LMU and elsewhere suggesting that there was a miscarriage of justice in the case.
