LA Robbery Victim Flips Script, Pursues Assailants to Fatal Crash
In a stunning turn of events in Culver City, California, a young man turned the tables on his assailants following a daring daylight robbery. It’s reported that the 21-year-old victim, who was robbed at gunpoint at a gas station, pursued the suspects in his vehicle, causing a fatal collision, according to a statement by local law enforcement.
The reported incident took place on a recent Saturday evening. The victim, driving a Mercedes-Benz SUV, gave chase to the suspects’ white sedan, eventually colliding with it. The impact forced the suspects’ car to crash into a light pole near Adams Boulevard and West View Street.
Responding to accident reports at approximately 5:28 p.m., police arrived at the scene to find one of the suspects, a man in his thirties, deceased as a result of injuries incurred in the crash. Other suspects managed to flee the scene, reportedly discharging a firearm at the victim during their escape.
“One of the suspects was found hiding in the backyard of a home by a K9 unit.”
This suspect was subsequently apprehended and taken into custody, while the victim, unharmed, remained at the scene and cooperated with the police investigation.
The incident is currently being treated as a potential homicide by the local police. It’s yet unconfirmed whether the victim was detained as part of this ongoing inquiry.
This occurrence comes amid rising crime rates in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) recent data reveals a 2.9% rise in violent crime and a 9.5% increase in robberies. Interim Los Angeles Police Chief Dominic Choi addressed the Board of Police Commissioners regarding these alarming figures, noting a significant 28.1% hike in homicides in comparison to the same period last year.
“73 homicides through March compared to only 57 homicides in the same period the previous year.”
The surge in crime has been attributed by some critics to the lenient criminal enforcement policies advocated by District Attorney George Gascón, funded in part by contributions from liberal billionaire George Soros.
Culver City, part of Los Angeles County with a population of around 40,000, is not typically a hotspot for such incidents. With an average home price of $1.3 million and the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment pegged at $3,239, it’s considered a rather affluent area.
With this shocking incident and the general rise in crime rates, it’s crucial for residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police.

An Arizona man has been charged with the murder of his childhood friend after the headless body of Alijah Bradley was discovered in the desert. The remains of the 24-year-old were found near Gila Bend, just days after his family had reported him missing.
Samuel Bush, 23, faces charges of second-degree intentional murder and concealing a body, with the charges being filed on September 4.
Bradley’s family was left puzzled over the motive behind the murder. A relative, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their confusion to local news outlets KPHO and KTVK, stating, “We honestly don’t know. He was Sam’s best friend. He was Sam’s only friend.”
The family had reported Bradley missing on August 15 after he failed to show up for work and his mother had not heard from him. Bush had initially told the family he was unaware of Bradley’s whereabouts.
Using GPS coordinates, Bradley’s car was tracked to a remote desert location. On August 19, police found both the car and Bradley’s remains.
Authorities revealed that Bradley’s body had been dismembered, and confirmed that all parts of his remains had been recovered. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment on a potential motive for the crime.
Bradley’s aunt, Melissa McNeal, shared her sorrow with ABC15, stating, “It’s devastating. He was just beginning his adulthood.” She added, “I don’t feel a relief or anything because – it doesn’t bring him back. It doesn’t fix anything.”
Bradley’s mother, who chose not to be named, committed herself to seeking justice for her son, saying, “I’m committing my life to obtaining justice for my son.”
Bradley was a Northern Arizona University graduate and had recently celebrated his birthday. A fundraising page set up for his family described him as being “known for his free spirit and wild soul.”

A California family experienced a terrifying ordeal during their Labor Day picnic when their 5-year-old son was attacked by a mountain lion. The incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Tapia Day Use Area of Malibu State Creek Park in Calabasas, as reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s family and several other adults and children were enjoying their time when the mountain lion suddenly grabbed the child by the head and began to run.
“Somebody screamed the baby’s name, and his dad started running,” the boy’s aunt recounted.
“The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go.”
The dramatic rescue unfolded in front of about 40 onlookers, some of whom noted that the mountain lion appeared completely unafraid during the attack.
Male mountain lions can weigh up to 150 pounds and measure up to 8 feet in length, making the father’s actions even more heroic.
The boy was promptly airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. He was released later that Sunday but had to return to the hospital on Monday due to complications involving his eyes.
Upon arrival at the scene, California State Park rangers and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officers found the mountain lion crouched in a tree near the picnic area.
The animal was deemed a threat to public safety and was euthanized by a ranger.
Wildlife officers collected evidence from the boy’s injuries, including DNA swabs from the bite marks, which were matched to the mountain lion.
“CDFW and State Park officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured,” the CDFW stated.

It’s nice to see a person act on his own behalf. Too many people today are afraid to stand up against crime and corruption. If all of our ancestors were Johnny Milktoasts and were afraid to protect themselves the human species would have been killed off. Today there are too many people who are afraid to fight for their own lives and freedom. It’s time for you to grow up and be responsible for your own self.

Why is ANYONE commenting on gun ownership? This incident doesn’t have anything to do with firearms! You have the right to defend yourself by any means possible, you know the cops won’t do it and the DA is a joke. The DA should be in prison for creating this problem! Commies should be exiled from the U.S.!
