The person wanted in connection of a rape and attempted murder of a woman at the Venice Pier has been taken into custody on Saturday, just 2 days after the "Community Alert" bulletin was made public.

More looters have been arrested.



From a statement on the SMPD Facebook page:
"On Thursday September 17, 2020, officers from the Santa Monica Police Department served search warrants at two locations within the City of Los Angeles. The search warrants were related to looting activity during the civil unrest in Santa Monica on May 31, 2020. Officers monitored video footage from REI, located at 402 Santa Monica, and observed two individuals stealing items from the store. Officers were able to identify two subjects, Marques Miles and Misty Jones (both residents of Los Angeles) during the investigation. Officers obtained warrants to search the residences of both subjects and recovered approximately $2,500 worth of property stolen from REI. Both Milers and Jones were arrested and booked for Burglary (459 PC) and Burglary during State of Emergency (463 (a) PC). Bail was set at $50,000 each."

But it should not be forgotten, that the Santa Monica Police Department allowed the looting to happen, and the fact that the Santa Monica Police Chief and several city council members blatantly lied about what happened.

If you watched our Instagram Stories last weekend, you probally remember we had footage of a large dude unconscious laying on the Venice Boardwalk. Well, we found the video of what happened. According to the video shot by Winning Circle84, this rather large Vato was in a fight with his co-worker and got the knocked out with a knee to the face .

Two videos from LOUDLABS NEWS capturing the fight and shooting that happened around 1 a.m. Wednesday outside the Cabo Cantina. the second veideo shows the aftermath and police investigating.

"It was reported that about three suspects ran from a shooting scene next to the Cabo Cantina. One person was shot and transported to a local hospital by LAFD paramedics. The three suspects are believed to have left the scene on foot and possibly jumped into a red Jeep. No further information available at this time. LAPD is handling the investigation."

Investigators tracked down one suspect who was arrested the next day in the city of Norwalk, where officers served a search warrant and found the handgun believed to have been used in the shooting, police said.

Police are asking for the public’s help finding the two other people involved in the fight.

Anyone with information or video footage of the incident is urged to call LAPD Detective Angel Gomez at 310-482-6370. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-847.

There's a tropical Storm entering the SoCal swell window and expected to strengthen slightly as it continues to move through it. Tropical storm Lowell is about 450 miles to the south-southwest of Southern Baja right now. The shorter-period south-southeast shifting south swell is expected to arrive by Thursday and potentially last into the upcoming weekend, but not expected to bump size all that much.
