On Tuesday there was a drive-by shooting in broad daylight at Brooks and Pacific in Venice. Initial reports state there were five shots from one vehicle towards another vehicle (the BMW in the photos) and no injuries from the gunfire. The shooter drove off and then wrecked his vehicle into the nearby the Westminster Senior Center. The 25-year-old man was killed in the high speed crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Los Angeles Fire Department.

"Most of the homeless encampment has been cleared from the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Many of the homeless have moved their tents from the Venice Beach Boardwalk to the beach.

"Welcome to the new Skid Row," can be heard from a man walking by.
