LAPD seizes $4M in fentanyl, enough dosage to potentially kill entire population of Los Angeles
Los Angeles police made a major drug bust this week, seizing enough fentanyl to potentially kill every resident of the city.
The bust resulted during a narcotics investigation near downtown Los Angeles that involved multiple Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) divisions.
The LAPD arrested 28-year-old Jose Alberto Soto on a charge of sales of fentanyl, a dangerous synthetic opioid.

An investigation led to police executing a search warrant in the 7500 block of Central Avenue in South Los Angeles, where officers found more than 50 pounds of powdered fentanyl and nearly nine pounds of black tar heroin, plus $14,500 in U.S. currency.
That amount represents around $4 million in street value, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Authorities say 2 mg is enough for a potentially lethal dose. With that in mind, the amount of fentanyl seized this week is enough to potentially kill more than 11 million people, nearly three times the population of Los Angeles.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Though it is used for legitimate purposes to help trauma victims being treated in hospitals, illicit use has proliferated in the last decade.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says there were nearly 75,000 overdose deaths from fentanyl last year. More than 150 people die every day from overdoses related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

DENVER, Colo. (May 16, 2026) – The Orlando Pride (3-5-2, 11 points) were defeated by Denver Summit FC (3-3-3, 12 points) via a 3-1 scoreline in the Club’s first-ever visit to DICK’S Sporting Goods Park on Saturday night.
Denver opened the scoring early when Eva Gaetino crashed in at the far post to finish off a corner kick in the 10th minute of play. The home side doubled its advantage in the 54th minute via a Janine Sonis penalty kick.
Orlando was reduced to 10 players in the 63rd minute after Angelina received a direct red card. Despite their numerical advantage, the visitors pulled a goal back in the 76th minute when Barbra Banda broke through on goal from Haley McCutcheon’s pass and slotted home her league-leading ninth goal of the season.
The Summit responded just a minute later as Sonis tallied her second of the night after capitalizing on a rebound inside the Pride’s box, effectively putting the game out of reach.
The Pride will complete their three-game road trip with a visit to San Diego Wave FC at Snapdragon Stadium on Sunday, May 24 (7 p.m. ET; Victory+).
Head Coach Seb Hines:
“Frustrating. I sound like a broken record right now. Disappointed with the goal that we conceded, a set piece. We struggled with the way Denver were playing out from the back, playing through the lines. We made some good adjustments at halftime. I thought we started the second half really well. The sending off changes the whole game, but I won’t talk about that. And yeah, we were just battling until the end. There were obviously some gaps that started opening. We put ourselves in a really good position at 2-1 with a lot of time left and then let ourselves down with the third goal. We’ll analyze it and move on. We’ve been on the road now for about a week. It’s not gone our way—we’ve got to bounce back, show some resilience and come out stronger against San Diego.”
The Pride will complete their three-game road trip with a visit to San Diego Wave FC at Snapdragon Stadium on Sunday, May 24 (7 p.m. ET; Victory+).
