Hundreds of students at McNair Elementary School in Compton received a major surprise on Monday morning.

They were all treated to a new bicycle thanks to the Los Angeles Chargers and former Chargers linebacker and “America’s Got Talent” host Terry Crews.

This was all made possible by the Chargers’ impact fund Bikes for Kids giveaway.

Earlier this month, the students were asked to participate in an essay competition. They were told that only selected winners would receive a new bike, but that wasn’t the case.

At a special assembly, it was revealed that everyone at the school was going to get a brand-new shiny bike complete with a helmet. McNair Elementary ranges from TK to 6th grade.

“That bad news is I don’t have one more bike,” Bill Pollakov, co-founder of the Bikes for Kids Foundation told the students. “The good news is, everybody is going to be getting a bike!”

The surprising announcement was received with cheers and screams from the children.

Crews, along with other Chargers legends Marcellus Wiley, Antoine Cason, Kassim Osgood, and Mike Scifres, were also on hand to help distribute new bikes just in time for the holidays.

“This year’s event will mark the first time every student at a school, more than 400 children, will receive a bike,” a press release stated.

That wasn’t the only surprise.

There was also a special gift for a teacher the kids know as Mr. Bill.

Crews surprised Mr. Bill with two tickets to Super Bowl LIX, which takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana on Feb. 9, 2025.

In addition to McNair Elementary, the Chargers Impact Fund, Bikes for Kids Foundation and the Brady Hunter Foundation also donated 200 additional bikes to Para Los Niños, a charter school supporting families in Skid Row, Downtown Los Angeles, and East LA.

An Amber Alert was issued early Monday morning for help finding two children believed to have been abducted by a woman in California’s Tulare County.

Gage Morrellie, 5, and Paizlee Morrelli, 6, were taken from South Front Street and Avenue 48 in the city of Earlimart around 12:30 a.m., the California Highway Patrol posted on X.

Authorities are searching for 29-year-old suspect Makenzie Morrelli in connection with the abduction. The CHP did not specify her relationship to the children.

Makenzie Morrelli was last seen driving a dark blue Scion tC with California plate 6SQA269.

Makenzie Morrelli was described as standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a black hoodie and jeans.

Gage Morrelli is 3 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 45 pounds with blonde hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a red, tan and black flannel shirt and blue jeans.

Paizlee Morrelli is 3 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 50 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and tan pants with black hearts.

The Amber Alert was initially issued for Tulare Kern, Kings and Fresno Counties. Anyone who may see the vehicle or know the whereabouts of the woman and children was asked to dial 911.

Deputies and loved ones are asking for the community’s help in searching for an at-risk man who was last seen on Dec. 13 in El Monte.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department describes Derek Ceasar Elizondo as a 35-year-old Hispanic male who stands 5 feet and 8 inches tall and weighs about 175 lbs.

According to LASD, Elizondo, who is a resident of Los Angeles County, was last seen around 1:30 p.m. on Friday near the 10000 block of Railroad Street, wearing a black jacket, brown shirt, black pants and black shoes.
