Children and teens can enjoy a free lunch this summer at more than 90 parks across Los Angeles.

The annual Summer Food Service Program is sponsored by the city’s Department of Recreation and Parks.

From June 12 to July 31, anyone under 18 years old can grab a free lunch at a participating local park.

Menu offerings may include fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, salads, deli sandwiches and other nutritious meal options.

City officials said the program helps to ensure that children and teens continue to have access to healthy meals while school is out for the summer.

No application or proof of income is needed. Adults and guardians can simply bring their child to a participating location to receive food.

Meals must be consumed onsite and are available at no cost. Serving times will vary by location but typically range between 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

“Summer should be a time for children to learn, play and create lasting memories, not worry about where their next meal will come from,” said Jimmy Kim, General Manager of the Department of Recreation and Parks. “Through our partnership with LAUSD, we are proud to provide free, nutritious meals in safe and welcoming park environments where young people can stay active, connect with their communities and thrive throughout the summer.”

The public can also call 818-346-2700 or text “Summer Meals” to 97779 for a list of parks. Flyer information in Spanish can be found here.

A resident was assaulted after two armed suspects forced their way into a home in Los Angeles’ Fairfax District early Saturday morning, police said.

The home invasion robbery was reported around 4:32 a.m. in the 800 block of North Detroit Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Police said two suspects, both described as adult males, entered the property while armed with handguns.

The resident was assaulted during the confrontation, though authorities did not immediately release information about the victim’s injuries.

Investigators said the suspects stole jewelry and cell phones before fleeing the area in an unknown vehicle.

Video from the scene showed LAPD officers investigating outside a modern residential property as daylight broke Saturday morning. Several patrol vehicles were parked nearby while officers canvassed the area.

No arrests had been announced as of Saturday afternoon.

Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to contact the LAPD.

Loved ones are devastated after a woman and a man were found shot to death at a Pomona apartment complex and the woman’s boyfriend was arrested after leading officers on a dangerous pursuit.

On Friday, friends and family gathered outside the Pomona apartment complex where Veronica Lopez, 24, and Richard Brady, 48, were found fatally shot.

On June 18, Pomona police were called to the Monterey Station Apartments at 180 E. Monterey Ave. just before 3:30 p.m. on reports of a shooting.

Officers made their way up to a fourth-floor apartment hallway where they found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

Despite life-saving measures, both were pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect and Veronica’s boyfriend, Robert Galtman, 48, had fled the scene in a Kia sedan.

Around 5 p.m., California Highway Patrol officers spotted his vehicle on the freeway and he led them on a high-speed, hour-long chase before officers successfully performed a PIT maneuver that disabled his vehicle. He surrendered and was taken into custody. 

Friends and family members are devastated over the victims’ deaths and have so many unanswered questions.

“I don’t understand,” said Sheila Lopez, Veronica’s mother. “She didn’t deserve this.”

Sheila had spoken to her daughter just hours before the deadly shooting. She told her daughter she would call her later after work, but when she did, her daughter never answered the phone.

Her family later learned that Veronica had been shot and killed and that her boyfriend of several years, Galtman, was under arrest.  

Lopez’s family said that Veronica was in an abusive relationship and they believe she was trying to leave her boyfriend when she was killed. They had also previously urged her to leave.

“I believe she was walking away,” Sheila told KTLA’s Lindsey Pena. “I think she should’ve just walked away. This is why this all happened.”

They also believe the other victim, Brady, was likely just trying to help her. Brady’s close friend and the mother of his child, Heather Cantu, agreed, saying helping others in a situation like that is something he would’ve done.

“I just think that if she was in an abusive relationship, that’s what he was doing,” Cantu said.

His brother told The Daily Bulletin that he was aware of Veronica’s abusive relationship.

“My brother helped her out of that situation,” he told the outlet. “They became friends. My brother stuck up for those who couldn’t stick up for themselves. Unfortunately, he walked into a situation out of his control.”

Cantu described him as a loving father to two children and a kind man and who will be greatly missed. 

“We’ll all remember how happy he made everybody,” Cantu said. “He was a jokester. He was always happy and he always tried to make everybody else feel good.”

On Friday night, loved ones gathered at a growing memorial outside the Pomona apartment complex where the victims and the suspect all lived.

Sheila said Veronica was the youngest of her five daughters, who always lit up a room and brought joy to those around her.

“She’s definitely someone to miss,” Sheila said. “She’s a great skateboarder. She loves to go to games and she loves her family.”

In a GoFundMe page, loved ones said Veronica “had a way of making everyone around her feel loved and valued. The pain of losing her is unimaginable, and our hearts are broken.”

Galtman remains in custody on $3.1 million bail.
