Police are searching for a suspect who gunned down a man as he was walking with his family in Covina.
The incident happened on June 22 near the 1100 block of East Wanamaker Drive at around 9:35 p.m., according to the Covina Police Department.
The victim, identified only as a 28-year-old man, was walking with his wife and their three children — an 11-year-old girl and 9-year-old twin boys.
Suddenly, a male suspect approached them and began walking in between the victim and his wife, prompting a verbal altercation.
That’s when the suspect pulled out a gun from his waistband and fired two shots at the victim, police said.
The victim was struck in the chest and the gunman immediately fled the area.
Officers responded to the scene and performed life-saving measures on the man before he was rushed to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.
The circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting remain under investigation. A police sketch of the suspect was released in hopes someone may recognize him.
The gunman is described as a Hispanic male around 20-25 years old. He stands around 5 feet 5 inches tall and has a thin build.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Det. Preciado at 626-384-5622.
Anonymous tips can be provided to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at lacrimestoppers.org.
Consumers seemingly didn’t love McDonald’s McPlant, the company’s version of a plant-based burger.
During the Wall Street Journal’s Global Food Forum, Joe Erlinger, the president of McDonald’s USA, said that the meat-less burger “was not successful” in San Francisco and Dallas.
In 2021, the burger also appeared at other McDonald’s locations nationwide, including El Segundo and Manhattan Beach.
According to MarketWatch, restaurants in the Bay Area and Dallas-Fort Worth were selling 20 McPlants daily, fewer than the 40 to 60 they had expected.
“I don’t think the U.S. consumer is coming to McDonald’s looking for the McPlant or other plant-based proteins,” Erlinger said. He also shared that salads won’t return to menus nationwide either.
McDonald’s plant-based burger featured a patty made from ingredients like peas, rice, and potatoes, served on a sesame seed bun with tomato, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and American cheese.
The patty was co-developed with Beyond Meat.
The company has since ended its limited test run of the McPlant without disclosing any plans for a potential nationwide debut.
According to the Good Food Institute, a nonprofit that promotes alternatives to animal proteins, meat alternatives grew in popularity in the U.S. in 2019 and 2021, but their popularity lessened in 2022 and declined in 2023.
However, that’s not the case everywhere. McDonald’s international markets were apparently more welcoming of the plant-based option.
Though McPlant wasn’t a hit, Erlinger said that McDonald’s will continue investing heavily in its chicken products.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers player Steve Garvey speaks to KTLA’s John Fenoglio about running for the California Senate as a Republican in a blue state.
Garvey, who is vying for the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat, acknowledges his journey is an uphill battle that won’t be easy.
“I want to be the next senator from California,“ Garvey said. “I think I can make a difference. I knew that the disparity between registered Democrats and Republicans was significant, but I did start to hear from Independents and people who were undecided about the next election.”
Garvey, 75, grew up outside California but moved to the Golden State when he was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1968.
In a career that spanned nearly two decades, Garvey played with the Dodgers until 1982 before moving south to play with the San Diego Padres.
He does not have a career in elected office and his political involvement, until now, largely involved fundraising for other candidates, according to CalMatters.

As a political outsider, Garvey has focused on addressing violent crime, homelessness and “failing schools” while citing his personal inspirations as the Pope and Ronald Regan.
Garvey formerly voted for and supported Donald Trump in 2016.
When asked whether he would still support Trump for the 2024 presidential election, he replied, “If it was right now, I would vote for him. I think that he’s the most capable of the two candidates at this time. I actually feel sorry for President Biden at this point and we need somebody that’s clear of mind. Somebody that’s able to make quick decisions.”
Garvey is running against Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff from Burbank, who is leading in the polls and in fundraising.
“I am a Conservative and I’m willing to work with everyone for the good of the people,” Garvey said. “I am running for all the people and politicians are running for half the people. My opponents voted 97-98 percent down party lines. I made the pledge I would never vote 97-98 percent party lines because there’s bound to be situations and instances where we come together.”
The 2024 United States Senate elections in California will be held on Nov. 5.
