Disturbance involving 200 juveniles forces Carson shopping mall to close
A major disturbance involving hundreds of juveniles forced a busy shopping mall in Carson to close Saturday night.
Authorities received reports of the large gathering at the SouthBay Pavilion Mall at around 5:20 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
During the gathering, a trash can was lit on fire and illegal fireworks were set off inside a store at the mall, deputies said.
Dispersal orders were given to the teens but they reportedly refused to comply. More law enforcement backup was called to the scene as the teens were disrupting business and endangering shoppers, officials said.

“Some kids had started a fire in the trash cans, so they had detained over 100 kids,” said witness Jamila Buie.
Around 60 to 70 juveniles were reportedly detained. It’s unclear what prompted the gathering.
Photos from the scene showed a large law enforcement presence surrounding the mall as the teen suspects were handcuffed.
Authorities spent around five hours detaining the suspects involved.
“Deputies detained multiple juveniles who were issued citations in relation to the incident and will be required to appear in court at a future date,” LASD said.
No injuries or thefts of retail shops were reported during the incident.
An investigation is underway after a bicyclist was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Long Beach.
On July 6, Long Beach police responded to a crash near Cowles Street and Santa Fe Avenue just after 2:30 a.m.
Officers found the victim, a man in his 50s, lying unresponsive on the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver who struck him fled the area before officers arrived.
A preliminary investigation indicated the bicyclist was riding westbound on Cowles Street when he was struck by an unknown vehicle that turned onto Cowles from Santa Fe Avenue.
The victim’s name is being withheld pending positive identification by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
No further details, including a suspect or vehicle description, were released.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information on the incident is urged to call the Long Beach Police Department’s Collision Investigation Detail at 562-570-7355.

Rock ‘n’ roll changed forever 50 years ago when the Ramones released their self-titled debut LP, blasting radio airwaves with songs like “Blitzkrieg Bop” and “Beat on the Brat.”
Now, to celebrate the anniversary, several of punk’s modern legends will come together for a special tribute concert in Los Angeles to support cancer research.
Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and former Ramones bassist C.J. Ramone will perform as Cretin Family on Aug. 30 at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
The concert is part of a tribute hosted by John Travolta that also includes a double-feature screening of Carrie (1976) and Travolta’s new film, Propeller One-Way Night Coach. Proceeds will benefit cancer research at the Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine.
“The spirit of the Ramones is alive in every backyard punk show, punk club and festival,” Billie Joe Armstrong said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Generation after generation of cretins and weirdos become Ramones lovers. Kids are influenced by the Ramones and they don’t even know it yet. ¡Viva Ramones!”
The Ramones, Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy, formed in New York City in the mid-1970s and are widely regarded as the main pioneers of the early punk rock movement. Their high-speed tempos, stripped-down production and short, catchy anthems arrived at a time when pop music was dominated by disco and bloated progressive rock acts.
They performed their final show in 1996 after achieving only limited commercial success, but their impact remains indelible.
Joey Ramone died in 2001, Dee Dee Ramone in 2002, Johnny Ramone in 2004, and Tommy Ramone in 2014. C.J. Ramone joined the band in 1989 and remained with them until they disbanded. Dee Dee is interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which also features a bronze statue of Johnny Ramone.
Tickets for the tribute went on sale Tuesday.
