Officials in Los Angeles County are offering a $10,000 reward in exchange for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for a cold case double homicide that happened more than 23 years ago.  

The violence unfolded on Aug. 27, 2001, as the victims, 27-year-old Nakeysha Eddings and 29-year-old Devin Questel were walking to a family member’s home nearby just after 1:30 a.m., according to a news release from the L.A. County Board of Supervisors.  

Details are extremely limited and it’s unclear how the shooting occurred, but authorities say Eddings and Questel were found on Inglewood Boulevard between West Hillsdale Street and Centinela Avenue suffering from fatal gunshot wounds.  

While the county’s news release did not specify the victims’ relationship, a family member of Eddings told KTLA in an email that the pair were girlfriend and boyfriend.  

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to contact Sgt. Juan Torres, Homicide-Officer-In Charge, Detective Bureau at the Inglewood Police Department at 310-412-8687 and refer to report #01-2390018.  

Those wishing to remain anonymous can contact the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-222-8477 or leave tips online at www.lacrimestoppers.com.  

A suspect wanted for allegedly driving under the influence Monday night is in custody after a short police pursuit.

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department were chasing the suspect, reportedly behind the wheel of a white Dodge Durango, in southbound lanes of the 5 Freeway in the area of Silver Lake before he transitioned onto the 2 Freeway and exited onto surface streets.

The driver was clocked at speeds in excess of 80 miles per hour as police pursued him.

Near the intersection of De Garmo Avenue and Lanark Street, the suspect came to a stop, exited the vehicle and attempted to flee in the neighborhood.

He was taken into custody after a short search.

Sky5 was overhead.

Many residents in the San Jacinto Mountain community of Reche Canyon are pushing back against San Bernardino County’s plan to remove a portion of the areas famous and beloved wild burro population.  

Nearly 70 of the wild animals have already been rounded up after the county’s contract with Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue, a Texas-based organization, went into effect on Dec. 1.  

“We really embrace them as a part of our community,” Reche Canyon resident Brandi Augenstein told KTLA’s Shelby Nelson. “It’s kind of fun sometime to watch them from your porch, just watch the donkeys roll through.”  

Donkey watching in Reche Canyon is something that many residents and visitors cherish.  

“They’re part of the wildlife,” Augenstein added. “That’s part of living in a rural area, being able to surround yourself with nature’s beauty. I don’t believe removal is the answer. We have hundreds of thousands of acres back here in Reche Canyon.”  

In recent years, though, the donkey population has caused some problems, such as car accidents and traffic backups in the heavily traveled canyon.  

“People will pull over, they’ll feed and try to interact with the donkeys,” Robert Kochis who lives in the area told KTLA. “You don’t want to do that. Because of that, they get used to coming up to cars expecting food.”  

What some residents are arguing for is proper county enforcement where the burro population is concerned and say the animals provide the much needed service of feeding on the brush and keeping it under control.  

“If this brush keeps growing and drying out, this is going to be a real handful for firefighters,” Kochis added. “Without them, it’s not really the same canyon.”  

The area is also home to DonkeyLand, one of the nation’s largest facilities for wild burros founded by the late Bob Barker of “Price is Right” fame.  

Officials at DonkeyLand released a lengthy statement about the issue, saying the county notified them of the donkey removal only after they started rounding them up.  

“Unfortunately, all our efforts to help the wild burros stay in the area they have called home for the past 75 years wasn’t successful enough for the County of San Bernardino,” the statement read in part.  

As for the 68 wild burros already captured by officials, they are currently being held on county lands and are likely awaiting shipment to Texas.
