A total of 135 homes in Ranchos Palos Verdes will have their gas shut off Monday due to an ongoing landslide. 

SoCalGas cites “worsening land movement” as the main reason why it is unsafe to continue providing natural gas service to the homes in the Portuguese Bend neighborhood. 

“We regret this unexpected disruption of service,” SoCalGas said Monday morning.  “This dynamic situation requires we take immediate action to protect public safety.” 

KTLA 5’s Annie Rose Ramos pointed out a large crack in the road on Narcissa Drive on Monday, where two signs had also completely shifted off the now-decayed roadway. 

In a community update issued Sunday, the city of Ranchos Palos Verdes confirmed the shutoff and noted that officials “repeatedly requested” SoCalGas to give residents more time to prepare, but as of the update being posted, the gas company said it was “unsafe to do so.” 

The shutoff starts at 9 a.m. Monday when the natural gas remaining in the community’s pipeline network will be removed.  Residents are advised by SoCalGas that they may smell natural gas during the process. 

On Tuesday, technicians will visit each of the 135 impacted homes to safely turn off the natural gas service at the meter. 

Residents are instructed not to attempt to restore service or connect alternative fuels like propane to the natural gas meter, as doing so is unsafe. 

A community outreach booth will be available at the corner of Fruit Tree Road and Narcissa Drive on Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Four people, including a 14-year-old boy, were hospitalized Sunday night after a drive-by shooting in South Los Angeles.  

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded to reports of a shooting near the intersection of 51^st Street and Avalon Boulevard just before 8 p.m. in the South Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, LAPD confirmed to KTLA.  

Police said four victims were crossing the street when an unknown number of suspects in a vehicle started firing at them with a handgun before fleeing the scene.  

Footage of the aftermath showed a heavy presence of police at the scene, along with a dozen evidence markers marking shell casings in the street. 

Three of the victims suffering from gunshot wounds were able to get to the hospital on their own, while the 14-year-old was rushed to the hospital by medical personnel with the Los Angeles Fire Department.  

All of the victims were listed in stable condition. 

The suspects, according to police, were only described as males.  

A motive for the shooting is unknown. No further details were made available.  

L.A.’s Very Own KTLA 5 helped the Los Angeles Police Department take a suspect into custody on Sunday. 

LAPD Central Bureau Assistant Commanding Operations Officer Lillian L. Carranza confirmed early Sunday afternoon that a suspect featured in a video published to the KTLA website, YouTube and social media pages was caught after an “alert citizen” recognized the man on the news and called police. 

The video in question depicted him kicking down the door of a home in L.A.’s Atwood neighborhood.

“After receiving the LAPD community crime alert and watching the [KTLA 5] morning news, a citizen called 911,” Carranza said on X.  “Officers quickly responded and arrested the suspect.” 

His name was not released, but he was described as a 44-year-old Hispanic man. The exact location of where he was arrested was also not disclosed.

The homeowner who provided the original video to KTLA says it depicted the eighth time the man had attempted to break into their residence and the first time he was able to make it inside. They were eventually able to chase him out of their home and call the police but remain understandably shaken.

The suspect connected to a series of hot prowl burglaries and connected sexual assault in East Hollywood and Silver Lake early Friday morning is still outstanding, Carranza said. 

Anyone in those neighborhoods who observes suspicious activity is urged to call 911.
