Deputy ID’d Who Died In Baker Run | Jeep Launches Off Bridge | Protest Turns Violent: SoCal In Brief

SAN DIEGO, CA — As we head into the new work week, we’ve rounded up the stories you may have missed Saturday through Monday to prepare you for the week ahead.

But before we jump into Southern California’s top stories, residents should expect the Southland’s long period of record-breaking heat to ease this week with more seasonal weather for early spring, according to the National Weather Service.

“A cooling trend will begin on Monday, with near normal temperatures expected Tuesday through Thursday,” NWS Los Angeles forecasters wrote Sunday.

“Gusty onshore winds will affect the area at times, along with chances of light rain. Weak to moderate offshore winds with warming and drying will follow Friday and Saturday.”

In other news, a deputy died after suffering a medical emergency while participating in the Baker to Vegas relay race; a man died of an apparent drowning near a pier; two people were killed when a speeding Jeep launched off a bridge and landed in a river; and one person was killed when a three-vehicle crash sent one car careening into a cemetery.

Plus, large crowds participated in No Kings rallies across Southern California as part of a nationwide day of demonstrations against the Trump administration that organizers called the largest single-day pro-democracy turnout on record.

A record 94,000 people participated in 21 separate No Kings protests in San Diego County. Thousands of similar gatherings took place Saturday throughout country. In Los Angeles, police said 74 people were arrested for allegedly failing to disperse after the demonstration in downtown LA turned violent, with some protesters throwing chunks of concrete at federal officers and one spray-painting a death threat near the Metropolitan Detention Center.
