Email from Los Angeles Police Protective League Daily News & Updates Law Enforcement News L.A. protester, 40, wanted by FBI for assault on federal officer identified Investigators have identified a man placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list after he reportedly assaulted a federal officer during protests that turned violent Saturday in Los Angeles County. Federal officials allege 40-year-old Compton resident Elpidio Reyna “injured a federal officer” and damaged government property while throwing rocks at law enforcement at around 3:30 p.m. in the 6400 block of Alondra Boulevard in Paramount on June 7. Protesting an ICE raid that occurred in the city, the demonstrations grew violent as the afternoon wore on. “As deputies arrived, it appeared that federal law enforcement officers were in the area, and that members of the public were gathering to protest,” LASD said. Authorities did not provide any information on the extent of the officer’s injuries, nor did they say how much damage was caused to federal vehicles. KTLA 5 LA prosecutors to start combing through social media to catch violent protesters The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has a message for protesters who assaulted officers and vandalized public property: We will find you. A team of experienced prosecutors will begin analyzing police arrest reports, starting Tuesday, District Attorney Nathan Hochman told NBC Los Angeles. “You want to put officers’ lives in danger, damage public property, we are going to hold you accountable,” the district attorney said. The investigation will involve coming through Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok as many violent protesters tend to show off their crime on social media. “You have the ability to tack down some of those who committed those crimes,” Hochman said. “We can track these posts down to a real person. It might take us a while, but we will get there.” Hochman said while those who destroyed, looted or vandalized presented a minority of the thousands of who peacefully protested, many of the criminals may believe consequences will be mild. “People might believe that the DA would give you a slap on the wrist,” Hochman warned. “I don’t want anyone coming back saying, I didn’t know this was coming, because it will.” NBC 4 A tamer night in downtown Los Angeles as LAPD makes more arrests, enforces curfew After days of immigration protests, downtown L.A.’s first night under curfew ended Wednesday morning with dozens of arrests, but less destruction and fewer clashes between protesters and authorities. The curfew went into effect at 8 p.m. Tuesday and lifted at 6 a.m. the following day. The Los Angeles Police Department reported that at least 25 people were arrested for violating the curfew in its first hours. The curfew encompasses the downtown civic center, including City Hall, the main county criminal courthouse, LAPD headquarters and federal buildings that have been the target of protests leading to property damage and hundreds of arrests. Shortly before the curfew went into effect, Mayor Karen Bass and faith leaders marched to the federal building on Los Angeles Street, walking through an area that had for days been covered in shattered glass, graffiti and spent police munitions. Bass said that she expects the curfew to remain in place for several days and will consult with law enforcement and elected leaders before lifting it. She said it was necessary to curb the actions of “bad actors who do not support the immigrant community.” Although no demonstrators were arrested by local law enforcement during initial confrontations with federal immigration authorities on Friday, tensions escalated over the course of the weekend, leading to larger gatherings punctuated by episodes of violence, theft, graffiti, and property destruction. Los Angeles Times Undocumented immigrant allegedly threw Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during protest On Wednesday morning, federal officials identified the man accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during an anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest over the weekend. Video released by the Department of Homeland Security shows the moments before a suspect threw the crude bomb at law enforcement. The video begins by showing a masked man in dark clothing with a lighter hiding behind a tree. As the suspect walked between the tree and a crowd, he then set some items on fire before the video shows him throwing the device. DHS identified the suspect as Emiliano Garduno-Galvez. The agency said in 2024 he was arrested in Anaheim for grand theft and for a DUI in Long Beach. In addition, he had been previously deported. FOX News' Bill Meluguin reported Garduno-Galvez will be charged with attempted murder.

The curfew began at 8 p.m. Tuesday and was lifted at 6 a.m. Wednesday. It's set to continue indefinitely until it's lifted by Bass. CBS 2 Man Faces Sentencing for Defrauding FEMA Wildfire Relief A South Los Angeles man is expected to be sentenced Tuesday for fraudulently obtaining federal disaster-relief benefits by falsely claiming his property was damaged in the wildfires that struck the region in January 2025. Jaime Arturo Carrillo, 48, pleaded guilty in April to one count of fraud in connection with major disaster or emergency benefits, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. On Jan. 13, 2025, Carrillo falsely stated to FEMA on an application for wildfire-relief benefits that he rented property in South Los Angeles — nearly 20 miles from the Palisades and Eaton fires — and had suffered personal property damage and a disruption in his utilities. Carrillo was not renting at the South Los Angeles residence. As a result of his false statements, FEMA authorized Carrillo to receive transitional sheltering assistance. Using these benefits, Carrillo received free lodging for 13 nights at two Los Angeles County hotels, with a total cost of about $2,173. Carrillo also charged nearly $107 to the room paid for by FEMA at an El Segundo hotel for food and incidental costs, papers filed in Los Angeles federal court show. MyNewsLA BWC video shows moments leading up to fatal shooting of Ohio deputy, efforts to save his life Authorities have released body-worn camera footage showing the encounter that led to the death of Morrow County Sheriff’s Deputy Daniel Sherrer, ABC 6 reported. The May 26 incident began when the suspect’s brother-in-law called 911, reporting that the suspect had fired two full magazines into his car. At the same time, Sherrer was arriving at the suspect’s residence. Bodycam footage shows Sherrer calmly approaching the suspect, who was sitting on his porch with a firearm clearly visible. Sherrer greeted the suspect, but the situation quickly escalated when the suspect began shouting profanities and warned the deputy not to come any closer. Sherrer took cover and radioed that the suspect was armed. The released footage ends before shots were fired, but investigators say Sherrer was struck after moving around the porch. Sherrer had also fired shots, striking the suspect. Another deputy, who had initially responded to the 911 call, arrived shortly after and discovered Sherrer unconscious. With the help of a nearby neighbor, who is a firefighter, the deputy began rendering aid, removing Sherrer’s vest and shirt in an effort to locate the gunshot wound and revive him. They found that Sherrer had been shot in the chest and was unresponsive with no detectable pulse. PoliceOne Florida man punches deputy 20 times, grabs gun before OIS A deputy shot a man during a life-or-death struggle outside a Florida store, authorities say. At about 8 a.m. Saturday, June 7, a deputy with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office saw a man “behaving suspiciously” behind a Save Discount Store in Pine Hills, Sheriff John Mina said in a news briefing. Pine Hills is a northwestern suburb of Orlando. According to Mina, the deputy went to talk with the man and ask him what he was doing inside a fenced-in area behind the store. “The man initially looked like he was going to comply,” the sheriff said, but just after the deputy helped him over the fence, the man picked up a bag off the ground and tried to run. The deputy tried to arrest the man, who then started hitting the deputy in the face, knocking him onto his back, Mina said. After knocking the deputy down, the man kept swinging, he said. During the struggle, two guns spilled out of the man’s bag onto the ground, according to the sheriff. The deputy was “in a fight for his life,” and the two men struggled for 1 minute and 16 seconds, Mina said, adding that he viewed body camera video of the encounter. “This is an extremely long time to be in a fight, especially if you’re being punched in the face,” he said. The Herald Public Safety News 2 men in ‘at least serious condition’ after car flies off freeway transition ramp Two men were hurt after a car careened off a transition ramp onto the 101 Freeway early Tuesday afternoon. The crash was reported around 12:20 p.m. at the interchange of the 60 and 101 freeways in Boyle Heights. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that the single-vehicle rollover left two passengers in “at least” serious condition and required them to be hospitalized. They were preliminarily identified as two men between the ages of 25 and 30, LAFD said. Video captured by Sky5 shows the vehicle ended up on its roof after flying off the 60 Freeway ramp and landing on its roof on the southbound 101 transition ramp to the 5 Freeway. “The vehicle came on the 60 Freeway eastbound transition and came off that road down the hillside onto the 101 transition ramp the the southbound 5 Freeway,” Gil Leyvas said from Sky5. “It took out a couple light poles and about a hundred feet of guardrail in that area.” KTLA 5 Parts of Los Angeles begin cleaning up after protests lead to looting, vandalism and arrests A section of downtown Los Angeles is cleaning up after protests sparked by immigration enforcement operations resulted in damage from looting, graffiti, and vandalism. On Friday multiple immigration operations were conducted across L.A., primarily in the Westlake District, downtown and South L.A., ICE officials confirmed. A single operation at a job site Friday resulted in the arrest of 44 unauthorized immigrants, ICE told CBS News on Sunday. An additional 77 were arrested around the same time frame in the greater L.A. area. This led to protests in downtown Los Angeles, which resulted in 42 arrests. Those arrested are facing charges ranging from assault on an officer, and attempted murder to looting and failure to disperse. On Sunday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna commented on the arrests, saying law enforcement is there to "bring calm back into Los Angeles." "There were some really good people out there protesting and demonstrating, then you had people who were acting unlawfully, which meant they were attacking police officers, deputy sheriffs and causing a lot of destruction," Luna said.
