Jocelyn Nungaray's Killers Found to Have Gang Ties

A handful of parents turned in their kids after Los Angeles police shared nearly 200 surveillance images of recent 7-Eleven mob robberies by "youthful males."Blaze News has been reporting about the 7-Eleven heists on bikes. In August, a mob of about 20 individuals pulled off three nighttime smash-and-grab robberies in a span of 20 minutes. Last month, 50 juveniles on bicycles easily ransacked and robbed a 7-Eleven in Los Angeles and escaped police.Police said 13 of the 14 incidents have occurred on Friday evenings.Police said the suspects enter the stores in the evening, remove merchandise, damage property, and flee on their bicycles without paying. Police said the incidents have been captured on security surveillance video, and the suspects have been described as youthful males, possibly teens, varying in ethnicity and physicality. Here's cell phone video of one incident.Police said the suspects on several occasions physically pushed witnesses during the criminal takeovers with "no regard" for others' safety. Police added that although no injuries have been reported, several witnesses "continue to fear for their safety after such aggressive and callous criminal behavior."Last week police unveiled a more extensive rundown of the "flash robberies" at 7-Elevens, saying they involve 20 to 40 suspects on bicycles who began targeting the stores on July 12. Police said all of the 7-Elevens are within a short distance of each other in the Rampart, Hollywood, Wilshire, and West LA Divisions. Police said 13 of the 14 incidents have occurred on Friday evenings.What's more, police in their news release last week included nearly 200 images of suspects captured on surveillance cameras from various robberies.Catching a breakKTLA-TV reported that Assistant LAPD Chief Blake Chow on Tuesday told the L.A. Board of Police Commissioners that the new release generated numerous tips from the public that led to arrests.KTLA said the day after the news release was published, a parent brought in a juvenile who was involved in one of the robberies, according to Chow. He added that two other parents also turned in their kids on Saturday and Sunday, the station noted, adding that in each instance the child was booked for robbery.Investigators learned through interviews that many of the juveniles involved in the 7-Eleven flash robberies were not from the neighborhoods where the crimes took place, Chow told KTLA.More arrests are anticipated as anonymous tips continue to come in and school resource officers work to identify other juveniles involved, he added to the station.You can view a video report here about the incidents.Those with information are urged to contact 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (1-877-527-3247), KTLA said. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477) or go to www.lacrimestoppers.org, the station added.

Land reclamation work in Almere, in the north central Netherlands’ province of Flevoland, has uncovered beams from a medieval construction kit for a church roof. The beams date to the 15th century and were likely being transported by ship when they fell overboard or sank with the ship in the Zuiderzee, today a freshwater lake, but an open waterway on the North Sea in the 1400s. The Zuiderzee was at different times a lake and a North Sea bay, depending on sea levels and coastal erosion. Construction of the Afsluitdijk dam in the 20th century caused its current lake incarnation, and Almere was built on land reclaimed from it between 1959 and 1968, making it the Netherlands’ youngest city. Despite its youth, there are archaeological remains in the deep layers of the former bay/lake under the city going back to the Neolithic. Archaeologists discovered the beams while surveying the site of future development in the Almere Pampus district. Archaeologist Yftinus van Popta drilled down to create a “viewing hole” and spotted the wood in an excellent state of preservation thanks to the waterlogged environment. It’s a pack of at least 80 beams that were assembled using marks carved by the carpenters into the wood as instructions. When fitted together, the beams would have formed a pointed roof approximately 9 by 22 meters (30 by 72 feet). In what is now Almere Pampus, the remains of at least three shipwrecks were found in the 1980s on one plot, as well as parts of the late medieval church roof. When the beams were found, they were reburied somewhere else. A conscious choice, says van Popta: “If you bring it up, it will dry out, and then you have to do something with it. But conservation is very expensive.” The exact location of the reburial has not been well preserved. Based on old aerial photographs, overview drawings and descriptions by the archaeologists at the time, he got a suspicion where the reburied church roof should be. A drilling investigation was carried out there. Plastic and wood were soon found, exactly as expected, because old photographs showed that the church roof had been covered with agricultural plastic. It is unique to find a wooden church roof as a shipload in its entirety. Van Popta: “If the beams are in good condition, you could still put it together as intended, so to speak, and that is very special.” The municipality is having additional research done to determine the precise dating of the wood and to gain more clarity about the ship on which it was transported.

Donald Trump is railing against special counsel Jack Smith's unsealing of documents in his Jan. 6 case, calling him "deranged" and accusing the Biden "regime" of conspiring to "undermine and weaponize American democracy" while interfering in the upcoming election.

Pumpkin Pie Cake only has 5 ingredients but it tastes completely homemade! It is a dessert that tastes like part pumpkin pie and part spice cake! Topped with vanilla frosting! PART PIE AND PART CAKE I adapted this recipe from my Pumpkin Pie Dump Cake. Instead of sprinkling the cake mix on top and pouring on the butter, I wondered what would happen if I just mixed it all together. And boy, was it one of the best fall desserts I have tasted in a LONG time! It only has 5 ingredients but I swear it tastes homemade! If you have a crowd over at Thanksgiving, this might be the perfect dessert to serve. It will easily make 12 servings and you can make it the night before!  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What can I add to this cake? I added these Brach’s Mellowcreme Pumpkins as a last minute decoration on top. They aren’t necessary, but they are a super cute edible decoration for each slice of cake. Why is my frosting melting? Usually this happens if you’re trying to ice the cake too soon. You HAVE to let the cake cool before you frost it. Can I use a different frosting? Sure, if you have a homemade frosting you prefer, feel free to use that. A buttercream frosting, a marshmallow frosting, or a pumpkin spice flavored frosting would all be tasty. How to store leftover cake? This cake would do good at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) pumpkin pie mix – you want to look for the pumpkin pie mix, not the smaller cans of pure pumpkin. Pumpkin puree is just pumpkin, it doesn’t have any other seasonings or evaporated milk added so don’t grab that by accident. eggs spice cake mix – I think this works best with a spice cake mix but I suppose you could use a yellow or vanilla cake mix. salted butter – I think the salted butter cuts the overall sweetness of this dessert. If you only have unsalted butter, you can use that. vanilla frosting – you could also use cool whip (whipped topping) if you prefer. Brach’s Mellowcreme Pumpkins – optional, but make a really cute addition to each slice of cake. HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN PIE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Lightly spray the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a stand mixer, (or large mixing bowl) mix together pumpkin pie mix and eggs. Then mix in cake mix and melted butter. Mix slowly at first so the cake mix doesn’t fly everywhere. Mix this together for at least 2 minutes to make sure the batter is fully incorporated. Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for about 45-55 minutes (center of the cake shouldn’t be jiggly). Allow cake to cool completely then spread the frosting on top. You could even top each square with these candy corn pumpkins. Cut into 12 squares and serve! CRAVING MORE RECIPES?
