High waters flooded neighborhoods around Houston on Saturday following heavy rains that have already resulted in crews rescuing more than 400 people from homes, rooftops and roads engulfed in murky water. Others prepared to evacuate their property.

A wide region was swamped from Houston to rural East Texas, where game wardens rode airboats through waist-high waters rescuing both people and pets who did not evacuate in time. One crew brought a family and three dogs aboard as rising waters surrounded their cars and home.

A flood watch was in effect through Sunday afternoon, May 5, 2024, as forecasters predicted additional rainfall Saturday night and the likelihood of major flooding.

A family continues grieving after a 12-year-old boy was struck and killed while crossing the street in South Los Angeles. On April 18, Derrick Serrano, 12, was walking home from school when he decided to cross the street near Vernon and Wadsworth Avenues at around 3 p.m.

That’s when a driver struck and killed the boy. His mother, Claudia Gramajo, believes the deadly crash could’ve been prevented if proper safety measures were put in place. Serrano was a 6th grader at Carver Middle School located in the South Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.

He takes a short walk back home, but one that navigates heavily congested roads and intersections and is noticeably devoid of crosswalks, signs or safety signals to protect students.

Residents in a Beverly Grove neighborhood are on edge after a burglary crew continues targeting the area in a string of costly thefts. Neighbors said the burglars are hitting homes on an almost daily basis, oftentimes staking out potential properties before striking.

Many homeowners have increased security measures by installing cameras and motion sensors around their properties. However, it seems those preventative measures have not deterred the thieves.

A man recalls the terrifying moment he was beaten and robbed while working at his family’s taco truck in Long Beach — the second time they’ve now been targeted. The victim, Erick Flores, was working at the Los Bros Tacos truck located on Junipero Avenue and 7th Street when two suspects suddenly approached him on Thursday, May 2.

“They crossed the street and came walking up,” Flores recalled. One male suspect was wearing a black hoodie and the other was wearing a red hoodie as Flores, who worked as a cashier in front of the food truck, spotted them.

As the man in the black hoodie began ordering food, that’s when his accomplice made his move. Flores was knocked to the ground and punched repeatedly. He was left with a broken nose and was found bloodied and bruised by his coworkers.
