FBI FUGITIVE TASK FORCE IN LOS ANGELES SEEKS ONE DOZEN FUGITIVES
T
he FBI and Mexican law enforcement authorities are seeking the public’s assistance in locating twelve suspects who are accused of committing violent crimes in Los Angeles, announced Paul Delacourt, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office and Joseph Gonzalez, the FBI’s Legal Attaché in Mexico City. Since its inception, the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force in Los Angeles has arrested over 2,000 fugitives wanted either for crimes committed in Los Angeles who then fled the jurisdiction, or fugitives wanted from jurisdictions outside the state of California who are located in the Los Angeles area. At any given time, law enforcement in southern California is seeking hundreds of fugitives, many of whom seek to hide from police by crossing our southern border and, in many cases, illegally entering Mexico to evade capture. Once agents pinpoint the location where the fugitive is believed to be residing, the FBI relies on its counterparts in Mexico to assist in the capture of the suspects. In each of the cases being announced today, reward money is being offered in exchange for information that leads to an arrest. All of the fugitives being announced today are believed to have fled to Mexico and may be residing there. The FBI’s Fugitive Task Force is comprised of agents and officers with the FBI; the Los Angeles Police Department; and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Through the

Orange County Church Camp Counselor Facing Felony Sexual Assault Charges A 19-year-old camp counselor has been charged with sexually assaulting two young girls during summer camp outings.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Hoist Two Hikers from Lytle Creek On Tuesday, July 30, 2019, three friends went hiking in the South Fork area of Lytle Creek. The group got a late start and began their hike after 6 pm. The three attempted to hike to a nearby waterfall, but as the sun set, they became disoriented and hiked off-trail. They continued to hike in darkness, going deeper into the forested area of the mountains. At some
point during the night, one of the females in the group thought an animal bit her. She was unable to see anything, and she did not know the extent of her injuries. The three yelled for help throughout the night as they walked through thick brush and steep terrain.
