Bizarre Dog Attack Leaves Several Injured in Lancaster, as Man Dies of Unspecified Reason

Sheriff’s homicide detectives Wednesday were investigating a dog attack in Lancaster where a 43-year-old man was killed and several others were injured.

Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriffs’ Department’s Lancaster Station responded just after 3:10 p.m. Tuesday to the desert area of 20th Street West north of Avenue G regarding a medical rescue call at a homeless encampment. Upon their arrival, they discovered several people had been attacked by a dog and at least two people suffering from injuries, one of whom was unresponsive lying on the ground, said Deputy Tracy Koerner of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

The unresponsive man was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead, Koerner said. The victim does not appear to have died as a result of being bitten by the dog and his cause of death will be determined at his autopsy.

Sheriff’s investigators learned a physical altercation had occurred between the deceased victim and another man outside of a motor home in the encampment.  The second man’s dog got loose from inside the motor home and attacked the victim and at least one more person trying to intervene.

The owner of the dog was detained and is cooperating with the investigation. The dog was removed from the scene by animal control and did not appear to have any injuries, according to Koerner.

Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tips can be called in to Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or submitted online at lacrimestoppers.org.

Ex-Coronado Resident Gets Tentative 3-Month Sentence for Capitol Breach

A former Coronado resident was tentatively sentenced Monday to three months in prison for taking part in the breach of the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. A federal judge deferred the sentence until March 15, at which point Jeffrey Alexander Smith , 34, could receive custody, to be followed by two years of probation, with 200 hours of community service. The sentence was deferred until the court could resolve a legal issue of whether Smith can face both custody and probation. Smith pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating and picketing in a capitol building for taking part in the siege. Prosecutors were seeking five months imprisonment, while Smith’s attorneys requested probation and community service. According to the prosecution’s sentencing memorandum, Smith and others moved iron benches that were placed in front of closed doors in the Capitol building.

During the trip back to an awaiting Navy ship, one of the AAVs sank, killing eight Marines and a naval corpsman – the deadliest amphibious training accident in the service branch’s history. Convened in a spare courtroom-like facility at Camp Pendleton – troops training near could be heard – Marine Corps lawyers made a case for why the men should be demoted or even removed from the military – these hearings are only about positions in the Corps, none of the Marines are facing charges. One board was held back east at Marine Corps Base Qua...
