Nearly 90 people were arrested after dozens of sports cars were towed from the Los Angeles River in the Cypress Park neighborhood on Sunday evening.  LAPD officers said that they, along with personnel from other law enforcement agencies, swarmed the area at around 6 p.m. upon learning of the gathering. Aerial footage from around 7:20 p.m. showed a large gathering of vehicles in the riverbed near San Fernando Road.  Other vehicles were seen being driven from the riverbed in a single-file line, where some were loaded onto tow trucks. CBS LA Drivers who had gathered in the area told CBS LA that they were there for a car meetup, and that just over 100 vehicles were there when LAPD officers unexpectedly arrived to tell them they were trespassing.

“There’s a trespassing sign that’s really small, you can’t read it,” said Alexander Pimienta, one of the many drivers who were in attendance at the gathering. “We weren’t doing anything illegal, we weren’t doing anything stupid. … They towed my motorcycle, they’re towing trucks, they’re towing over 50 cars.”  Other video from the scene showed officers handing out what appeared to be citations or tickets, while some of the drivers were put in handcuffs. On Tuesday, LAPD officials told CBS LA that two people were arrested for felonies while 84 others were arrested for misdemeanors. They had 72 cars impounded on Sunday.

Man killed in shooting at Universal City Park & Ride parking lot

A man was fatally shot in the parking lot near Universal Studios on Sunday morning, according to Los Angeles police.  Officers said that the shooting happened at around 11:20 a.m. near the Universal/Studio City Park & Ride parking lot in the 10800 block of Ventura Boulevard. By the time they arrived at the scene, the suspect had already fled the area.  Arriving first responders found the victim, only described as a man in his 40s, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

He was pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics, police said. LAPD detectives say that the man was homeless and living at an encampment in the area. LAPD detectives did not provide information on the suspect or motive in the incident as their preliminary investigation got underway. They are unsure if the suspect is also homeless. “Detectives from Robbery Homicide Division Valley Bureau Section are actively canvassing the neighborhood for surveillance video and witnesses,” a news release from LAPD officers said on Monday. 

A Metro spokesperson shared a statement with CBS LA upon request, stating that the shooting was not related to their services and that it only happened in the surrounding area.
