Press conference is scheduled for 1:30 PM, local time.

I'm guessing KFI radio will carry it when it happens. Here's the live link:

None of the local radio stations are carrying this press conference, which is happening right now, and the only TV station that was carrying it just lost the audio signal at the very start of the presser and went back to regular programming.

So disappointing. I'll try to post some details as soon as I know any.



edit: I can't believe nobody is covering this press conference. I've tried every radio station and local TV station. Disgusting.

An Oklahoma man was arrested in the August killings of a mother and her 4-year-old daughter in Long Beach, authorities said Monday.

Brandon Colbert, 22, was arrested in connection with the killings, Long Beach Police Department announced. He boarded a bus in Tulsa, Okla. on Aug. 3 and arrived in Los Angeles the next day, police said.

Two days later, Carina Mancera and her 4-year-old daughter Jennabel Anaya were killed just feet from their home, according to police.

Police are now looking to retrace Colbert’s last steps.

Colbert was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on suspicion of driving a stolen vehicle on Aug. 27 and never bailed out, (Long Beach Police Chief) Luna said. It’s not clear if he left California between Aug. 6 and Aug. 27.

DNA evidence from items at the Long Beach crime scene led to a match with Colbert, whose DNA was submitted after his LAPD arrest, according to police.

“When somebody’s arrested for a felony crime, they get swabbed,” Luna said. “Some people say that may be an invasion of somebody’s privacy, but it was the key in arresting this individual for killing this mother and her child.”

Colbert was transferred to Long Beach police custody Saturday, inmate records indicate.

The motive for the shooting remains unknown, Luna said. Investigators have not ruled out the possibility that others were involved in the deaths.

This info leads me to believe this was gang related. Why else would a stranger shoot and kill two people in cold blood?

 

[Frannie]

Does the husband have a love interest, a girl friend ? I don't care how distraught he seemed to be. Think of Dr. Teresa Sievers, her husband got someone from out of state, everyone has a price.... if you look long enough.

I hope they hang this guy by his unmentionables and beat him with a stick.

But would he want someone to shoot his baby in the face at point blank range? I could see getting rid of his spouse, maybe....but this did not seem like something a father would order to be done. JMO

I would think drugs.

im wondering what DNA he left at the scene.... was he wiping sweat on tissues?

A court hearing for the man accused of gunning down a mother and 4-year-old daughter in downtown Long Beach turned tense Tuesday when family members on both sides of the case briefly confronted each other in a hallway.

(...)

The families were at the courthouse for Brandon Ivan Colbert Jr.'s arraignment. The 22-year-old is facing murder charges in the slayings of 26-year-old Carina Mancera and her daughter, Jennabel Anaya, in August.

Not sure of the reliability but some pretty good info in this article

<snip>

According to a police report, Colbert's family called police after he left from the bus station in Tulsa on Aug. 3 because they found a note "and thought Brandon was going to do something bad," according to the report. The document does not describe what the note said.

The grandmother of a man accused in the killing of a woman and her 4-year-old daughter in Long Beach told authorities her grandson wanted to join the Islamic State terrorist group days before the Aug. 6 shooting, but Long Beach detectives believe the grandmother made up the information.

The grandmother said Brandon Ivan Colbert Jr., 22, made the comment before boarding a bus in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Aug. 3...

"He has no history of violence," [Colbert's defense attorney, Matthew Fletcher,] said in an interview. "He has no history of any religious affiliation other than Christianity."

Colbert does have a history of mental illness, Fletcher said...

In a statement Wednesday night, Long Beach police said they believe the grandmother made up the statement about ISIS to get local authorities to take her concern over Colbert seriously.

is this going to end up being a random act at the hands of a mentally ill suspect? how heartbreaking for the father

 

[glf]

Being an LPN, I wonder if we are actually seeing an increase in mental health issues, or is it just because people are more open about these problems than in the late 1800's? Nobody ever said much about that sort of thing thing, say assoc. with serial killers (Jack the Ripper), or others even earlier in history. Now, when people who've done unbelievable things, we are told "they probably suffered with..." whatever type of illness fits the situation. I had an aunt who was hospitalized on several occasions in the '60's, and they actually treated her with shock treatments more than once or twice. Now, that type of treatment is unheard of.
Nutritional info improves all the time, and now, we are learning to appreciate plain, home grown foods that are not over processed, GMO free, not loaded with salt, sugar, and other man made presertives. Our ancestors may have not lived to be elderly, but that had more to do with living thru terrible cold winters, and scorching hot summers without insulated homes, fans, or air conditioning, even no electricity. The natural elements took their toll, usually before disease took them do to poor diet. Their internal health was better and much less obesity and heart problems. So, their natural foods could have helped keep mental problems at bay.

 

[cvaldez1975]

I think it had more to do w the fact that mental illness carried a stigma, and families would hide their "unwell" family members or ship them off to mental institutions. nowadays there are no mental institutions, only if you are criminally insane and are committed by court, not that turn of the century mental institutions were wonderful places.... and nowadays you cannot force a mentally ill fam member to medicate which leads to mentally ill ppl that family cannot control and no place to seek help for them.
