EXCLUSIVE: UCLA's Jalen Hill spoke to @latbbolch about why he's retiring from basketball. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
Midway through the season, a restless night left Hill lying in bed, not wanting to do anything or see anyone. He knew then that he needed to save himself by giving up something that had once defined him.

The game he loved. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
Hill announces his retirement earlier this week in an Instagram video that’s been viewed more than 12,600 times.

Since then, his burden has been lightened. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
“That pressure of trying to be better than somebody else like day in and day out, you’re either winning or you’re losing. Now every day it just seems like I’m winning because I’m here, I’m alive and my mental state has changed immensely.” latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…

California’s economy is reopening a year after the pandemic began.

But this rebirth is playing out more cautiously in places like East L.A. which was devastated by the pandemic in ways more affluent parts of the city could barely imagine.

While some beach districts are seeing surges in business, the recovery in places like Whittier Boulevard is going more slowly and deliberately.

Here, people are shellshocked by illness, death and job loss.

Miguel Dominguez and his son Jesse are worried that pandemic shopping habits will become permanent.

“People who used to buy from me would tell me that it’s cheaper there, so they stopped coming,” he said. “We can’t fight against those monsters.” Image

Breaking: The father of three children who were found dead in a Reseda apartment Saturday had sought custody of the kids in March.
He also requested a mental health evaluation of their mother, Liliana Carrillo, who is suspected in the slaying. latimes.com/california/sto…
Erik Denton told the @latimes he tried to get local authorities to intervene, but “in L.A. they wouldn’t help. The LAPD would not get involved.” He said Carrillo was supposed to turn over the kids to him on Sunday.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Carrillo was taken into custody in Tulare County on Saturday after leading authorities on a long-distance chase in which she allegedly carjacked a pickup truck in Bakersfield, authorities said.

Breaking: Two more reviews have found glaring problems with the Los Angeles Police Department’s handling of last summer’s mass protests against police brutality. latimes.com/california/sto…
Both concluded that poor planning, inadequate training and inconsistent leadership contributed to disorder in the streets. latimes.com/california/sto…
In LAPD's report, it acknowledged inadequate “command and control” training, failures by supervisors to properly communicate strategies to officers on the ground and an outdated approach to protests. ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/e7/24/ca83ff82…
