NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The man accused of shooting an NYPD detective early Friday morning in Brooklyn has been charged with attempted murder, among other charges. Kelvin Stichel, 33, was charged Saturday with attempted aggravated murder of a peace officer, attempted murder and robbery. Police said Det. Miguel Soto and his partner were in an unmarked police van when they noticed 33-year-old Kelvin Stichel, who was wanted in a domestic armed robbery. “The police identified themselves and told the man to show them his hands,” said Police Commissioner James O’Neill. “The suspect then displayed a gun and shot at the officers, striking a detective once in the leg. The detective returned fire as the two other officers and the suspect ran away.” Soto was shot once in the right thigh, and the bullet passed through his leg. The 32-year-old husband, father and seven-year member of the NYPD was treated at Kings County Hospital and released about eight hours later. “He’s a real tough guy. I’m glad he’s part of the NYPD. He does a great job each and every day,” O’Neill said. Stichel was shot in the arm. Officers followed a trail of blood to find him hiding in the hallway of an apartment building on Kingston Avenue. Kelvin Stichel (credit: NYPD) A .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun was recovered from a nearby garbage can, police said.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The man accused in a brutal attempted rape on the Upper West Side appeared in court Saturday afternoon. Desmond Smith, 32, was arrested Thursday and charged with attempted rape, sexual abuse, strangulation and assault. Police said the 37-year-old victim exited an Uber around 11 p.m. Wednesday near Central Park West and 84th Street. Smith allegedly approached her and tried to talk to her. When she ignored him, he allegedly threw her onto the ground, punched, stomped and bit her as he started to choke her and removed her clothing. The woman bit him and screamed for help, police said. “I was looking down from my window when I heard the loud argument and the screaming,” a neighbor told CBS2’s Alice Gainer. “I saw a guy with a girl lying on the floor, on the ground, and the guy was kicking her head. Then the attacker ripped the girl’s skirt and underwear.” A doorman who was working nearby told Gainer he heard her screams and went to see what happened. He was trying to take a picture of the attacker, when the flash on his camera distracted the suspect. “She was on the floor and he was on top of her. He was hitting her, basically, with hand or foot, I couldn’t see that, but also in the way I saw him pulling off the clothes,” Ernest Pjedri said. “He left her and was coming behind me.” Pjedri said the man told him the woman owed him money. Both the neighbor and the doorman called police, but the victim and suspect had both left separately before officers arrived. According to court documents, the woman suffered fractures to her face and chest, as well as cuts and bruises to her face, neck, arms and legs. Smith was arrested the following night. Police said he lived at Skyway Men’s Shelter 83 rd Street Annex, which is run by the Department of Homeless Services. He has 10 prior arrests, including assault, harassment and grand larceny.

Brush Fire Rips Through Goleta; At Least 20 Structures Destroyed, Thousands Evacuated
written by ChastitBodiford
GOLETA (CBSLA/AP) — A fast-moving brush fire in the Santa Barbara County community of Goleta has damaged or destroyed 20 homes and structures and was threatening scores more Saturday morning, as thousands of people evacuated to safety. (Santa Barbara County Fire Department spokesman Mike Eliason/Twitter) The Holiday Fire started as a structure fire sometime before 8:45 p.m. on North Fairview Avenue, above Goleta, and quickly spread to nearby brush, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department reports. The fire had burned at least 60 acres as of 8 a.m. Saturday morning and was only 5 percent contained. Total calm Saturday morning replaced the 50 mile-per-hour gusts and forward progress of the fire was stopped, Santa Barbara County Fire Capt. Dave Zaniboni said. “It’s really given us a good opportunity to get in there and get some work done,” Zaniboni said, cautioning that critical fire weather warnings would remain in effect until the evening. An excessive heat warning was in effect until 9 p.m. for Santa Barbara County, the National Weather Service reported, while a red flag warning was in effect through 6 p.m. (Mike Eliason/Twitter) Evacuations were in effect for about 2,500 people. They applied to areas north of the Cathedral Oaks neighborhood to West Camino Cielo Road, and from La Patera Lane, west to North Patterson Avenue. All roads going north from La Patera Lane to Patterson Avenue, along Cathedral Oaks, were closed to the public. (Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management/Google Maps) An evacuation center was set up at Goleta Valley Community Center, located at 5679 Hollister Ave. 350 fire personnel were battling the blaze from the ground and in the air, with water-dropping choppers and air tankers. There have been no reported injuries. California Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for Santa Barbara County Saturday morning. As some houses smoldered, a few residents who hadn’t left or had managed to return surveyed damage that seemed random: destroyed homes next to others completely intact. Eric Durtschi stood outside his destroyed house, where a burned-out car stood in the driveway and kids’ bicycles were strewn about. Durtschi, his wife and six children had left Utah and moved in just a few weeks ago. He said he hadn’t yet told his two oldest children their home was gone. He managed to collect his severely burned vintage guns, hoping to salvage them. Meanwhile, a neighbor across the street saw his home spared. The man had stayed through the night spraying down other people’s houses. The area is west of where the Thomas Fire, California’s largest in history, raged last December . That blaze destroyed more than 1,000 buildings in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

Report: Former UCLA Star Found Dead After 11-Hour Standoff In Sherman Oaks; Shots Fired
written by Terence09M
SHERMAN OAKS (CBSLA) — A former UCLA and NBA basketball star was found dead inside a Sherman Oaks home Saturday morning after he barricaded himself inside the residence for 11 hours following a shootout with officers. The victim was identified as 27-year-old Tyler Honeycutt, according to TMZ. FILE — UCLA forward Tyler Honeycutt plays against Oregon State in the first half Saturday, Feb. 12, 2011, at Pauley Pavilion in Westwood. (Los Angeles Times/Getty Images) The incident began when Los Angeles police responded to a man with a gun call in the 4900 block of Tyrone Avenue around 5 p.m. Friday and the man fired at officers, who returned fire. The suspect barricaded himself inside the home, so police set up a perimeter and called in a SWAT team, according to LAPD Officer Jeff Lee. A SWAT team entered the home and located an unresponsive male, who was pronounced dead at the scene, the LAPD tweeted at 3:45 a.m. Saturday. Police later confirmed that the suspect appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and was not struck by any gunfire from the officers. No officers were injured. Some residents were evacuated during the standoff. It’s unclear if they’ve been allowed to return home. Honeycutt played two seasons at UCLA from 2009 to 2011 and then spent two seasons with the Sacramento Kings after being taken in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft. He then spent several seasons playing in Europe. At the time of his death, he was playing for the club BC Khimki in Russia. Investigators from the department’s Force Investigation Division will look into the incident. (©2018 CBS Local Media, a division of CBS Radio Inc. All Rights Reserved.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – The heat wave continued Saturday across the Southland , as thousands of people dealt with power outages amid triple-digit temperatures. The peak of the heat wave came Friday and will continue Saturday with “widespread record-breaking triple-digit heat” expected, the National Weather Service wrote. “The extreme record-breaking heat in combination with single-digit humidities and gusty north winds will continue to bring very critical fire weather conditions across the mountains, Santa Barbara south coast, Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley and Santa Monica mountains.” The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power reported that 34,500 customers were without power as of 8 a.m. Saturday.

Power has since been restored. Red flag warnings will be in effect until 6 p.m. Saturday in the Los Angeles County mountains, Angeles National Forest, Santa Clarita Valley, Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area and the San Fernando Valley.

Also in effect is an excessive heat warning everywhere in Los Angeles County, including the San Gabriel and Santa Monica Mountains; the San Fernando, San Gabriel, Santa Clarita, Pomona and Antelope valleys; Catalina, L.A. County beach cities, metropolitan Los Angeles, the downtown area and the Hollywood Hills. The warning will remain in effect until 9 p.m. Saturday. Highs expected in those areas include the 80s to mid 90s along the coast; the mid 90s to 105 inland; 95 to 107 in the mountains; and 105 to 112 in the valleys. Downtown Los Angeles broke the heat record for a July 6 by reaching 95 degrees — at 10:15 a.m. — surpassing the 1992 record of 94 degrees.
