A horrific multiple-vehicle wreck in Wilmington leaves two people dead.

This event was canceled the last two years due to COVID-19, so it was going to take more than heat - even a lot of heat - to stop many from coming.

A 20-year-old woman was killed and two other people were shot in Wilmington Tuesday afternoon, according to police.

Authorities were notified of the flooding in the 400 block of North Avalon Boulevard around 2:05 p.m. Friday.

The young victim was identified by the LA County coroner's office as 17-year-old Arnulfo Aguilar.

The noxious smell was traced to organic material decaying in the Dominguez Channel. The result was a rotten-egg-type smell that wafted over a region including Carson, Gardena, Torrance, Redondo Beach, Wilmington and Long Beach.
