- It's your turn Oceanside! Tell the city what you think and take the College Blvd. Roadway Widening project survey. The city is working on a road widening project for the College Boulevard Corridor to provide congestion relief and improve safety conditions for people driving, biking and walking. A variety of coordinated improvements are proposed, including widening the corridor between Olive Drive and Old Grove Road, traffic signal modifications, landscaped parkway and medians and improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Take the survey! (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)

The child's mother grabbed her daughter's hand and yelled at the man, who left the area, Sgt. Heather Bruton said. The child was not hurt. (San Diego Patch)

- A Sylmar, California, man has pleaded guilty following the 2020 death of a Marine at Camp Pendleton, California, after the unnamed Marine overdosed from taking fentanyl-laced oxycodone pills. Gustavo Jaciel Solis, 25, pleaded guilty to two federal drug trafficking charges April 13, a press release from the District Attorney's Office of Central California has revealed: participating in a drug trafficking conspiracy and distributing fentanyl resulting in death. (Marine Corps Times)
- The Golden State lost more than 117,000 people last year, the second consecutive year the population declined, according to new state data. The population of California, the nation's most populous state, was likely shrinking amid an aging population of Baby Boomers and a decline in younger Californians having children, according to state demographers. The state's population began its decline before the pandemic, but COVID-19-related deaths, federal policies restricting immigration and an increase in residents moving out of state during the pandemic contributed to the decline.
