• Police say Pico Boulevard deaths were murder-suicide (smdp.com) — A married couple were found dead inside a home on the 3100 block of Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica, where police say a man fatally shot his wife before killing himself. Officers discovered the bodies during a welfare check early Saturday morning, recovered a firearm at the scene, and emphasize there is no ongoing threat to the public while asking residents with information to contact the 24-hour SMPD watch commander.
• Inside the ultra-luxury sober living home where Presley Gerber died of suspected overdose (mercurynews.com) — Santa Monica police are investigating how drugs entered a high-end sober living home where Presley Gerber died of a suspected overdose, raising fresh questions about oversight of such facilities in the city. The article details the home's ownership, regulatory gray areas, and statewide failures to pass stronger rules for recovery residences, an issue that could affect similar homes operating in Santa Monica neighborhoods.
• Hurricane Polo threat remains as LA beaches brace for coastal flooding, erosion, and high surf (nypost.com) — Coastal Los Angeles, including the Santa Monica Pier area, is bracing for dangerous surf, beach flooding, and erosion from Hurricane Polo's distant effects starting Sunday night. Officials warn of powerful rip currents, high tides that may flood parking lots and walkways, and urge residents to use sandbags and stay cautious near the water, even though the storm won't directly hit California.
