The group REFORM Alliance teamed up with longtime criminal justice reform advocate Kim Kardashian bringing new generation to their cause.

Carter was found in the bathtub in his Lancaster home in November 2022.

One person was declared dead at the scene, while five others were brought to area hospitals.

The four teens were taken to an area hospital with injuries that were considered non-life-threatening but were life-changing. One victim reportedly lost a hand while another victim allegedly lost their fingers.

Officials have released new updates on last week's dramatic car chase through the Antelope Valley that ended with the suspect jumping out of a stolen police cruiser on live TV.

A man suspected of stealing a patrol car and leading California Highway Patrol officers on a high-speed police chase through the Antelope Valley jumped to his death mid-pursuit.

A man was shot dead and another man was critically wounded Saturday at a house party in Lancaster.

"That was his mother doing that to him, the one that's supposed to protect him. To me, that's no longer human. That's not my sister. That's a monster. Monsters should be killed," Anthony's uncle David Barron said.

Around 50 vases were stolen from various gravesites at the Lancaster memorial park and mortuary in January, the LASD said.

A verdict has been reached in the non-jury trial of a Lancaster woman and her boyfriend who are charged with torturing and murdering her 10-year-old son Anthony Avalos.

A verdict has been reached in the trial of Heather Maxine Barron and her boyfriend, Kareem Ernesto Leiva, in the murder and torture of 10-year-old Anthony Avalos.

A judge is set to hear closing arguments Thursday in the trial of a Lancaster woman and her boyfriend, who are charged with murder and torture in connection with the death of her 10-year-old son Anthony Avalos. 

Wendy Wright said she called a child abuse hotline in October 2014 to report her concerns about Heather Maxine Barron because she felt a social worker was not taking her seriously.

Called to the stand in the murder trial of her father and his girlfriend, the 18-year-old woman testified that she remembered seeing Anthony dropped "multiple times" on the floor by his mother's boyfriend.

Less than three years before his death, 10-year-old Anthony Avalos told a school vice principal he had been abused by his mother, prompting a report to a child abuse hotline, the then-vice principal testified in the murder trial of the boy's mother and her boyfriend.

A nurse told an LA County judge she has seen hundreds of sick or injured children die while she has been on the job and that the mother of the late Anthony Avalos was one of the few who were not present in the hospital room when the child passed away.
