On the evening of December 10th, the police recieved a 911 call, regarding a masked male with a knife in the Idlewood Gas Station. Upon arrival, the male was leaning across the counter, holding a large knife towards the cashier. He was shouting, demanding for her to open the till and pass the money over. While she counted the money into a pile, an officer arrived on the scene. As the officer parked up, the suspect ran out of the gas station and got into a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria in Grey, speeding off from the gas station and into Idlewood. The Pursuit The suspect took officers on a pursuit through Idlewood and Ganton, mounting the sidewalk and running through countless red lights and stop signs. The pursuit continued for some time, before the suspect crashed his vehicle into a wall at Ocean Docks. Officers quickly surrounded the vehicle, holding the suspect at gunpoint and demanding that he dropped his knife. However, the male got out of his vehicle, and continued the pursuit on foot. He ran across Ocean Docks towards some stairs, where he scaled the stairs at speed. Once he reached the top, he stopped to catch a breath while the officers in pursuit caught up, and again held him at gunpoint. The suspect quickly kicked back into action and ran along a ledge, of which had a steep drop. As he prepared to scale down the ledge, he fell, twisting his ankle and bringing the pursuit to a close. Suspect Promptly Arrested Once the suspect had twisted his ankle, he was down on the ground. Officers ran around to hold the suspect at gunpoint again, looking to secure the knife and make an arrest. However, as officers surrounded the male, one attempted to collect the knife from the suspect. He was quick to handle the knife though, and made a slash towards the officer, cutting them slightly. The officer slashed was unknown at the time of writing, however it has been confirmed that the slash was only a flesh wound and a full recovery is expected. The male was arrested at the scene, and the cashier in the Idlewood Gas Station remains unharmed.

On December 11th, a dead body was discovered on the Desert Pass in Tierra Robada. The male who discovered the body, reported it via 911 to the relevant emergency services. Upon arrival to the bridge on Desert Pass, a lifeless body was laid across the wooden bridge. The Fire Department did their best to respond to the scene, to assess and tend to the male but they were too late, the male was already deceased. Upon assessment, it seems the male had suffered from either drowning or asphyxiation. Shaw News released an article on the discovery of the body, at 10:33pm. However, since then, nothing has happened with the body, or in the local area. Lack Of Investigation The body was discovered some time before we released the article. The fire department was on the scene ten minutes or so before Shaw News arrived, meaning the body had been laid out for over an hour, that we know of. However, at the time of the discovery, dispatch couldn’t find an available unit from the Police Department or a Detective. A sheriff was dispatched from the local area, to watch over the body, waiting for the prompt response of the police and/or detectives. But nearly twenty four hours later, the body is still laid, lifeless on the wooden bridge. Nobody has established a perimeter. Nobody has looked for further evidence as to how the male died. Nobody has identified the body. In a time where crime is expected to rise, it seems the police and detectives are falling behind. Since when was it acceptable for a body to be left? Lack Of Coroners With a body being discovered, and declared deceased, it would be standard practice that a coroner unit would be dispatched. Primarily to carry out a detailed analysis as to how the body became deceased, and the overall injuries. However, alongside the lack of detectives and the police, there was a lack of coroners too. The body remains on the wooden bridge, just waiting for somebody to show an interest. Losing Trust In Our Local Services The public have significantly lost trust in our emergency services. However, it seems that the loss of trust is continuing to decline. Over the last few weeks, we have seen; The public are in shock at the current state of our emergency services. What’s next? Concerned Local Resident, Lucy Jones “The discovery of a lifeless body on a bridge in Tierra Robada is a tragic incident that demands swift and thorough action. However, the response from our emergency services has exposed a worrying gap in their capabilities and commitment. It’s unacceptable that after the initial discovery, so little has been done to investigate what happened or bring clarity to this tragedy.” “This is not just about one case; it’s about the systemic issues within our emergency response and investigative processes. When a body is found under such suspicious circumstances, the public has a right to expect more than cursory checks and vague statements. We need a detailed investigation, transparency from authorities, and clear steps to ensure such oversights do not happen again.” “Our emergency services are vital to the safety and trust of the communities they serve. I call on the relevant authorities to address these failures immediately, provide answers to the public, and ensure that resources are allocated appropriately to prevent such incidents from being neglected in the future. Every life deserves dignity, and every case deserves justice.”

On November 22nd, we visited the fire department to understand the rumors around the failing command within the department. We spoke to a firefighter there, who informed us of the various issues relating to the Fire Department and how they were struggling with funding, faulty equipment and a lack of staff. Following that story, a new leadership team was appointed to the Fire Department, in order to make a difference. And they did, for a while. We saw an influx in new fire department colleagues and quick responses to calls across the county. However, the novelty has worn off. It seems the Fire Department has gone back to it’s old ways, with slow responses, a lack of staff and an increased risk on the public. Slow Response Times During the past week, we have seen two incidents where the Fire Department didn’t manage to respond in a reasonable time. The first one of these incidents relates to the Interstate Vehicle Fire. For context, a vehicle was on fire at the side of the interstate, with a male trapped inside. Shaw News was first on scene, and managed to fight some of the blaze with our on-board fire extinguishers. Quickly afterwards, an officer from the Los Santos Police Department arrived on scene, and began to help with the incident. However, the Fire Department didn’t respond to the call for over ten minutes. Upon arriving at the scene with a fire engine, the fire was promptly put out. However, the accompanying ambulance didn’t arrive on scene for a further 10 minutes. Overall, an RA didn’t arrive on the scene for an approx. 20 minutes from the time of the 911 call. Failing To Respond To A Suicide Call Following the Interstate Vehicle Fire, both the LSPD and the FD received a 911 call regarding a male on a bridge in Ganton. The male was struggling with his mental health, and threatening to jump and commit suicide. Upon arrival at the scene, we saw detectives and officers from the Los Santos Police Department, negotiating with the male. Shortly afterwards, Priest Ramirez arrived, and managed to talk the male down to safety. However, for the duration of the incident, the fire department didn’t respond once. The police were left to help with the male, and to provide support following the incident. Failure To Fulfill Their Duties Overall, the Fire Department have failed to fulfill their duties. With a lack of response to incidents and an overall slow response time, something needs to change. The public relies on the Los Santos Fire Department for both fire and medical incidents. Without an efficient, pro-active fire department, people become at risk, very quickly. Being a vital department in the city, we should see; Without these three main elements, the department shows signs of failing, like it is currently. Official Statements During our investigation into the Los Santos Fire Department and their actions, we requested statements from several people within the city. Those of who, require or have required the Los Santos Fire Department. Sergeant Whitelock, Los Santos Police Department As one of LSPDs representatives, I’d like to share with you the mutual feeling of frustration between me and other Law Enforcement Officers on Fire Department’s presence, or lack of thereof. As we all know, emergency services are meant to be prepared on the clock for any calls, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with the Fire Department, as their personnel have showed slow response times, or no response at all for that matter during high risk situations that we, as The Los Santos Police Department simply do not possess the proper equipment to deal with. The FD Personnel that do respond, often are simply not enough to do the job, as it requires the presence of multiple of them, therefore, subjecting said personnel to pressure, having them deal with With complex situations on their own with no back up. Lack of unity is going to come at a hefty price, as this field is no easy one. As you’ve mentioned in the examples above, the Fire Department personnel seem to be lacking discipline, letting only select, devoted individuals from the department handle all the heavy lifting, thus, setting a bad example, we honestly wish to see improvements, but if the current state that the FD is in currently continues, We don’t see anything changing anytime soon. Kind Regards,Chase WhitelockLos Santos Police Department. Carlos Marquez, Local Resident As a lifelong resident of Los Santos, I feel compelled to address a growing concern shared by many in our community about the Fire Department’s operations—or, more often, the lack thereof. Living in a city as fast-paced and unpredictable as Los Santos, we count on emergency services to be there when it matters most. Yet, time and again, the Fire Department seems to fall short. Whether it’s delayed response times or outright no-shows during critical incidents, it’s become clear that something needs to change. I’ve witnessed first responders from the LSPD and EMS stepping up under incredible pressure, often without the specialized resources only the Fire Department can provide. It’s unfair to everyone involved—our emergency crews and, most importantly, the citizens whose lives hang in the balance. When firefighters do show up, it’s often a skeleton crew, overwhelmed by the scale of the emergencies they face. This doesn’t just leave them overworked and vulnerable; it also risks the safety of everyone relying on them. For a team meant to exemplify coordination and bravery, the lack of cohesion within their ranks is disheartening. It’s especially frustrating to see a few dedicated individuals carrying the load while others seem content to coast. This imbalance creates division and sets a poor precedent for an organization that should operate as a unified front. We need to see real accountability and reform in the Fire Department. Until that happens, I fear the safety and trust of Los Santos residents will remain in jeopardy. Let’s hope they rise to the challenge—for all our sakes.

On December 10th, we received a statement from The Los Santos Weather Office in relation to the Three Day Downpour, expected to hit Los Santos on the 13th. We have reached the 13th and the downpour has started. Los Santos is being hit with heavy rain, thundering and lightening. The roads are saturated and an increased risk for road users. The data from the Los Santos Weather Office speculates that Los Santos will see 4cm of rain per hour, for the next few days. This is expected to occur in showers, and shouldn’t be constant rain, however this is subject to change and pure speculation. If you have plans that involve the outdoors, we would reccomend that you postpone those plans until the weather improves. Remain indoors where possible, and dry.

A few months ago, Isabella Rossi went missing following an incident with her works vehicle, in the ocean docks. She was missing for some time, before she was found dead. However, it seems history is repeating itself. James Puckett, Special Federal Agent has also gone missing, confirmed by unofficial sources. Following an incident earlier today involving some close individuals, Puckett has gone missing, supposedly in a Dodge Hellcat. He was last seen in the Idlewood Area, before going missing completely. Attempts to contact Puckett have been unsuccessful so far. SSA Kallstrom from the FBI has been assigned to the case, following reports of an abandoned vehicle in East Beach. It appears that a vehicle has been abandoned in the road, since Puckett has gone missing. While information is limited at this time, we are investigating the matter. Clock Is Ticking As we know with Special Agent Rossi, the clock is ticking. If you see, or hear from Special Agent Puckett, we urge you to get in contact with the relevant authorities. Likewise, if you see a dark color Dodge Hellcat, perhaps acting suspicious, then report it in. A life is potentially at risk here. Think about Isabella Rossi and do the right thing.
