South El Monte

A 16-year-old boy was arrested Friday on suspicion of running over and killing a man who was trying to stop shoplifters at his brother’s store in South El Monte early this month, authorities said.

A jury has awarded $48 million to six former students of a South El Monte elementary school who were sexually abused by a longtime teacher.

A man was killed in the city of South El Monte Wednesday afternoon while attempting to stop a shoplifter, authorities said.

California Highway Patrol responded at 3:52 p.m. to reports of racing between several motor bikes and dirt bikes on the westbound 60 Freeway at Rosemead Boulevard near South El Monte.

The gem eventually ended up in the hands of an investor, who reported it missing from a South El Monte vault a few years later, according to previous Times coverage.
