Disclaimer: The article contains mentions of murder and abuse. Reader discretion is advised. In August 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills residence. Reports indicate that Lyle called 911 after killing his parents and told the dispatcher that someone murdered them. Investigators then arrived at the crime scene and interrogated the siblings. After initiating an investigation, they soon received a tip that prompted the authorities to arrest the siblings. The court found the Menendez Brothers guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced them to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Currently, they are serving their sentence in a prison in California.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
