L.A.’s Very Own KTLA 5 helped the Los Angeles Police Department take a suspect into custody on Sunday.
LAPD Central Bureau Assistant Commanding Operations Officer Lillian L. Carranza confirmed early Sunday afternoon that a suspect featured in a video published to the KTLA website, YouTube and social media pages was caught after an “alert citizen” recognized the man on the news and called police.
The video in question depicted him kicking down the door of a home in L.A.’s Atwater neighborhood.
A resident in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Atwater shared Ring doorbell camera footage with KTLA that shows a man kicking down their home’s front door.

“After receiving the LAPD community crime alert and watching the [KTLA 5] morning news, a citizen called 911,” Carranza said on X . “Officers quickly responded and arrested the suspect.”
His name was not released, but he was described as a 44-year-old Hispanic man. The exact location of where he was arrested was also not disclosed.
The homeowner who provided the original video to KTLA says it depicted the eighth time the man had attempted to break into their residence and the first time he was able to make it inside. They were eventually able to chase him out of their home and call the police but remain understandably shaken.
