911 call released in theft of Beyoncé's unreleased music
On Monday night, Channel 2's Michael Seiden obtained the 911 call placed by Christopher Grant after he discovered someone had broken into his Jeep Wagoneer at 99 Krog Street.
'Someone broke into my car,' Grant told the dispatcher. 'I was parked in a garage while I went to a restaurant. But they stole, like my computers and everything, but it has the tracker on it.'
Grant told the dispatcher that he's using the 'Find My' app to track his stolen devices.
'They have my computers, and it's really, really important information in there,' he said. ' I work with someone who's like of a high status, and I really need the, um, my computer and everything.'

Police said they are following up on multiple leads. Investigators tracked the items to an undisclosed location where the headphones were pinging, according to the incident report.
'I conducted a suspicious stop in the area, due to the information that was relayed to me,' an officer wrote in the report. 'There were several cars in the area also that the AirPods were pinging to in that area also. After further investigation, a silver (redacted), which had traveled into zone 5 was moving at the same time as the tracking on the AirPods.'
Seiden learned the name of the person that police have questioned, but Channel 2 will not name them until they are named a suspect or charged with a crime.

LA County awards $14 million to man who wrongfully served 20 years in prison
A Paramount man who spent 20 years behind bars for a wrongful murder conviction was awarded $14 million by Los Angeles County on Tuesday. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the millions from the budgets of the Sheriff's Department and the District Attorney's Office to settle the wrongful conviction lawsuit of Alexander Torres. Torres was arrested in 2001 for the Paramount shooting death of a rival gang member. The 20-year-old was convicted of second-degree murder six months later and was sentenced to 40 years to life in state prison. He insisted he was innocent, and key evidence proving that someone else committed the killing led to his release from prison in 2021 -- after he had already served 20 years behind bars. The Innocence Project asked a judge for a finding of "factual innocence," stating that there wasn't any evidence that pointed to Torres's guilt, but rather that "a preponderance of the evidence" proved his innocence. Torres was accused of jumping out of a car and shooting rival gang member, Martin Guitron on Dec. 31, 2000, in Paramount. He was arrested on Jan. 18, 2001, and he admitted to investigators that he had confrontations with Guitron, but said he did not leave his house the night of the shooting. Torres was identified as a suspect, primarily based on eyewitness testimony from two people, who had conflicting accounts of who the shooter was. After his murder conviction, a private investigator hired by Torres' brother in 2006 interviewed the driver of the getaway car, who named another person as the shooter. The county's "Summary Corrective Action Plan" listed a series of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department investigative oversights and errors as justification for the settlement, including "Homicide Investigators' failure to follow proper investigative protocols regarding evidence and witness interviews."

Arch Manning is comfortable in the spotlight, but wants to earn it: ‘Talk is cheap'
ATLANTA — It was, Arch Manning would say later, good to get away from everybody. A boys' trip, he and his three best friends from high school went to San Diego on a long weekend this summer. They played some golf, hit the town, went to a Padres game. And never dealt with anyone recognizing him. 'No!' Manning said, his face brightening. 'It was kind of refreshing. It felt great.' Advertisement Not that he has a problem dealing with fame. Not growing up as Archie Manning's grandfather. Not growing up as Peyton and Eli Manning's nephew. Not even the past few years, as he became the nation's top football recruit, then the nation's top backup quarterback. That was when the fame got annoying. Manning would walk to class on the University of Texas campus and people would take his picture, ask for selfies. He hadn't done anything for his team yet, didn't like the attention. So he would call his mom on the way to class, or pretend to be on the phone. The not playing part was harder. He knew it was a strong possibility when he chose Texas, which had Quinn Ewers for one, maybe two years — it was two, it turns out. For Manning to go there anyway, for the five-star to be the backup for two years in the day of the transfer portal, oh, everyone talked about Manning's maturity and unselfishness. What most didn't see was Manning, as a freshman, venting in the film room to Paul Chryst, the former Wisconsin coach who was on Texas' staff. 'It was an hour of me watching film — and an hour of me venting,' Manning said. Those darker days in a darkened film room are gone. The spotlight, and the pressure that goes with it, has returned. The Arch Manning era is underway. 'Arch Manning will be at Position 2 in the front of the room,' said the moderator in the main room at SEC media days on Tuesday. And with that, a horde of media formed around Position 2, the biggest scrum of the first two days, probably all week. Rows deep of people trying to get camera shots. One media member kept trying to get on the stage to get a better shot, despite repeated warnings. Talking ball 🎙️ @ArchManning — Texas Football (@TexasFootball) July 15, 2025 'I'm not gonna tell you again,' an SEC staffer said, as the reporter sheepishly got down. Yes, he's a Manning, which is a big part of it. But the attention also comes from being talked about as a Heisman front-runner and the possible No. 1 pick in the draft. Preseason accolades that confound detractors, such as … Arch Manning. Advertisement 'I'm not really sure how they get these opinions. I've only played what, two games,' he said. 'I guess that's nice to say. But you know, that doesn't mean anything. Talk is cheap, I've gotta go prove it.' There's a lot still to play out. There's no assurance the hype is real. But if Manning plays as well as he interviews, he's going to be fine. The affability of his grandfather and uncles has rubbed off. So has the comfort before a camera, to a point. 'They're better actors than me,' he said. What Arch does have on his uncles is that he's a better runner, as the world saw last year when he served as a change-of-pace quarterback, subbed in when Steve Sarkisian wanted his Texas offense to give the defense a different look. A plot twist for the nephew of two pocket quarterbacks, who have said that speed skips a generation. Unfairly, according to their nephew. Sarkisian said Manning probably won't 'major' in running as the now-permanent starter. But it does give the offense flexibility, and Manning's knowledge of the system, and game snaps, mean Sarkisian can keep the playbook open. 'We've got a sense and a feel of things that he does really well,' Sarkisian said. 'And we can highlight those things all while still staying true systematically to who we are.' Sarkisian also spoke about Manning's calmness and quick wit, something that will help in what should be a long season: Texas has a mammoth opener, at defending national champion Ohio State, then has an SEC slog that includes a November trip to Georgia, and then potentially the College Football Playoff. The pressure may now be on Manning. But it may be that the long wait to play has Manning feeling less pressure and more relief to be playing again. 'You've got to walk the walk first. As much as it wasn't always fun sitting the first two years, I've got a lot of respect for my teammates, who were playing,' he said. 'Now I come at it from a place of love, not just being a turd.' Advertisement The last word made reporters laugh, as they kept doing during an extended session with Manning. Across the room, Texas safety Michael Taaffe noticed. 'I didn't know that he was very funny,' Taaffe said. 'So I think you're kind of giving us some pity laughs.' He was joking. Manning has too many role models to not be good at this. 'And I think his granddad always told him 'the shorter the better,'' Taaffee said. Short but still revealing enough. Like when Manning acknowledged that while he doesn't post much on social media, he does check it often. Enough so that someone online — Robert Ratliff, a former walk-on player at Ole Miss — offered him $20 if he didn't check it for an entire week. Manning took him up on the offer, and deleted his apps before coming to Atlanta. 'So I won't know if I did good or bad in these interviews,' he said. 'Till Sunday.' The reviews for this should be good. The actual football? Well, it's finally time to find out. 'I'm ready to roll,' Manning said.
