Man accused of Aniah Blanchard killing to face trial on capital murder charges

The man charged with the killing Aniah Blanchard in October 2019 will now face trial. Ibraheem Yazeed faces three charges of capital murder for allegedly kidnapping and murdering Blanchard, the stepdaughter of former UFC heavyweight Walt Harris. Yazeed will face trial March 2 in Macon County (Ala.) court, according to the Montgomery Advertiser. What happened to Aniah Blanchard? Blanchard, 19, was a college student at Auburn University when she went missing. Her disappearance was reported and an extensive search from authorities and volunteers ensued. Through surveillance camera and witness interviews, police concluded Blanchard and Yazeed ran into one another at a local convenience store. Footage showed Yazeed entering and exiting Blanchard's car. Yazeed, then 29, was eventually located and arrested. Blanchard's remains were located, as was her car. A "life-threatening amount of blood" was found in the vehicle. An autopsy showed Blanchard was shot to death. At the time of the alleged murder, Yazeed was out on $295,000 bail for multiple charges, including kidnapping and attempted murder from a prior incident. Since his arrest, Yazeed has been incarcerated without bond. He faces the death penalty. Aniah's Law Following Blanchard's death, "Aniah's Law" was passed in Alabama. The amendment tweaked laws that said only capital offenders would not have a right to reasonable bail. "Aniah's Law" added a series of serious crimes for which bail would not be allowed for accused offenders, like Yazeed was. Such offenses include first-degree rape, sexual torture, sodomy, terrorism, robbery, human trafficking and more.

Man taken into custody after pursuit, Costco parking lot standoff in Los Angeles

A man was taken into custody after a pursuit turned into an hourslong standoff in the parking lot of a Costco in Los Angeles, authorities confirmed. The incident started at about 10:45 a.m. when a van was spotted in the Elysian Park area with the word "bomb" written on the side, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. When officers arrived, they began following the vehicle. When the driver refused to obey a traffic stop, a pursuit ensued. The pursuit lasted less than 10 minutes before the driver came to a stop in the Costco parking lot on the 2900 block of Los Feliz Boulevard in the Atwater Village neighborhood of L.A. Because of the "bomb" text, and other concerning messaging located on the outside of the van, police evacuated parts of the area as a standoff began. LAPD said officers were able to make some contact with a man who was inside the van, but it took hours of communication with mental health professionals to get him to exit. He was then taken into custody. The man was not believed to be armed, the LAPD said. It's believed that the man, who remains unidentified, could've been living inside the van. Authorities said on Monday afternoon that the lot could remain closed for hours as the LAPD works to clear the scene.
