 DA Hochman Announces Felony Charges Against Trio in Major Fentanyl Bust
 District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman announced that felony charges were filed against three individuals — including two siblings — accused of possessing a total of more than 50 pounds of fentanyl with an intent to sell.
“Fentanyl remains the leading cause of death in accidental drug overdose cases in Los Angeles County,” District Attorney Hochman said. “Just one kilo of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people. A 50-pound seizure of fentanyl is greater than all the fentanyl seized at the U.S.-Canadian border in 2024, which was 43 pounds. We will be unrelenting in our pursuit to end this tragedy and bring justice to the countless families who have lost loved ones to fentanyl.”

 After Decline in Child Homicides, DA Hochman Discusses Further Safeguarding Our Children
 Child homicides in LA County have dropped by more than 70% over the past 30 years, according to a report by the Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect (ICAN). This significant decline may be attributed in part to the critical work of the council, which brings together law enforcement, medical professionals, social services, and more — all united in the fight to end child abuse.
District Attorney Hochman, co-chair of ICAN’s Policy Committee alongside Sheriff Robert G. Luna, met with leaders from across the county to review action items and discuss new recommendations to further protect our children.
