A 29-year-old man has been charged with burglary in connection with a break-in at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ official residence. The incident occurred over the weekend while the mayor, her daughter, son-in-law, and newborn grandson were inside the house. The suspect, Ephraim Matthew Hunter, faces felony counts of burglary and vandalism, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
During a news conference, District Attorney George Gascón stated that they believe the suspect was targeting the mayor. Evidence suggests that the suspect knew he was in the mayor's home and was looking for her. The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear why Hunter would have been targeting the mayor.
