slain

It wasn't until 12 days later that the news emerged in a flurry of national headlines, after council workers found the slain tree in Whitewebbs Park.

The slain man, 40-year-old Yong Yang, had been diagnosed as bipolar and was acting erratically inside his family’s apartment when the shooting occurred.

The wife of a slain fire captain was arrested in Mexico over the weekend and pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder.

Some of those suggested improvements — such as expanding de-escalation policies and training deputies to better identify people with mental health conditions — mirror issues the slain man’s family raised in a lawsuit filed late last year.

The wife of slain Cal Fire Capt. Rebecca Marodi was arrested Saturday in Mexicali and transferred to U.S. marshals in San Diego, where she will be booked on suspicion of murder, authorities said.
