Canoga Park, CA — A quiet Canoga Park neighborhood turned into a scene on Thursday, August 7, 2025, as the FBI Fugitive Task Force, joined by LAPD SWAT, LAPD GND, and Valley Bureau Homicide detectives, swooped in to apprehend a 35-year-old murder suspect. The operation near Chase Street and International Avenue had residents on edge as law enforcement surrounded a local residence.
The standoff began around 10:30 a.m. when a woman and a young girl emerged from the home, followed 3 hours later by a boy after tense negotiations. As hours ticked by, tactical teams waited outside. At approximately 2:50 p.m., LAPD Swat deployed tear gas, prompting the suspect to surrender amid a haze of spicy smoke and the sound of controlled explosions. Details about the suspect and the murder case remain under wraps.
