A Los Angeles criminal street gang member who starred in a rap music video about “flocking” — a slang term for breaking into a home to burglarize it — was ordered last week to stand trial on four counts of residential burglary and one count of street terrorism in Ventura County, authorities said. Darren King, 28, was picked up by Los Angeles police earlier this year. He went missing in 2016 after he had been arrested for the Simi Valley burglaries that occurred on Aug. 14, 2015, then posted bail and failed to appear in court, according to Simi Valley police. A $1 million warrant had been issued for his arrest.

California Supreme Court Upholds Death For Child Killer
California's Supreme Court has upheld the death penalty for a mentally ill man who killed and dismembered a 12-year-old boy in Orange County. John Ghobrial, a one-armed panhandler who'd been diagnosed with serious mental illness, was convicted of strangling Juan Delgado in La Habra in 1998. Prosecutors said Ghobrial dismembered the boy and put his remains in concrete cylinders he left around the area. They said Ghobrial had been overheard threatening to kill the boy and eat his genitals, which were never found. The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that despite Ghobrial's history of bizarre behavior, his trial judge wasn't required to hold a mental competency hearing.
