Marshal, TikTok Figure Hurt in LA Traffic Stop

A federal marshal and Carlitos Ricardo Parias, 44, were wounded by gunfire during a Homeland Security enforcement stop in Los Angeles, officials said. After agents boxed in his car, Parias — described as an undocumented Mexican national — tried to flee, ramming vehicles; an agent fired, hitting Parias in the elbow, and a ricochet struck the marshal’s hand. Both were hospitalized; the marshal was stable and Parias was expected to recover. Parias, known online as “Richard LA,” was charged with assault on a federal officer and faces up to eight years if convicted. LAPD handled traffic control only.
