A man wanted in connection with the killing of his girlfriend was captured Thursday in Minneapolis, Minn., authorities said.
Isaac Campbell, 32, of San Gabriel, was caught following a short foot pursuit, Sheriffs homicide Lt. Gil Carrillo said.
Detectives had been pursuing Campbell for nearly two weeks after discovering the body of his girlfriend Liya Lu, 31, in a trash can that had been dumped in an Arcadia backyard.
Im glad they caught him, said Lus friend William Moo, of Rosemead. I want to see justice done Thats all I can really process right now.

One day the PD promises more cooperation with our reporters on crime stories, the next day they are surly and uncooperative. What gives?
Very little information has been released in Tuesday’s shooting that left a man dead on Belmont Avenue.
Today a reporter called about an event he witnessed and got a bunch of attitude and no information. Thanks guys.

We’re all set to report an unusual rash of flag burnings in a Whittier neighborhood. The burnings, which have targeted the red, white and blue as well as garden flags, have been taking place since August, officials said.

Maybe yesterday’s letter writer had a point. There was a knockdown dragout at San Dimas High last night over (of all things) a girls vollyball game. I don’t know who won the match. Not sure I care. Parents are up in arms over at Fred Robledo’s blog, because he posted the photos. Some are saying its irresponsible to even talk about what happened. Really?
I’d say it’s irresponsible to take a match sooo seriously that it leads to a fight.
Check out the guy in the yellow San Dimas shirt, seems like he’s ready to go eh?

Prep Sports editor Fred Robledo gets some interesting mail He passed this along to me, thinking the writer might be more suited for true crime than prep sports.
