Federal prosecutors say Kenya Jones, 46, of Compton, was part of a $93M COVID-19 tax fraud ring accused of filing fake pandemic relief claims for real and bogus businesses. Jones, a recruiter in the scheme, allegedly helped bring in “clients” and later, with another suspect, tried to silence the ringleader by shooting him. Turner, the alleged mastermind, survived but was paralyzed. Jones faces fraud, firearms, and attempted murder charges.

A Compton gas station has been looted multiple times by large mobs, causing over $200,000 in damages. Owner Ali Misaghi says employees are traumatized and law enforcement has failed to respond.
