King City Police Department Looks into Threats Against December 6 King City Christmas Parade

On December 6, 2024, the King City Police Department received a call regarding possible threats of gang

violence that may occur during the scheduled Christmas Parade. The information came from a single

reporting person. The reporting person indicated he was walking in the area of the King City Cemetery on

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 in the afternoon. As he passed a male talking on a cellular phone, he

thought he overheard the male tell the person on the other end of the line that he wanted to retaliate for

the recent gang shootings. The male on the phone did not name a particular target but did indicate it

would occur at an intersection on the parade route.

Responding officers conducted a thorough investigation into the information provided by the reporting

person and were unable to substantiate the validity of the information provided. While the investigation

is ongoing and not yet conclusive, the evidence thus far does not support the information to be credible.

The King City Police Department ensures community that they are doing everything they can to

ensure that the King City Christmas parade on December 6 is safe and enjoyable for everybody in attendance. In addition to the King City PD's normally

scheduled patrol personnel, they will have an additional 12 officers patrolling the parade route.

They will also be assisted by officers from the Greenfield Police Department, Monterey County Sheriff’s

Office, California Highway Patrol and security officers provided by Benitez Security.

Everyone is encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity you may observe while

attending the parade. Anyone with any additional information is encouraged to contact King City Chief of Police James Hunt with the King City Police Department at (831) 385-4848; or Monterey County Communications at 831-385-8311. Your call may remain completely anonymous.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau. Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.
