I'm Sydney Sumner. What began as a sunny Easter Sunday celebration in Long beach ended in a disturbing discovery that has left a local community in shock. At around 5pm yesterday, a family gathering at DeForest park took a tragic turn during an Easter egg hunt. Witnesses say children were scouring a dirt path for colorful eggs when they stumbled upon what appeared to be human remains. The family immediately alerted authorities, describing the find as a human skull, possibly that of a young child with smaller bones located nearby. Images from the scene were a stark contrast of holiday joy and grim reality, showing plastic Easter eggs scattered just feet away from the discovery site. Long beach police responded quickly, cordoning off the trail and calling in the Los Angeles County Medical examiner to take over the scene. Michael Fuentes was nearby celebrating with his own family when he overheard about their discovery. Walking our friends at ABC7 through what happened next.

We were literally like three spots down and the family was over there. They had put the eggs down and then the kids were finding them. And out of nowhere we just hear like, hey, dad, mom, there's some bones over there, you know, and yeah, we just everybody went over there. They called the police. And then that's when they showed up. And it was really tragic. I started crying. It hurt my soul, you know.

Neighbors who returned to the park later that evening expressed heartbreak not only for the person whose remains were found, but for the children who made the discovery. Local resident Christopher Kane called the incident terrible, noting that no child should ever have to witness something so haunting while simply trying to enjoy a holiday. At this hour, the Long Beach Police Department says the investigation is ongoing. The medical examiner's office is working to officially identify the remains and determine a cause of death. As of now, police have not released any information regarding how long the remains may have been in the park or if they are linked to any active missing persons cases. Violence erupted outside an East Harlem grocery store early Monday morning, ending in a Police involved shooting after a man allegedly charged at officers with a massive kitchen knife. According to the NYPD, the chaos began around 1:15am inside the City Fresh Market on East 120th Street. Police say a 53 year old man became irate and disorderly during a verbal argument with another person, forcing store employees to physically remove him from the building.
