Actor escapes attempted robbery at Sherman Oaks home

It was a tense situation early Wednesday at the San Fernando Valley home of actor and former BET host Terrence Jenkins, better known as "Terrence J."

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. - It was a tense situation early Wednesday at the San Fernando Valley home of actor and former BET host Terrence Jenkins, better known as "Terrence J."

With an alarm going off and a woman locked in her bedroom waiting for police to rescue her, fearing she was about to be the victim of a home invasion, the actor was being chased less than a mile away by a crew of "follow-home" robbers who were shooting at him.

The real-life drama played out on the streets of Sherman Oaks, a suburb of Los Angeles, just before 3 a.m., according to police. Jenkins and a passenger were returning from Hollywood and pulled up to his home when they suddenly found themselves blocked in by an SUV filled with masked men, police said.

Actor and former BET host Terrence Jenkins escaped what he said was an attempted robbery at his home in Sherman Oaks Wednesday after a group of armed suspects followed him to his residence.

One of them ordered the actor out of the car at gunpoint but Jenkins managed to drive off, police said. The suspects followed — and at least one began shooting at Jenkins’ vehicle, according to police. No injuries were reported.

When Jenkins spotted a California Highway Patrol car, he flagged police down for help.

Meanwhile, fearing more suspects could be inside the home, Los Angeles Police Department officers moved quickly to clear the house. No suspects were found and the woman inside was unhurt.

Later in the day, police detained a woman and arrested a man at a Best Western in Inglewood in connection with the crime; at least three other suspects are still outstanding.

Earlier this week, the LAPD put out a bulletin warning people of a disturbing crime trend they’re seeing, which they described as "follow-home robberies." In these circumstances, victims are targeted as they leave upscale restaurants and are followed home to be robbed by a crew of criminals.

The LAPD is warning residents to be extra mindful and on guard after a recent spike of robberies across Los Angeles.

"People need to be aware of the surroundings, especially leaving nightclubs, restaurants and what have you," said LAPD Sgt. Hector Olivera moments after helping clear Jenkins home.

"It seems that the suspects are targeting individuals that either have expensive jewelry, expensive cars, and things of that nature," Olivera added.

As for the suspects, Jenkins and his passenger described them as four Black men, all dressed in black and driving a silver Jeep Cherokee.

LAPD’s elite Robbery-Homicide Division has taken over the case.

People need to start baiting and laying ambushes; thugs follow people home, bust into a darkened room and are lit up. Teach them doubt and hesitation and fear.

The outdoor restaurant robbery and now this, the blowback will be epic

94 crime bill did not come out of the blue and it had the support of the black community for a reason.

I am from LA and Wack is extorting several rappers out here and NY and no one has done shyt to him except Nipseys bodyguard dope fiending him. Wack came up in YA fighting every nikka from every gang every race. That’s how he earned his rep. Wack got y’all in y’all feelings I know, but he’s tougher than you and if he wasn’t from the Valley nikkas wouldn’t cry about him so much. But that’s all nikkas do is cry, he’s running around doing whatever he wants for years.

His street rep as an internet gangster ain't protect him here

 

[Robbie3000]

Maybe we need some violent criminals to get their hands chopped off from their bodies. Maybe then, they can rob only tires and donuts, while rocking a diaper because they can no longer wipe their own asses

Hell naw. Donuts and tires.

 

[JetFueledThoughts]

Yeah the rich person who got robbed obviously could afford it too

Could give less of a fukk

Lack of empathy here is crazy

94 crime bill did not come out of the blue and it had the support of the black community for a reason.

Because Black elders from the church supported the crime bill.

Congressman Major Owens in Brooklyn called for the National Guard to be brought in at the time to restore order.

The nikka Generation, largely born after 1975 and up until today, raised on the crime and sex celebration values emphasized in Paid In Full, Belly, State Property 1/2, The Wire, Power (and its derivatives),
NWA, Death Row, Murder Inc, Set If Off, Players Club, etc -- cannot relate to older folks raised with Church values who wanted to live without their lives being in danger.

Those who are anti-snitching, what's your solution to this? If the people who know the perps aren't turning them in, who will?

90% of the time someone gets unjustly blamed for this shyt it's because a stranger misidentified them, so we'd all be a lot better off if our communities fully rejected this bullshyt and turned in the actual perps ourselves.

This here. If this was one of my little cousins I'd have to turn him in. There are certain lines you don't cross and this is one of them.

 

[Micky Mikey]

there's gonna be a nationwide blowback and it won't be pretty

The ground work is already being put in place for a complete ultra-right takeover. This type of stuff only provides more ammunition to their plight. Any time we make a little bit of progress knuckleheads like these two bring us back to square one. No one wants to live in fear and the radical right are experts when it comes to weaponizing fear and using it to usher in repressive policies.

 

[Robbie3000]

In terms of overall crime, what does the data say?

Its up overall. Especially homicides. Some cities are seeing record number of homicides not seen since the early 90s.

That worries me because rise in crime follows a cycle. 1970s-1990s crime rose. 90s - 2010s crime fell.

The fall out from a rise in crime is fukked up as we saw with declining cities in the 1970s, more concentrated areas of poverty and crime, draconian laws, fear, etc.

Where you think "the nikka Generation" came from? Space? Those saintly elders produced them.

Nope.

The nikka Generation came from supreme marketing tactics by the Jerry Hellers of media partnering with drug dealer and gang culture.

Selling young Black male street crime life as a leading content revenue driver for 30 years plus.

Exactly, who the fukk opens their gate to their multimillion dollar LA home surrounded by poverty and structural inequality

What kinda dumbass would even own one

 

[HarlemHottie]

My mother was robbed while holding me in 1982. They were kind enough to give her back her keys. These things happen and should not be a reason for us stand idly and/ or cheer while wp institute a new and improved, post patriot act, 5g- enabled raft of unconstitutional Negro Codes (which any crime bill passed in the country inevitably becomes).

Anybody in here claiming to be a "realist," ie, "Well, that's just what the white man gon do, can't nobody stop him. nikkas gotta stop robbing," is advocating submission to the white supremacist power structure. Instead of practicing full civic involvement, like forming a bloc to get desired changes made to local governance and budgets, they'd rather sacrifice black teenagers and young ppl to the angry (white) god in hope of appeasement.

Its disgusting and the reason why black youth dont respect old nikkas.

@No1 You see this thread? This is why I don't give a fukk if they overturn Affirmative Action, let these dudes kids enter the public sector and academic gauntlet without the wind behind their back.

You have a link regarding crime increasing overall?
