KCAL via CNNLOS ANGELES — For the past three years, one Hollywood resident has rallied thousands of people to join his petition to remove one of the most controversial red and gold stars along the Walk of Fame — former President Donald Trump’s.“What city in America should be honoring anyone who attempted a coup against the United States,” activist Andrew Rudick said. “It’s as simple as that, and if you think it deserves honor, you should be able to defend every statement that this man has made.”Rudick has garnered more than 4,200 signatures since starting the petition aimed at removing Trump’s name from Hollywood Boulevard in 2020.

At Lopez’s recent preliminary hearing, the defense insisted he traveled to the Cantus’ home simply looking for answers to the tragedy, but that a deadly confrontation somehow ensued.But police testimony painted a picture of a chilling plot that involved not just Lopez allegedly shooting Cantu outside the family’s home on the 7600 block of Sunset Avenue of Newark, but driving by the area days earlier to case the place.
