Beverly Hills City Council voted unanimously on Jan. 4 to support the recall of embattled Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón.

“Over the last 12 months, Los Angeles County has seen a dramatic increase in widespread crime including follow-home robberies, smash-and-grab incidents and the tragic death of beloved Beverly Hills philanthropist Jacqueline Avant,” Beverly Hills spokesman Keith Sterling said in a statement following the decision.
