10:35 pm
2000, 11 that was attacked there by a 2 men who both received prison sentences. like i mentioned in this story, kind of gives you that feel again. that's why they're hoping anyone can come forward. and, of course, a share any information we have to imagine after situation like this, they are ready beefed up security that we can tell you is probably going to enhance even more come super bowl sunday. that was my question with the super bowl right around the corner. are city leaders also issuing any warnings? are they talking about any concerns for safety? >> this is a big event that's coming to la in just a couple of weeks. >> it is a massive event. so far they cleaned up the area all around englewood around. so fi stadium put up new fencing. they've had more security guards at each one of the entrance. that's what we've noticed so far. we know that inside the fence is they've added as much security personnel as possible on game day. they did so for the nfc championship game and they plan to do so. even more for the super bowl, unfortunately, still have the incident
