Karl Wesley, 44, died on December 8, 2024, in a Los Angeles hospital. The Los Angeles County coroner has identified him, but the official manner and cause of death remain under investigation and have not been determined.

Wesley had a prior arrest in Santa Monica in 2010; on May 20, 2010, he was booked for armed robbery and a probation violation after an incident earlier that month in which he allegedly brandished a firearm at a counter, demanded money, physically assaulted the victim, and fled with about $300. Bail at that time was set at $100,000.

If anyone has information about Wesley’s death, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department or the appropriate local law enforcement agency.
