Santa Monica’s violent crime wave claimed another victim Saturday when a woman was beaten to death inside a residential care facility for adults with mental illness and developmental disabilities, just days after a fatal shooting near the Santa Monica Pier. The killing marks the city’s fifth homicide of 2026, already surpassing the four murders recorded during all of 2025 and adding to growing concerns over violent crime. Santa Monica police responded to The Manor, a state-licensed Adult Residential Facility at 1905 Pico Blvd.
