   The 21-year-old was last seen at her barracks at Naval Station Norfolk on May 29.

   The family received confirmation that the remains located by law enforcement Monday are Angelina's, according to a statement from her mother, Esmeralda Castle. In her statement, Castle also criticized the Navy's handling of this case, calling their response "minimal," saying they showed "little compassion or understanding." Castle went on to say the Navy's "callousness led to [Resendiz's] death, which cannot be tolerated."

   A Navy sailor, who was not identified, is being held in "pretrial confinement" in connection to Resendiz's death on Tuesday, according to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). Charges against them are pending.

   Around 6:30 a.m., police found a man and woman shot to death in the 1st Block of Capps Quarters. Police say they deemed the incident a "homicide/suicide" after learning that the man had contacted emergency communications stating he had shot his mother, then took his own life prior to officers arriving. Gilliland and his 86-year-old mother were later identified by police.

   City officials say Gilliland served on the Hampton City Council from July of 2002 to June of 2006. He then served as the city's vice mayor from July of 2006 to June of 2008, then served his second term on the council until June of 2010. He is listed as the director of philanthropy for a legal nonprofit called Equal Justice America. These groups sent statements to News 3 regarding Gilliland's passing and his impact on their respective communities.

   Under the directive of President Donald Trump, some 4,000 National Guard troops, along with 700 Marines, were dispatched to Los Angeles to help protect federal buildings and resources. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, along with other city officials, declared a curfew for a portion of downtown Los Angeles starting at 8 p.m. until 6 a.m.

   During a speech in North Carolina on Tuesday, Trump called protesters in Los Angeles "animals" and "a foreign enemy," promising to repel what he characterized as an invasion.

   California Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier Tuesday asked a federal court to block the Trump administration from using the National Guard and Marines to assist with immigration raids in Los Angeles, saying it would only heighten tensions. Other protests and demonstrations against ICE have popped up in Austin, Dallas, New York City, Boston, and Seattle. Trump said he was open to the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which would give him authority to deploy U.S. military forces domestically to address rebellion, unrest or certain other conditions.
