Merchants saying that they really feel that city officials arent doing anything to address the crime as these criminals repeatedly target their businesses. Dozens of Business Owners gathered tuesday to strike against crime in oakland and the citys response to Public Safety. Their stories all similar from car breakins to robberies and assaults for about 4 or 5 years. We call them. Nobody showed up for 15 minutes for 911 calls and if we could do the regular calls, its good luck to you. They say just make a police report.

Nigel jones shared pictures of his jamaican restaurant, kingston, 11, that was broken into two weeks ago, the third time in roughly the past year. He and others joined the strike from 10 a. M. To noon, taking a brief hit to their bottom line. But its okay, you know, because if we dont take a hit today, you know, were going to take a bigger hit as we move forward. If the situation is not being dealt with in a very effective way. And lakeville will close at the end of the month with crime, a contributing factor, people packed a longtime vietnamese restaurant to show their support for the oakland staple. Business owners are calling for more resources like an increase in officers, more support from city, county, state and federal governments. And for oakland to declare a state of emergency, it comes as oakland recently failed to get millions of dollars in state funds to target retail theft because officials missed the deadline to apply. We dont want to waste time blaming anybody. We want to do something more positive. So today we want to also focusing on the solutions, what we can do together to make positive changes. People cant wait much longer the moment they pull in. I knew right away. So i pull my gun right away like this group of Business Owners who work in oaklands little saigon, nolan wong says they track the daily crime in a whatsapp thread, counting more than 45 incidents in the past 45 days. They may get caught at some day. They dont get prosecute it.

Julie Cristina Rendon reporting. Christina, before we let you go, what are the mayor or elected leaders in oakland, how are they responding to these hundreds of Business Owners shutting down their businesses because they just dont feel safe and they say theres just too much crime in oakland . Yeah, we reached out to the Mayors Office. We did not hear back today from our request. But we do know that she put out a statement prior to todays one day strike saying that she welcomes the opportunity to meet with any Business Owners who want to work on solutions together. She also says shes been meeting with Community Groups to fund initiatives that deter crime. But again, this was just a statement and our calls and our emails went unreturned. All right, christina, thank you. Well, to karate instructors stopped an attempted carjack jacking in oakland. It happened last month on piedmont avenue.

President biden made History Today by becoming the first sitting us president in in the modern era to walk a picket line. The president joins striking united autoworkers at a General Motors Parts Distribution warehouse near detroit. This is the 12th day of the strike. The uaw is demanding 40 pay increases. Traditional pensions and protections against job losses and plants closing at their production shifts to electric vehicles. President biden encouraged the striking workers to continue fighting for better wages. Wall street didnt build the country. The middle class built the country. Unions built the middle class. Thats a fact. So lets keep going. You deserve what youve earned and youve earned a of a lot more than youre getting paid now. Thank you very much. The uaw strike expands ended into 20 states last week at 38. General motors and stellantis plants. Ford factories were spared due to progress pressing negotiations. The president touching down in the south bay a little more than an hour ago. Traffic there in that area could be a problem this evening because mr. Biden is in route to a fundraiser in atherton. Ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary is live now at Moffett Field in Mountain View with more on the president ial visit. Jesse. Is president s third visit to california in just the past six months. Now he was scheduled to touch down just a little bit before 4 00 in the afternoon. But around 315 in the afternoon, you look out over the horizon and you see air force one coming in over the horizon, headed into Moffett Field. Lets take a look at our video. A smooth touchdown for the president s plane here at Moffett Field around. 345 or 315 in the afternoon. So about 30 minutes early. Once on the ground, the aircraft always goes all the way to the end of the runway and then kind of does a loop, comes back, taxis back to the receiving area. Mr. Biden exited from the lower level of the aircraft where he met with Santa Clara County board of supervisors president susan ellenberg. Then the president walked across the tarmac for some personal time with several dozen supporters who had come out to greet him. We talked with two of those supporters who were eager and happy to see mr. Biden face to face. I shared with the president that i had changed my citizenship to vote for him in obama in 2012, and he just reached in and gave me a hug. So it was very exciting. Just thrilled to have met him. I told him how happy i was to have an adult as president and was looking forward to him running again and looking forward to voting for him again because he must not be reelected in 2024. Campaign is part of the reason mr. Biden is in town for two days after leaving moffat field just a few minutes ago, hes headed off to atherton for a private fundraiser this evening. Then wednesday, the president will hold a meeting with some advisers on science and technology policy. And then, before departing wednesday to more fundraisers. So hes very busy. And as i said, just left Moffett Field just a short time ago. Police, both chp and local police blocked off the intersection. This is moffett boulevard. They blocked off the intersection. And so if you are traveling in the south bay this evening, headed home or you know someone who is, youre expected them expecting them home for dinner be advised that traffic is going to get snarled in the areas where the president is moving. So thats going to be a little bit of a headache this evening because of the president s movements and because of the Security Associated with that. Well have more for you coming up when we do our west coast wrap at 7 00. For now, live here at Moffett Field in Mountain View, jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news.

The race for mayor in San Francisco became even more crowded today as a San Francisco native and city hall outsider officially filed his paperwork. Ktvu is christian captain joins us live tonight from city hall with more on the story. Christian yeah. San franciscos mayor is now facing another challenger for her office, daniel lurie formally announced his candidacy today before a packed house in San Franciscos potrero hill. Daniel lurie announced that he is officially in the race to lead San Francisco running for mayor in 2024. For lurie says the city has thrown money at homelessness, drug use and crime, but they seem to be issues current leaders cant resolve. This is not a crisis of resources. This is a crisis of leadership. Up you. The heir to the levis fortune, says his experience leading the nonprofit Tipping Point aimed at tackling poverty has given him the tools to cut through San Franciscos notorious bureaucracy. He i have a track record of bringing diverse teams together diverse groups together, and getting big things done for the people of San Francisco. Lurie joins a crowded field with 29 candidates now having declared their intention to run for mayor. District 11 supervisor asha safai announced his candidacy in may. Safety also topping his list of concerns, is on the steps of city hall tuesday. He proposed an ordinance calling on San Franciscos police chief to increase foot and bike patrols throughout the city to combat crime. He says the problems start at the top and every day San Francisco talk about the crime that theyre experiencing in this city and what were missing is leadership. What were missing is leadership from the Mayors Office for her part, the citys current mayor, london breed, tuesday backed new legislation requiring drug users to seek treatment in order to receive general assistance benefits. Mayor breed says she knows that some wont like the new plan, but she says its critical the city change things up. And that begins with accountability. While more work is needed, she says her administration is making progress. Weve helped almost 10,000 people exit homeless ness. These would be people that would otherwise be on our streets, as san franciscans will have more than a year to make their decision about the next mayor, voters approved proposition h last year, which moved the dates of the citys Mayoral Election to align with president ial election years. That is expected to boost the number of voters selecting the next mayor. Were live in San Francisco. Christien kafton ktvu fox two news and christian San Francisco is usually vote, you know, to promote from within city hall. You know, im wondering if political insiders actually think an outsider of city government, even with a lurie name, you know, can win the office. Well, thats the 64,000 question, isnt it, mike . At this point, no one knows. He the talk in the room was that he seemed to be a strong candidate. But of course, its going to take some time to see how he tests out how his press appearances go, what his policy directives are. We asked for some specifics today and didnt get a lot of specifics right away. So once we start getting down to the nitty gritty, the voters get their say, perhaps well see a little bit more about how this race might shape up for 2024. No doubt. An interesting year there in San Francisco. Christian captain live in the city. Christian, thank you. More details now on mayor breeds Treatment Initiative for people who struggle with Substance Abuse and receive Financial Support from the city. Under the proposal, people with a suspected Substance Use disorder would be required to participate in drug use screenings and treatment programs funded by the city. Individuals who refuse or do not successfully engage in treatment would not be eligible to receive cash assistance. This comes as the mayor says San Francisco is on track to reach a Record Number of Drug Overdose deaths. This is an incentive to get them into a treatment program, into a program that will help save their life. And thats what this is about. Treatment programs would include a range of interventions, including outpatient options, medical assisted detox and abstinence based treatment, depending on the needs of the client. The legislation still must be approved by the board of supervisors, the board of supervisors president aaron peskin released a statement critical of the mayors proposal , saying in part, if she cant find a way to prevent several hundred brazen criminals from selling deadly drugs, how does she think she will find the resources to drug test thousands of welfare recipient . Its still ahead, new details tonight about the critical clue that helped authorities connect the dots in a decades old cold case that stunned a Solano County community. Vta driver recovering from a broken nose and a passenger is under arrest. Still to come, what police are saying tonight about what happened and whos at fault. But first, the latest on the push to bring back eighth grade algebra and what that move would take. A few scattered showers. This morning, especially in the north bay. Theres fog back at the coast. Ive got the forecast that includes the weeke. Were t welcome to big tobaccos fantasyland. A new, healthier World Without cigarettes. As long as you dont count the 6 trillion sold worldwide every year. And vaping wont lead to smoking, if you ignore the research that says otherwise. In big tobaccos fantasyland, the deadliest industry is your friend. Shh. A school board voted to eliminate eighth grade algebra. They worried that putting some kids on a track for advanced level math too early would leave students from underrepresented groups behind and waiting until high school to offer the course for everyone would allow students who struggled with math to catch up. But a study from Stanford University later found that approach did not work district wide. Tests show a steady five year decline in math scores among sfusd students. Only 4 of black eighth graders met standards last year, 0 of Pacific Islander students did what theyve done over the last decade has been a failed experiment. It has shown no value to the families and students, particularly in the name of equity. Its led to a push from parent and other education groups to bring back eighth grade algebra. San francisco supervisors are responding to that with a ballot measure theyll introduce today. It would give all San Francisco voters a chance to weigh in on whether sf should reinstate eighth grade algebra. I think if students are ready for it, that we should let them have it. Kids can do it and they should do it and they should learn early. They shouldnt lower the expectations for everyone. The proposed ballot measure wouldnt require the district to reinstate eighth grade algebra, but instead strongly encourage it. Were hearing positive signs saying that they want to bring it back. Were hoping that this motivates and makes it happen faster. Meredith dodson with the nonprofit sf parent action, says the district should bring back eighth grade algebra. But go beyond that. How were supporting our students so that theyll be able to access things like eighth grade algebra and be ready for it. For example, we currently have no math remediation program. If a kid falls behind in first grade, third grade, sixth grade, or there is no there is no plan to support those kids to catch up to grade level. The plan for today, four of the supervisors will introduce it and sign off on this measure at the board of supervisors meeting later this afternoon. Then, if they approve it, itll end up on the ballot in march for San Francisco voters in San Francisco, ellie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news for the second time in less than 24 hours, a car struck and killed a pedestrian in san jose. Police say it happened just before 330 this morning on North Jackson avenue, not far from alum rock avenue. The driver remained at the crash location and spoke with police, but its still unclear what happened. Video shows a large, big rig surrounded by crime scene tape. This marks the 23rd fatal collision involving a pedestrian in the city so far this year. New government test data shows the number of roadway deaths is steadily rising. The biggest increase deaths of pedestrians and cyclists. Those are up 64 between 2011 and 2022. Deadly vehicle crashes last year increased by 43, according to the data. They are partially due to increases in speeding, drunk driving and fewer people wearing seatbelts. Well, the first week of fall bringing some light rain to some bay area cities. Showers in the north bay overnight, making their way south this morning. It wasnt a lot of rain, but really enough to see those wet roadways out there. Well, the rainfall is beneficial for firefighters up north. Cal fire says the rain is aiding wildfire fights near the oregon border and the smith river complex fire. Youre looking at video. Previously taken of that wildfire. The region around the fire received about 2. 5in of rain yesterday. Still, firefighters say the fire season is far from over. Yeah, i think thats the lead weather story, really, is that that amount of rain in northern california, its a good amount of rain for this time of year. Its a significant amount of rain for september. But the idea that its knocked down those fires, it doesnt put them out. But you can imagine what 2. 5in of rain does to a fire zone and that smith river complex is not the majority, but well, maybe the majority of the smoke was coming from that. Thats in northern california. So these rainfall accumulations have really been sort of a godsend in a way, because i think that smoke it there could still be issues with it, but not like weve we saw because that was sort of not unbearable but getting there. Okay. So some of the rainfall accumulations, most of the rain was north of the i80 interchange there or the i80 highway. So you can see that marin county, napa, sonoma north, thats where the most of the rain was. But halfmoon bay got 0. 07. Oakland got 0. 04. Temperatures today generally where they were yesterday, maybe a degree warmer in some places. There is that low pressure and thats a very significant storm. And look at this next wave coming in into portland there. So thats this is good looking stuff for this time of year. And we talked about it a little bit last night. So that low Pressure Center is going to move out as we go into your day on wednesday. And then in thursday. But then as we get towards the weekend, were going to get another low that drops in. So remember this thing weve been talking about, about the lows exchange being continuing to bump up against the coast. Well, as soon as one leaves us, youve got about 36 hours and then you get another one in here on the weekend, which will probably generate some winds, certainly rain around lake tahoe and in the mountains. For us, itll just be significantly cooler. So well keep an eye on it. The potential for fire winds is there, but thats a little ways off yet. So well keep an eye on that. And just know fog is back at the coast and were getting back to business next couple of days. Very nice fall like weather and ill have the full forecast in just a few minutes.

Tonight the Solano County da says an innocent man was wrongly accused in that a second man is response able. Our Crime Reporter henry lee there in the newsroom with more on the story henry. Mike, this was the case that shocked and saddened vallejo. A boy kidnaped and killed just days before he would have turned seven decades later, Authorities Say they found the real suspect as a result of dna evidence. This death, this murder of Jeremy Stoner, it rocked this whole community. The killing of six year old Jeremy Stoner back in 1987 shocked vallejo, a suspect. Shawn melton was arrested and charged, but two juries could not reach a verdict and the case was dismissed. It turns out those juries got it right. A different man. 69 year old fred cain has now been charged with kidnaping and murdering jeremy. You know, its unfortunate that mr. Melton was tried for a case, a crime that he did not commit. Solano county da Krishna Abrams said Dna Technology not available decades ago, has now tied cain to the killing and its such an important tool because it can not only solve crimes like we believe its solving this one, but can also exonerate somebody who is innocent. But melton, the original suspect, died in 2000. He died without being able to be here to know that hes exonerated for days after jeremy disappeared, his body was found at sherburne island in the sacramento delta. He had been sexually assaulted and strangled. The discovery dashed the hopes of vallejo citizens who turned out at a candlelight vigil. It turns out cain, the current suspect, was interviewed by police shortly after the kidnaping that same day. Melton, a self styled investigator, walked into the Police Department with theories about the case. He was either investigator or private investigator or a wannabe investigator, but he really wanted to help solve this case. But instead, Vallejo Police quickly zeroed in on melton. Peter moore was meltons attorney and later became a judge. They lost their objectivity fully investigate the case, and they they just became personally involved. Earlier this month, cain was arrested at his oregon home with the help of the Jackson County sheriffs office. Its nice that hard work pays off camping. Jeremy back. Its absolutely horrible what the familys gone through for the last 37 years. Cains been charged with murder along with special circumstances of sexual assault, kidnaping and lewd acts with a child. This means he could potentially face life in prison without parole or the Death Penalty if hes convicted. Mike so how did fred cain actually get on their radar here decades later . I mean, did they retest evidence and then thats when his dna popped . Thats right. They realized that the dna evidence, they say, matched what the evidence in the case. And so they went back, got a fresh dna sample, and lo and behold, it matched the guy they had talked to years ago, but then skipped in lieu of the other guy. Got it. And now hes in custody. Henry lee live there in the newsroom. Henry, thank you. Governor newsom signed several new laws today to strengthen the states gun safety, protect. California will double the taxes on guns and ammunition and use the money to pay for more security at public schools. And various violence prevention programs.

Public demonstrations and gatherings, amusement parks, churches, banks and any place where alcohol is sold. There have been more Mass Shootings than days in the year. In 2023. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for american children. Its a pretty sick thing that we can just casually say it.

They hosted a free catalytic converter etching event at the schools automotive department. The etching process takes about eight minutes to do and marks each device with its own identification number, making them less attractive to thieves and easier to trace of stolen. Weve had people from as far as sacramento, stockton, richmond, marin county and, you know, i just wish that more people would partner up with the police to get this done at colleges or high schools. Its a great event. It really helps the students get hands on experience in a shop thats like a production shop right here. This is the fourth event the college has hosted. Event organizers say they expected about 120 vehicles would go through the etching process. The federal trade commission is suing amazon, claiming it has an illegal monopoly of power.

Instead, mccarthy is trying to win over hardliners to pass a short term funding bill that includes border security. Hes blaming the president for the problem if he is willing to take some actions to even sit down with us to make some changes along that border, we can keep government open while we finish the funding, but that package would likely be dead on arrival in the democratic controlled senate. The white house is urging mccarthy to honor the agreement they made on spending levels earlier this year. Its up to the speaker to twist in the wind. I mean, seriously, this is a deal is a deal.

The hindenburg and those back in the day, they were all the rage in the early 1900s and then they went away completely. And then you see Something Like that. Okay so lets take a look at the system. This to the north of us, this thing is good looking. And i have a friend up in Mount Rainier right now and he said theyre getting a bunch of snow up there in the cascades. Got some heavy rain. Temperatures are going to continue to be cool up there. But down here, we got the scattered showers, but were going to stay mild 70s to low 80s. And then i just kind of wanted to point out these big rain totals up in the fire zones. You can see up over 2. 5in of rain up in that zone. So thats pretty great. Thatll help the smoke out quite a bit. The future smoke that could be coming our way. There are. Or is the fog you can see it offshore. It came back its real patchy out there but itll kind of try to build in again tonight. Its going to have trouble setting up as it does this time of year. But therell be a little bit of fog here and there the next couple of mornings. These are the highs from today, which pretty nice temperatures tomorrow are going to be, well, some places are going to be slightly cooler along the coast and slightly warmer inland. So these are the highs from today. And then here come the highs from tomorrow. And you can see a little bit warmer, maybe a little cooler right along the coast because a little bit more fog. So a nice day tomorrow. A nice week ahead. This low. This is not the computer model. This is the satellite image. And this low in this trough. This when i say trough venus, see how it dips down . Thats a trough. Lets see if we can find a ridge around here. Theres a ridge over here. See how its going up and over. So thats coming up. And then itll curve that way. Thats a ridge. So for us, were going to continue in a trough pattern which sets us up with more of the same, more weather like weve been seeing, which means temperatures is very pleasant. It means pretty good air quality. Fortunately for us, a little bit of patchy fog on the coast. This is satellite image shows the fog trying to fill in. Itll fill in at Stinson Beach tonight. Heres tomorrow morning and then theres tomorrow afternoon. You see the fog kind of get pushed away from the coast and then oranges show up. Those are your low 80s tomorrow. And the hot spots kind of like today, but just slightly warmer. So theres that fog out along the coast. Temperature forecast for tomorrow mid 80s, inland way inland. Like thats fairfield. Sacramento, davis and then for us around the bay, its 70 and low 80s. Its perfect weather, fire danger. Right. Were not doing fire stories. This is great. We will eventually get some offshore winds. But you know, the best Case Scenario for us would be to get a good rain they got in northern california. And then you can kind of withstand some of those fire winds. So well see. But right now, the weather continues as it has the last few weeks. All right, bill, thank you. Major jackpot growing larger after the powerball rolled over the prize is now estimated at 835 million.
