reporter: it's costing taxpayers more than $5 million a deal. we are getting information about what's working, what's not and how to change strategy. the newly released report shows more than half of the illegal dumped trash comes from residential sources. let's than 10% was construction debris and only 3% was related to homelessness. last year the "2 investigates" team went undercover to catch dumpers in action. we discovered the city received more than 20,000 reports of illegal dumping in a one year period but only issued 65 citations. when we talked to city leaders about the problems, they had some ideas about who was to blame. >> we believe a lot of these people are coming from out of town and are repeat offenders. >> 60% of the illegal dumpers don't live in the city. we have to catch the ones who live in oakland as well as outside of oakland and put together a strong case, take it to the d.a. >> reporter: they said they believe the trash is coming outside of oakland but according to the study the results show it's hard to tell where it's coming from. two-thirds of the time inspectors couldn't tell where that trash was from. using the identifiable people they found a third of the garbage was from right here in oakland. the record is being used to help the citybuild a better strategy including tackling clean-up block by block instead of waiting citizens to report dumping themselves. you can still report illegal dumping trash in your area using the city's app or by calling 510-615-5566. >> its disgraceful how people think they can dump their trash wherever they want. i see it all the time in oakland they pile up and clear it out and within days it's back. >> reporter: some people think they are helping the homeless by giving them their old furniture or their old clothes and things like that but it just turns into trash on the street. >> candice nguyen, thank you. if you have a tip for our "2 investigates" team, contact us e email "2 investigates" at

a federal appeals court. a federal appeals court has upheld a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of a young boy who was shot and killed by a sonoma county sheriff's deputy four years ago in santa rosa. the ninth circuit court of appeals said there is ample evidence for a jury to conclude that 13-year-old andy lopez did not pose an immediate danger to deputy erick gelhaus when he shot him seven times. lopez was holding a very realistic looking airsoft gun and deputy gelhaus said he thought it was a real gun. the court said there is evidence that the boy did not raise the barrel of the gun as gelhaus claimed. despite widespread protests, prosecutors decided not to pursue charges against deputy gelhaus. deputy gelhaus is still with the sheriff's department and is now promoted to sergeant. in the south bay police in san jose have arrested two men accused in a series of robberies in broad daylight and as ktvu's jesse geary reports, the suspects are accused of using a mentally

two months. investigators say on august 28th and september 4th, the trio targeted elderly asian women in parking lots on mckee road. >> they would have a juvenile approach a female while they were walking through a parking lot and forcibly steal jewelry from the women and take off. >> reporter: investigators say the shocking aspect of this case, the juvenile who participated in the crime is mentally ill, apparently the two men using him as a literal weapon against the victims in four separate crimes. >> it's extremely egregious that somebody would stoop to that level to use any child firstly but a child that's suffering from mental illness and doesn't have the wherewithal to advocate for themselves or to look after themselves to be put through that. it's not just criminal, but is inhumane and disgusting behavior. >> reporter: the two men were arraigned september 7th on robbery charges and booked into the santa clara county jail. both have since been released on bail. the unnamed juvenile is held in the juvenile justice center. >> because the crime was committed, we have an obligation to book the adults into county jail and the juvenile into juvenile hall like we did in this case and then it's for the judicial system to decide what happens next. >> detectives are checking to see if the people involved in this crime spree may have targeted other victims in other parts of the bay area. in the san jose studio, jesse gary, ktvu fox 2 news. ktvu fox 2 news at 6:30 is up next with senator bernie sanders outlining his own healthcare plans. >> healthcare to all as a

might say. remember all the problems he had in the past with social media? it does seem like it is in his distant past? today he was asked about kevin durant and the recent problems he has had tweeting particular things out. >> i reminded him of my mishap when we were at usa basketball the day my mishap happened. i was stressed out and all they were laughing in my face from him to demarcus probably was the worst. um, and -- and the beat goes on. they all laughed at my face. so it was a little payback. i laughed in his face and it felt good. we all have good personalities here in the locker room so, you know, just a matter of us getting on the court and just getting better finding that rhythm again and, um, yeah, draymond laughs at everything. >> seems like they are off to a good start. the same cannot be said for the san francisco 49ers. 0-3 now. but you have to look at it like, progress. another close game. remember they had scored no touchdowns going into this. brian hoyer lit it up. 332 yards passing, a couple of touchdown passes throwing, one running. and five touchdowns total for the 49ers. extremely entertaining game. gascon on the receiving end there. all through training camp hoyer was airing it out but in the first two games nothing long, like last night the return of the bomb last night. >> is that something you were seeing in practice? >> he has the arm. i didn't realize it. he loves throwing the deep ball. he loves, you know, connecting with those plays. >> we play with our all to the end. >> raiders going back east to face the redskins of washington. remember terrelle pryor? this might stoke your memory a bit when he was with the raiders as quarterback. >> pryor is up and running! inside steelers territory! 20, 10 and pryor is in! >> 93 yards longest run ever by an nfl quarterback. he was let go by the raiders and three teams cut him and he talked about how that inspires him in his career. >> people don't understand the feeling of getting cut. it's like having a girl you like and she breaks you up with you. i wanted her, he liked her. a guy it's like that, oh, they don't want me. that's the only way i can explain it. no, it didn't happen to me. [ laughter ] >> so the punch line to the story terrelle pryor career change is now a wide receiver with a breakout year with the browns last year signed a big contract with the redskins and completely changed from quarterback to wide receiver and the raiders -- >> how good do you have to play to -- >> that's a great athlete to make that change. we wish him the best. after sunday. >> right. see you later. good night. ♪[ music ] food. water. internet. we need it to live. but what we don't need are surprises, like extra monthly fees. i see you, fee, played by legendary actress anjelica huston. you got me, mark. we just want fast internet for one, simple rate. for all the streaming and the shopping and the newsing, but most of all... for the this. internet for one everyday simple price and no extra monthly fees. t-minus 60 seconds! oh, it all comes down to this! oh, i've got butterflies. don't get soft on me, hofstadter. i will slap those glasses right off your face. what's going on? hey. we're about to buy tickets for comic-con. oh. t minus 45 seconds! they sell out incredibly fast, but as long as one of us gets in, we can buy passes... good lord, this is not the time for flirting! keep it in your pants! it's a whole lot of weird before coffee. t-minus 30 seconds! oh, i have to go to the bathroom so bad. every year! i told you, wear a diaper! and i told you i get diaper rash! 15 seconds! oh, this is it! this is it!

seven times. lopez was holding a very realistic looking airsoft gun and deputy gelhaus said he thought it was a real gun. the court said there is evidence that the boy did not raise the barrel of the

firstly but a child that's suffering from mental illness and doesn't have the wherewithal to advocate for themselves or to look after themselves to be put through that. it's not just criminal, but is inhumane and disgusting behavior. >> reporter: the two men were arraigned september 7th on robbery charges and booked into the santa clara county jail. both have since been released on bail. the unnamed juvenile is held in the juvenile justice center. >> because the crime was committed, we have an obligation to book the adults into county jail and the juvenile into juvenile hall like we did

of you have football and baseball. that's all happening at the same time. you got to love that. clouds to the north of us from another weather system that's moving on. high pressure will soon dominate. it's hard to get back in the gate at night when tide is going out and they get trapped under there for a little while. it was cold last night. my heater kicked on in the house. didn't see that coming. when you say 42 in napa, those are winter temperatures. it get down to 32. but this time of year 42, that's unusual. temperatures back into the 80s inland. low 80s. 70s and low 80s. coast

thing so it's on when it comes to the golden state warriors. and, of course, they are ready to try and repeat make it three out of four. today was what they call media day. i can remember when they had media day with one little table with six guys. but the big guys, all the team there for picture day and, of course, the media able to talk to them. and draymond green was also to the podium you might say. remember all the problems he had in the past with social media? it does seem like it is in his distant past? today he was asked about kevin durant and the recent problems he has had tweeting particular things out. >> i reminded him of my mishap when we were at usa basketball the day my mishap happened. i was stressed out and all they were laughing in my face from him to demarcus probably was the worst. um, and -- and the beat goes on. they all laughed at my face. so it was a little payback. i laughed in his face and it felt good. we all have good personalities here in the locker room so, you know, just a matter of us getting on the court and just getting better finding that rhythm again and, um, yeah, draymond laughs at everything. >> seems like they are off to a good start. the same cannot be said for the san francisco 49ers. 0-3 now. but you have to look at it like, progress. another close game. remember they had scored no touchdowns going into this. brian hoyer lit it up. 332 yards passing, a couple of touchdown passes throwing, one running. and five touchdowns total for the 49ers. extremely entertaining game. gascon on the receiving end there. all through training camp hoyer was airing it out but in the first two games nothing long, like last night the return of the bomb last night. >> is that something you were seeing in practice? >> he has the arm. i didn't realize it. he loves throwing the deep ball. he loves, you know, connecting with those plays. >> we play with our all to the end. >> raiders going back east to face the redskins of washington.

longest run ever by an nfl quarterback. he was let go by the raiders and three teams cut him and he talked about how that inspires him in his career. >> people don't understand the feeling of getting

happen to me.
