amputate quickly. >> the x-rays show that his tibia and fibula were shattered like glass shatters. you can see fragments of bone in the muscles. >> reporter: the x-rays also show bright colored pieces of metal believed to be bullet fragments. sergeant craig hall with animal services says they don't know who shot the dog. a good samaritan took bullet to the veterinary center on september 4th after reportedly seeing it injured on monument boulevard. the dog nod collar and no microchip. >> ideal we would want to speak to someone who can offer information about the dog and hue it came to be in

is building in las vegas about bringing the oakland raiders to sin city. today a nevada tourism board recommended a boost in the hotel tax to raise $750 million and pay for about a third of the cost of a domed stadium near the strip. the next step is for the nevada state legislature to weigh in. after this morning's vote the tourism board expressed enthusiasm about what pro football could offer the city. >> beyond the raiders, we're going to have a super bowl in las vegas if we get this done. who would have ever thought that could happen. so the economic impacts besides the raiders and unlv and all the other events is going to raise room rates, increase visitation and be an economic bonanza. >> oakland mayor libby schaaf said oakland is not giving up on keeping the team in oakland. she said, "i will continue to work with the nfl and the raiders to iron out a deal that works for the team, the league, and the taxpayers." >> mark ibanez joins us now. you are saying that bay area fans don't need to push the panic button. >> no, i don't think quite yet. this is one step but there are many remaining. this is a situation where i think it's a clear-cut message now. the raiders are serious about exploring every aspect of this deal. it's no longer a rumor, no longer something they're keeping secret, and it's a message to the city of oakland that if you really do want to keep the raiders, and it remains to be seen just exactly how much seriousness there is there, and just how intent they are in keeping the team in oakland, then it is time to get on the ball and get a serious stadium plan figured out. but some of the hurdles that need to be cleared, of course, one of the things you think about. in january the nfl owners meet. 75% of their approval needs to be met for them to move a franchise right now, and also it needs to go before the taxpayers and be approved in a vote there, and if that's not taken care of, the owner of the casino, the billionaire mogul who says he is going to throw in so many million dollars says i'm out of the deal. so unless it is passed by the voters in the state of nevada, it's not going to have any wheels anyway. >> do we know when that vote is supposed to take place? >> the state legislature, oddly enough in nevada only meets every two years. so it's my opinion that they would probably have to call a special election to see if that vote can go through and be approved for taxpayers or hotel tax to go through. >> but it is a hotel tax, so nevada residents won't be paying a hotel tax unless they spend a nature in a hotel. >> right. >> it will be the tourists, us would are paying that tax. >> you would think that would be a positive in favor of the people trying to move the team there because they would be able to clearly say, hey, it is going to be the tourists that come in to see the team that pay it. but on the other side of that, there's people who say, hey, if you are going to go to the trouble of creating a hotel tax, why not spend it on the school system, and in nevada, it's rated as one of the lowest educational systems in the entire country. so they're bound to meet disapproval in that regard. like i say, there are definite hurdles, and this is just the first city. it's got to go before the public. >> we were talking earlier, such a transient city, people coming and going all the time would. the community in the las vegas area even be enough to support a team. >> that's a question. the nhl has moved there, but keep in mind that's just an 18,000 seat arena to get a hockey team going. this would be a proposed 65,000 seat venue. would you consider the fact that players or teams will be getting their fans flying in because las vegas is such a destination site. so that's going for them. you consider that a lot of raider fans in the bay area would probably want to trek down there. but then you take into consideration conversely you're moving from one of the biggest tv markets in the country, five or sir, depending on who you talk to, in the bay area, to las vegas, which is a much smaller television revenue site. so there are a lot of details that need to be worked out. but i think the main thing raider fans need to consider right now, this is not imminent. this is one thing. don't overreact. but it is time to get the ball rolling in the city of oakland. last time i said that, a couple of viewers wrote in and said, are you kidding me? they don't need to get going on it. they need to let the raiders go. this is enough. we're not going to get taken for suckers again. so you've got all kinds of controversy brewing and a long way to go. it takes two, three years to build a stadium in the first place. so we're a ways away. >> mark, thank you. coming up, back on the trail, hillary clinton returns from a bout with pneumonia. at 6:30, the latest in the race for the white house as donald trump talks about his health with dr. oz. >> i feel as good today as i did when i was 30. and

but first, an arrest in the sexual assault on the cal campus just days after three separate sexual assaults at the greek theater. new information in the police sex scandal involving a teenage sex worker and how she ended up at a rehab in florida. the woman formerly known as celeste guap is now back in the bay area. >> ktvu crime reporter henry lee is here. the woman's attorneys are making serious allegations. >> reporter: they're raising questions about witness tampering and obstruction of justice. they say richmond police are to blame for the cross-country trip that ended with her in jail. attorneys for jasmine abuslin said richmond police put the 19- year-old woman on a plane to florida. there, two strangers picked her up and never said a word. they refused her repeated request to call her father. shended up baiting a rehab worker who was trying to prevent her from leaving. that led to 17 dance in jail and a plea deal to battery. her attorneys say there was no need for her to go to rehab on the other side of the country. >> she didn't voluntarily go to florida. rather, she was told that she needed to go to florida because she had dabbled in drugs and this would be like a vacation, and she needed to go you are imently. >> reporter: richmond police and the d.a.'s office say they helped secure funds to send abuslin to florida but all these agencies would not say why she was sent there or how often victims are sent out of state. >> they can't pay money to a california facility? i don't believe that. you ask that person what they've been smoking. >> reporter: in a text message to me abuslin said this richmond police sergeant, matt stonebreaker, drove her to sfo for her flight. >> sergeant stonebreaker sent her to the richmond family justice center and they engineered very quickly in a hurry up fashion this deal of sending this girl by herself 3,000 miles away to someplace that she's never heard of before. they did that. why did they do that? you have to answer that question. was this obstruction of justice? that has to be answered. was this tampering with the witness? that question remains open. >> reporter: abuslin said she's ready to testify and help other victims. >> i'm so impressed that she is trying to turn this into an opportunity to provide healing to other people who may be suffering sexual abuse or other traumas. >> reporter: chief brown has said any suggestions that the department sent her away or removed her to florida, quote, distorts reality. >> help, what can you tell us about a statement from the district attorney's office today that said its investigation is ongoing? what does that mean? >> reporter: the d.a. did say that they have recently received additional allegations of possible additional criminal misconduct. so no charges have been filed up to this point by that office. so it's possible that whatever alameda county has uncovered can now be shared with their counterparts in martinez. >> they're not giving any specifics? >> no specifics. they're saying that they have more information that they're going to look into. >> we don't know if it's the sheriff's office or richmond police or we don't know who. >> right. it's always possible that it might be alameda county officers that had illegal contact with jasmine. >> have you heard how jasmine is doing or what's next to her? >> reporter: she is in seclusion getting the help she needs. she is doing as best as can be expected according to her attorneys. they are telling us the focus should be on these police officers who did her wrong. >> any time frame on when we might have charges or a trial? she's a witness in this. she's here. so she could testify. but we don't know when that might happen. >> reporter: her attorneys did reach out to nancy 0 mall threshings d.a. in alameda county, but she is on vacation. the ball is starting to roll now that she is back in the bay area. >> henry lee, thank you very much. >> you bet. new at 6:00

police told ktvu they don't believe any of those attacks are connected. governor jerry brown signed a bill created in response to the balcony response near the uc berkeley campus last year that killed six students. the new law provides more oversight of building contractors. it requires any contractor convicted of a work related crime to report that information to the state. in some cases contractors are also required to turn over information about settlements paid after claims of construction defects. the builder of the apartment building in berkeley had paid out millions of dollars
