11:07 pm
thanksgiving holiday travel is looking to be one of the busiest seasons in decades. the tsa says the 30 million fliers will take to the skies for the holiday. meanwhile, according to triple a, an estimated 49 million americans are expected to hit the roads for the travel weekend. >> wednesday has notoriously been the worst day to be on the roads before thanksgiving. and that time frame between 2 and 6 p.m. is the worst time to be on the road because at that point, you're mixing holiday travelers on the roads with commuters, people who have to work on wednesday and with serious weather predicted to roll into the northeast over the next two days, travelers may run into some heavy delays, but there is a silver lining. >> gas prices have been falling across the nation, which should make it a little easier on our wallets. >> all right. let's take a live look from our lake tahoe camera tonight because it's beginning to look a bit more like winter up there, at least as far as the ski season is concerned. heavenly mountain resort will now be opening for the season tomorrow. several other sierra
11:08 pm
resorts are already open, including mount rose and boreal. if you're thinking of heading up soon, keep in mind many new parking reservation systems are installed at some ski resorts to try to limit traffic around tahoe. but one local expert has an insider tip. >> if you hit those western slope resorts at bear valley and dodge ridge, it's still kind of old school style where you could just drive right up, park your car and walk up onto the resort themselves. sugar bowl, boreal, mount rose, diamond peak and homewood. it's just drive on up and most other resorts in tahoe are looking at a december 1st date to kick off the season. >> happening tomorrow, president biden will take his first action on the fentanyl crisis since entering a partnership with china last week. >> the white house says his meeting aims to accelerate efforts to counter the flow of fentanyl into the united states. >> this is the first step his administration has taken since holding talks with chinese president xi jinping at apec here in the bay area last week,
11:09 pm

11:10 pm
certainly will still be the center of that revolution. >> in the meantime, all eyes are on microsoft to see what altman could create with them. >> today is transgender day of remembrance, a day to acknowledge those who have been murdered by transphobic violence. san francisco city hall is paying tribute to lighting up the colors of the trans flag tonight. this marks the end of transgender awareness week, bringing attention to trans owns people and the issues they face. the coalition, a coalition of trans organizations , held a rally on the steps tonight. it ended with a march to the lgbt center where they held more community programing. it is a killing that will send a chill down your spine. >> the man found guilty of beheading his ex girlfriend is now waiting to learn his fate. plus, it's the lush enclave of thought to be perfect for presidential meeting. but tonight, we're giving you a locals perspective on the beauty inside the bay area's filoli estate. >> plus, i think some of the earliest plaques go back to

11:14 pm
better. i just don't know if i can. >> a father trying to put his pain into words tonight, a verdict reached in the case of his daughter's killer. and tonight, abc seven news reporter lauren martinez is following what comes next in the san carlos beheading of karina castro. >> on monday, a san mateo county jury found rafa solano guilty of murdering his ex-girlfriend, karina castro. her father said he's relieved with the conviction, but not as much as he'd like to be. >> well, i'm glad he's going to be in prison for as long as humanly possible. my daughter is still gone. >> officials say last year in september, solano used a samurai sword and slashed repeatedly at castro, killing her. it was in broad daylight in the middle of a street in san carlos. >> this is a case that happened in front of four eyewitnesses. it was done in a very vicious manner. >> robert cummings is solano's defense attorney. he said solano
11:15 pm
was positive he would walk out of the courtroom a free man. >> he doesn't have delusions or whatever, but he was pretty sure he was going to walk out the front door. i was not as optimistic myself. >> in a jailhouse interview earlier this year. solano told abc7 news i-team reporter dan noyes that he killed castro in self-defense, claiming castro threatened him over social media. cummings said what happened in this case was a psychotic break. he said solano was schizophrenic and it was his client's paranoid thoughts that drove his actions. i think california needs to change the way it treats its paranoid schizophrenic who have proven that they've had issues. solano faces 26 years to life in prison . the victim's family thanked the prosecutor for his team and the detectives on this case. marty castro said karina was his oldest daughter. he said she loved her kids more than anything. one of them, she shared with solano. >> my daughter was my life and.
