6:03 pm
county district attorney pamela price announced the charges alongside mayor shengtao and interim oakland police chief darren allison. sanders is being charged with murder with special circumstance and special allegations, which could lock him up for life without out the possibility of parole. if convicted. >> what mr. sanders is facing is a murder charge and special circumstances, or a special circumstance. i believe that the first special circumstance that has been charged by this administration in the year that that that miss price has been district attorney bella says she was only given the probable cause declaration and won't respond to discovery except for what comes from the prosecution, adding she's still missing detailed information about the case. >> i just want to say that i stand ready to defend mr. sanders against these charges. a second suspect, allen brown, is also being charged with murder. a third suspect, andre russell, faces burglary charges. court documents show that russell had priors related to kidnaping and

6:05 pm
that i have supported for years, years prior. gallo says he's attended many police news conferences in the past and has never had any issues. he told us he did follow the officer's instructions so he would not cause a scene. >> tonight, there's proof that a nonprofit is helping build a better bay area. urban alchemy deploys people to address street level issues, and a new study finds the organization is leading to a dramatic reduction in crime in san francisco's tenderloin. abc seven news reporter luz pena is in the newsroom with a look at the results of this study. louis. >> that's right. dan, this was an independent research by stanford university. the social ag professor behind it went out with urban alchemy staff members for a year and a half and found that crime went down by 52. after 12 months of urban alchemy's presence at intersections going down, they have 40 san francisco intersections covered in some of the city's hot spots. urban alchemy is director of operations, says all of their
6:06 pm
staff members keep track of their daily interactions. >> runs the data for them right here, and this data for them have a positive engagement, inviting space intervention. >> the majority of what you guys do out here, we do a lot of a lot of odds. >> we do a lot of de-escalating. >> for years, this form was the main tracker of success. now a stanford university research shows how their work is changing the city's tenderloin. >> as we look at crime 12 months before urban alchemy comes on to a block and 12 months after urban alchemy comes onto a block and we look to see the reductions after a year and a half of going out with urban alchemy, staff members and comparing sfpd's data from before and after this group took over a block, professor stewart's findings show the overall impact we ruled out that this was not a product of covid, and we ruled out the notion that maybe the urban alchemy was displacing crime to other intersections so we can narrow it down and say urban alchemy
6:07 pm
caused a 52% reduction in total crime and an 80% reduction in drug crime. >> in a press conference, mayor breed praised the group for helping the city for the past five years, despite it 2023 becoming san francisco's deadliest year for drug overdoses and over 4000 homeless people on the streets. >> no, we are not where we want to be, but we are definitely in a better place than what we used to be. in fact, in the tenderloin, we've seen an overall 11% drop in crime. >> i'm randy shaw with the tenderloin housing clinic, sees the issues firsthand and wants this group to expand, but also wants police efforts to increase. >> we're hoping for a broader police presence combined with urban alchemy, because really, there's still too many blocks where we don't see any enforcement at all. and therefore that's where the dealers and users congregate. >> urban alchemy ceo says they're working on it. >> yeah, there's plan to expand, but it's always based on capacity. we.
6:08 pm
>> reduction in crime. the data shows about 320 crimes per week in the tenderloin intersections. and after a year of urban alchemy at 40 intersections, there were 150 crimes per week in the newsroom. luz pena, abc seven news. >> really encouraging the results of that study. luce, thanks very much. >> yeah, a big focus of our efforts to build a better bay area is to ensure racial and social justice. some new reports show there is work to be done. we have two stories to share tonight on the two topics housing and policing. first, let's hear from abc seven news reporter cornell bernard about a study that found discrimination against latino renters and families with children in marin. >> the nonprofit fair housing advocates says rental housing discrimination is real in the north bay. >> in this case, we decided that we wanted to see how latinx parents were being treated at the pre-application stage, right at the rental inquiry stage,
6:09 pm
julia howard gibbons says. >> between january and april of 2023, they investigated landlords at random, operating 60 rental properties in marin, solano and sonoma counties and found some level of discrimination at 58% ofhe properties. advocates say marin county had the highest incidence of discrimination at about 66% in its investigation, the organization says 52% of test calls to landlords made by trained testers revealed evidence of discrimination against renters with children, and 31% showed evidence of discrimination against latino renters. >> the latino called up and they said, she said i believe she had two kids, so it would be her and two children for a one bedroom apartment. and they said, sorry, that's just too small for a family of three. and then the white tester called up and they said, yeah, that should be fine. no problem. we can make it work. the report says sonoma county saw a 35% discrimination level against latinos. >> solano county showed the least overall bias at 25%
6:10 pm
against renters with kids. canal alliance is reacting to the report saying this issue has impacted our community far too long, denying latinos and families with children their right to equal housing. marin deserves better, and it's time to dismantle these discriminatory barriers and build a truly inclusive community where everyone can thrive. i'm not sure why they went with such a small sample size, but we don't know what their inherent biases were on their questions. >> but advocates for rental property owners questioned how the report was conducted. most of the owners that we talked to and deal with are well aware of fair housing laws and regulations. um, and, you know, it's just it's difficult to, to, to see the kind of racism that they're attempting to foist upon the owners here when that's just generally not the case. >> finding even one, i think, is significant. right. we think that, you know, the fair housing act was passed in 1968. we want to believe that people are not still discriminating. >> fair housing advocates say they will send letters to landlords who they believe discriminated against potential renters and could pursue legal
6:11 pm
action in the future in marin county. cornel bernard, abc seven news and now to the second of the two topics, police data from all law enforcement agencies in the state of california shows that racial profiling remains a problem for people of color. >> abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey takes a look at the numbers. >> an extensive study and look into law enforcement stops across california highlights a trend many say they already know. >> the data is pretty clear that year over year, and now, um, agency over agency. we have a problem. we have a problem with disparities in law enforcement, stops racial and identity profiling. >> advisory board co-chair andrea guerrero says the numbers from their annual report looking at nearly 4.6 million vehicle and pedestrian stops in 2022 from all california law enforcement agencies, showed a pattern of profiling in the state. the data represents the race perceived by officers and
6:12 pm
not the race people may identify with. because that's what drives bias, the report found. police reported hispanic or latino people made up about 43% of traffic stops above their 32% share of california's population . it also found that black people account for nearly 13% of traffic stops in california, above their 5% share of the state's population. >> no surprise, it's the same data that we get each and every time one of these reports come out. >> but anti-terror police project executive director kat brooks says the problem is racially profiled stops, leads to problems like mental health issues, and sometimes serious injury or death. we need to know that, according to the data, these preemptive stops right by law enforcement in the name of public safety, actually do little to nothing for public safety. >> um, what they do do, however, is increase engagement between vulnerable communities and police officers that lead to incidents of violence and people of color are experiencing similar struggles here in the bay area, according to stats, our abc seven news data team pulled from oakland, san francisco and san jose police.
6:13 pm
>> the hispanic latino population in san jose represented nearly 54% of stops, more than double their percentage of the population in oakland, 49% of total stops came from the black community, who only represent 21% of the population, and black people accounted for 23% of traffic stops in san francisco, which is far above their 4% share of the city's population. >> i hope that the public finds us uh- opportunity in a report that is as eyes wide open as it can possibly be to recognize and address the issue of profiling, guerrero says the numbers represent a statewide problem, and she hopes solutions can be found to move away from identity based policing and move towards evidence based policing. >> dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> late today, the police officers association of los angeles, san francisco and san jose released a statement in response to the statewide report that reads in part, quote. the report attempts to make the case
6:14 pm
that any car stop above the population percentage of any given race must be racial profiling that is intellectually dishonest. simply put, if a driver has a car without of date vehicle registration tags, a broken brake or headlight or is driving recklessly or speeding, then they are most likely going to get pulled over. that is all about behavior and not race. >> coming up here, new protests at berkeley's people's park today. next, we put it into perspective thanks to the abc7 news archive. >> and speaking of perspective, from a high rise in san francisco, hear what a global architect thinks the city needs to rebuild and repurpose its downtown in order for small businesses to thrive, they need to be smart, efficient, savvy.

paxlovid. a new ucsf study found that it does not significantly lower the risk of long covid for people who are vaccinated. >> abc7 news reporter zach fuentes spoke with those behind the study. they say some can still benefit from the treatment . >> paxlovid has been a treatment known to work for high risk, unvaccinated people with covid, but until recently, not much was known about whether it could protect vaccinated, low risk groups from getting long covid. the earlier evidence suggested
6:31 pm
there might be a benefit in preventing long covid, but researchers at ucsf said their newly released findings show that using paxlovid to prevent long covid might not be effective. our study, as well as two other really well done studies, now have come out with the same results using slightly different approaches, and so i feel pretty confident that together, our studies really suggest that there that paxlovid unfortunately, does not really prevent long covid. doctor matt gerstenfeld said that they surveyed thousands of volunteers who were vaccinated and didn't have covid before paxlovid came out. they surveyed the volunteers once they were infected and then later again after they took paxlovid to see if they had long covid symptoms. >> taking paxlovid at the time that you have covid, the during the acute infection does not seem to be, uh, associated with a lower risk of having long covid down the road. among the people who are already vaccinated and having their first infection, doctor gerstenfeld said that researchers also found a higher than expected number of patients getting covid rebound symptoms after taking paxlovid. >> we reached out to pfizer, who
6:32 pm
makes paxlovid? they sent us a statement that said, in part, we are continuing to monitor data from our clinical studies and real world evidence and welcome independent research in academic discourse on long covid. paxlovid is not. authorized or approved for use as a treatment or prophylactic for long covid as it relates to rebound symptoms. pfizer said, quote, we believe covid 19 rebound is uncommon and not uniquely associated with any specific treatment. we remain very confident in paxlovid s clinical effectiveness at preventing severe outcomes from covid 19, and patients at high risk. despite the study, gerstenfeld reiterates that paxlovid is still an important treatment to prevent disease in people at high risk of severe covid. >> i think where our study kind of helps is those people who are at low risk but are taking paxlovid purely to try to prevent long covid. i think it weakens the evidence for that. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. more court documents are being released related to jeffrey epstein and his former associate ghislaine maxwell. >> the names of several high profile politicians and celebrities, and even a member of the royal family, are
6:33 pm
included as for those wondering whether anyone named in the documents could face criminal charges. that appears unlikely. >> there's a lot of quote unquote new information coming out, but it's not new to the authorities, right? it's new to us, the public, for the first time, we're seeing the names behind what is alleged here. but the people involved, the lawyers involved, and the authorities have all known this information. it's just that the public is learning for the first time. some of the names behind the various things that are alleged to have happened. epstein died by suicide while awaiting sex trafficking charges. >> maxwell is serving a 20 year prison sentence, and the fbi is piecing together the evidence tonight after a gunman opened fire at a school in iowa. >> one student was killed. five others, including the school principal, were hurt. police say the gunman was a student. here's abc news reporter alex presha with reaction from parents. >> an active shooter situation at perry high school outside of

6:35 pm
like the pain in your heart is just overwhelming. >> that's one of the worst moments of my entire life. but the best phone call i got was saying that they were okay. >> fbi and atf agents are assisting on the scene as investigators search for a motive. >> it's impossible to understand why anything like this happens. but again, i want you to know that we'll work tirelessly to get the answers so that we can prevent, if from happening again. >> now, as we learn more, one of the things this investigation will center on is a reported social media post that this suspect made. and what clue it could give police as to a potential motive. alex brashear, abc news perry, iowa glynis johns, who played with fred banks in the disney classic mary poppins, has died. >> walt disney chose jones to play the iconic role as a suffragette in the 1964 film. glynis was inducted as a disney legend in 1998. glynis johns was

6:41 pm
empty office buildings and boarded up storefronts. but gang remains optimism stick. >> it needs safe space. it needs a just people to come back to it. i mean, i think this is so important for cities. it it's like in new york in the subway, for example, when no one's writing it, it feels less safe than when people really just embrace it. so we have to make sure that our infrastructure is uh- work. being at capacity so that people feel comfortable using it. and that's already like a step to making it safer. >> san francisco's neighbor, silicon valley is a hub for innovation and creativity. gang believes it will take creative solutions to help turn around the city's housing crisis, and that includes repurposing commercial properties that now sit empty for residential use. >> when we design something from scratch, even thinking of the reversibility of it, how could it be made into more easily made into some other use in the

(bright upbeat music) indefinite suspension, but may be returning pretty soon. espn's adrian wojnarowski reported that draymond may return to the team facility in the coming days, although coach steve kerr said tonight he knows nothing about any of this. uh- greene was suspended indefinitely by the nba last month after smacking jusuf nurkic in the face during game with the suns. draymond has to meet several requirements and get approval from nba commissioner adam silver before he can play in games again. green is going to miss his 11th game tonight. warriors general manager bob myers now on espn, says just managing the draymond situation is exactly sting.

>> draymond green is such a good defensive player and has been such a great leader that's been tested lately. and there's a void i mean that's the truth. there's a void without him. when a player goes through something like this or a team, and i was there for many distractions. it's just hard. it takes energy. it takes energy to deal with these things. it takes energy to have to lose a player for a fair amount of time to bring them back into the fold. steve kerr is trying to figure out the rotations, and when draymond gets back, that kind of all starts over again. but it's something that has caused in many ways, a period of time where it's just a great amount of uncertainty and now they've got to come back. when he comes back when that is and figure it out again. and it's just exhausting. that's the hard part of it. not where they want to be. steve kerr is still trying to get it right. steph curry is still, i believe, probably the best leader in sports, so he's going to keep him on on the path. but um, you just got to get draymond back as soon as you can. and then plug him in and see what you can do.

>> on to the nfl. brock purdy won't play for the 40 niners this sunday against the rams. and then the 40 niners have a bye. so by the time the niners actually play in their first postseason game, purdy might be about three weeks removed from live game action for kyle shanahan, the head coach. this is the classic rest versus rust dilemma. >> i think i've done it. you know this year in terms of having some rest and then coming in and playing. um, and so that's something that's feels good to go back and remind myself about. and not only that, like going to be practicing against a really good defense. obviously our guys for the next couple weeks too. it's not like i'm going to be sitting on the couch for the next couple weeks doing absolutely nothing. you know, whoever we end up playing in the in in our first round, we'll be ready for it. >> it's been more than five months since the wildfires that destroyed lahaina. and today, one small sign that life is very slowly returning to normal the pga tour kicking off a new season at kapalua on maui only a few minutes away from lahaina, 59 of the world's best at kapalua for round one of the century. cool shot from pga tour player of the year scottie scheffler on 13 drive went no more than ten feet off the
