surprised, but not surprised. >> what one officer is accused of saying about a black man he shot. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. hello, i'm sara donchey. it is a crime so horrific, it brings to mind acts of terrorism or perhaps the work of drug cartels. but this happened on an ordinary street in santa rosa where a woman in her 60s was found beheaded in her own home. police think it was someone in her own family who did it. they say he's still on the run tonight, and what's even more disturbing, he may still have the victim's head with him. our andrea nakano talked with a neighbor who might have witnessed the victim's final encounter with her killer. >> reporter: this is a crime that's shocked this neighborhood. many of the

neighbors around here say that this is relatively a safe and quiet area. now the question is why did this happen? jessica lives near the home where a santa rosa woman was found dead. she's concerned the suspect might return to the area and didn't want us to show her face. >> i just can't believe anyone would do that to her. >> reporter: jessica says she saw the suspect walking toward the home on thursday. >> he just walked at a normal pace, made an exact turn up the runway, and knocked normally on the door. i paused over here with my dog because i didn't know who this guy was, and just to make sure my neighbor knew who she was. >> reporter: she overheard the two talking, and nothing about the conversation alarmed her. >> i heard them talking action and she was like surprised and

happy. i heard the word you, and they were just, you know, talking. then the door closed. i thought oh, phew, she knows the guy. >> reporter: then three hours later, jessica heard a friend of the victim frantically running out of the house. >> she kept yelling no head. >> reporter: the head of the victim was missing from the scene. jessica says the victim's friend went in and out of the house looking for the head. moments later, a family member arrived. >> and the lady told me, you know, my sister, has no head. my sister's dead. >> reporter: arroyo-lopez is a relative of the victim who just got out of prison after serving time for assault with a deadly weapon against someone else. >> to have this incident happen where someone was very recently released from prison, to come directly to santa rosa with the apparent motive to just kill a family member is significant. >> reporter: neighbors are telling us lopez is the grandson of the woman, but that has not been confirmed. investigators want to know why

this happened. >> um, i know we've been reaching out to cdc to see if there's any correspondence they can help us out with to give us a clue as to why this is happening. and we're working with the family. to see if there's been a feud or something else that led to the violence. >> it's like how did he get in? was she involved with sending him to jail? >> reporter: santa rosa police say if you see this man to call 911. they found a weapon inside the home, but still consider lopez to be armed and dangerous. tonight, a racist text scandal uncovered within the san jose police department. an officer, who is being investigated after a high profile shooting, allegedly sent hateful texts about black people. it stems from a shooting last year inside a restaurant. kawan green had disarmed a gunman inside and was backing out with the gun when officer mark mcnamara shot

him four times. green is suing the city. police say a separate criminal investigation into one of its officers revealed mcnamara exchanged racist texts with another officer including referring to green using the n-word and other disparaging statements about black people. mcnamara has resigned, and the other officer he was texting with is now on leave. the police chief said in a statement there's zero tolerance for racial bias in the department. we did ask them this evening to talk to us on camera, but they declined. san jose's mayor did speak with us tonight, though, and he said the city would work to ensure all employees are held accountable. >> i speak with the police chief almost daily. we've been in discussion obviously the last day and a half on this matter, and will continue to be. as you know, there's an ongoing investigation going on, and if additional information comes to light, we're going to do exactly what the chief did today, which is release that

information to the public in the spirit of full transparency as soon as we are legally allowed to. reverend jethro moore ii says he's had ongoing talks with the city's police chief on how to make sure the the black community feels safe. >> the conversations we'll have in the coming days is how we can vet our officers to ensure the community that we're going to rid any officer with a racist tendency toward anybody that's a member of the san jose, santa clara county police departments. >> the union that represents san jose cops also issued a statement that said in part this behavior is unacceptable, and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms. with the war in gaza

raging, the secretary of state returned to tel aviv to urge a humanitarian pause to the war in gaza. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he won't consider anything that doesn't involve the release of some 240 hostages hamas is holding. but both men are warning israel's iran-backed enemies from expanding the war beyond gaza. we have been following the story a cnn journalist who's been documents his family's search for safety inside gaza. he was recently staying at a refugee camp, but tonight we learned he and his family crossed the border into egypt.

scalers this afternoon. the vessel headed out later after a nearly ten-hour delay. the first friday of the month in oakland isn't just a day before the weekend. they have become an institution. but one of the most popular street festivals in the bay area will be going on hiatus early next year. the organizers say they've fallen on hard times financially, and it's a huge blow to mobile vendors who rely on events like these to stay afloat. >> reporter: the community came out in full force for one of the final first fridays of the year. now vendors have to make other plans for the temporary break planned for next year. ♪ [ music ] ♪ >> reporter: they come for the music, the food, art, and community. for years, thousands of attendees visit telegraph avenue in oakland on the first friday of each month. the festival, which began in 2006, supports more than 60 vendors

and small businesses. but the organization recently announced that it's run out of money to keep it going all of next year. the observer of zeba has had a booth here for the last seven years. >> definitely not a great feeling because this is one of the best events i do. i like to come here every month. it's a busy event for me. as a small business owner, this helps a lot. >> reporter: he sells jewelly made in his homeland of india. >> this helps pay my bills, and not having it will have an effect. >> reporter: first fridays said they'll close from january to march. it costs about $45,000 each month to put on the street fair. and the organization is short about $100,000. it will work on securing new funding during the break. >> so the cost of the event has continued to rise faster than

we can, you know, adjust to. and with the construction of the bike lane we've lost nearly $10,000 in revenue. we have to recoup that. >> reporter: this former oakland resident used to be a regular attendee. >> i looked forward to it every month. it makes me sad. i feel like it's such a bay area culture thing. i love the food. i feel like it's a community event as well. >> it's really nice. it reminds me of home. i'm from alabama, and we'll have first fridays. >> reporter: vendors don't yet have a plan to cover the unexpected losses. >> i don't know, we'll try to find other events. >> organizers say the festival will be back the first friday of april 2024 whether they have the money or not. don't mistake these for

left over halloween candy. a police canine sniffs out over a thousand doses of an illegal drug. and it's the first time scientists have done this. >> we'd like to say if you're putting on a pair of glasses, and something bury before now becomes clear. >> the tool measuring tiny changes in sea level from miles up in space. we had a spectacular sunset across the bay area this evening as high cloud cover was beginning to roll into the skies overhead. more clouds as we head into the weekend, and eventually a better chance of showers. tracking it coming up in the first alert forecast. paul will definitely have something more to say about this. one of the more divisive traditions is upon us. the time

>> bart is a train wreck. >> reporter: the last time you rode bart? >> about a year and a half ago. >> people no longer think it's safe. >> from the ideal ride to a public transit system in peril, how did bart go off the tracks? bart on the brink, a week long series starting sunday on kpix. police in san pablo say they busted a man driving around with over a thousand ecstasy pills. the pills were all pastel colored. more fallout for alaska airlines tonight after an off duty pilot tried to kill the plane's engines in the middle

of a flight to sfo last month. three passengers are suing the airline saying joseph emerson shouldn't have been allowed to ride in the jump seat because he was depressed and sleep deprived. the passengers' attorney claim the whole thing was more traumatizing than alaska airlines is making it seem. >> imagine looking at the window for 20 minutes and thinking you're going to die. that was the actual feeling on that flight. >> emerson faces state and federal charges. the lawsuit doesn't list a dollar amount for damages but asks the court to make alaska do better when screening its crew. from fresh water rivers and lakes to the oceans, in tonight's project earth, we look at the ground breaking technology watching the rising sea levels from space. >> reporter: this last winter,

heavy rains, winds, flooding, it was pretty wild. now on the heels of a record setting hot july, california is likely to face another intense winter driven by a strong el nino and unusually warm ocean waters. but way up high, circling the earth, there's a ground breaking difference. >> engine ignition, and lift off. >> reporter: about a year ago, nasa launched a new satellite into orbit. its goal the gain a better understanding of the world's oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. it is known as the surface water and ocean topography mission or swot for short. >> it can basically look at how much water is changing over the entire globe. >> reporter: meteorologist marina jerca would know, she was involved in the mission. >> i was able to travel to alaska and oregon and help not only show the work being done,

but put in river gauges which is a tough process. that way once the satellite was launched, it could get the data from the rivers and from the lakes and reservoirs and ensure that it was accurate so that we knew that swot was working perfectly because we're comparing it to all the gauges we put, not only in america, but all over the world. >> reporter: currently she's also forecasting for our sister station in los angeles. we asked her what makes this mission so different from the others. it's all about a new kind of radar. >> if you're putting on a pair of glasses, and something that was blurry before now becomes very clear. so the resolution and fine detail at the coastline is unprecedented. that, of course, is extremely important for california as we move forward in what we need to plan with the future of sea level rise and how that is impacting us here, especially in this state. >> reporter: the satellite will measure the height of nearly all the water on the earth's

surface. nasa just released this visualization of swot's full 21-day orbit that ended in august. nasa scientists are clear, sea levels are rising as a result of human-caused global warming. ice sheets and glaciers are melting, and the expanding sea water is warming. events such as el nino could accelerate sea level rise by up to a foot. the hope, that this mission will help coastal communities and governments take the science more seriously. >> well, i hope just putting the information in their hands will make it very prevalent to what steps they need to take. do we need to raise our sea walls, do we need to protect bays and estuaries. i know in san francisco sea level rise would create huge problems for that area. so the rate of sea level rise, which is what we're going to forecast, will be able to make what changes need to be made immediately happen. >> reporter: tracking the

world's water in hopes to better plan for a warming planet. all right, we have over the course of the last couple of days kept our eye on the possibility of rain. paul was off for a couple of days, and in that time i know from darren there were a lot of changes in the forecast models. >> yeah, kept getting pushed back, like oh maybe it will rain friday. no, maybe saturday. now we're pushing it back even farther. the rain stays to our north tomorrow. it's a parade of storm systems moving towards the west coast. the first of which is aiming all the moisture at the pacific northwest along the coast of washington and oregon. it's just a little too far away to give the bay area any chance of rain on saturday. more clouds, just no rain. the next one will also be to the north, but just close enough that we'll see rain chances moving in sunday and monday. let's look at futurecast and track the clouds thickening up through tonight. locally dense fog along the bay and coast to start the day on saturday. kind of a mix of clouds and sunshine. but the

rain staying up to our north. that begins to change late saturday night. really in the pre-sun rise hours of sunday we'll see showers working toward the north bay. they'll be slow to make their way farther south and farther inland, but eventually that's going to happen. this particular forecast model is probably the wettest case scenario. be flexible with outdoor plans sunday afternoon. it's a decent chance of rain in the forecast sunday. and another chance after that as we head into the beginning of the work week on monday. adding up the rain for much of the bay area, this isn't going to be a huge rain maker for us. barely more than a trace. less than a tenth of an inch in most areas. the exception the north bay. but keep in mind, we have another rain chance for monday. right now, temperatures slowly cooling down. but it's a mild evening. that blanket of clouds moving in is enough to hold

warmth to the ground level. mostly in the 60s right now, and we drop only to the 50s. there should be a lot of 40s on the map on a november morning, but we're not seeing that tomorrow. temperatures inland still warm nicely. about five degrees above normal. mid to upper 70s inland in the east bay, and the tri-valley and delta. but where the fog and cloud cover slow up the warm up, low 70s around the bay in fremont and redwood city. mid to upper 60s san francisco and oakland. and the north bay, you won't be as warm as other inland parts of the bay area, not because of the fog, but the clouds will be a little thicker keeping your temperatures generally in the lower half of the 70s for highs tomorrow. cooler weather to come as the rain chances move through. it's also the weekend where we set the clocks back. daylight time coming to an end as we return to fake time. it's a good excuse to remind yourself to check out the batteries in your

smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors. the good news is, you get an extra hour of sleep. the bad news is it gets darker earlier. seven-day forecast, a decent rain chance in the forecast sunday and monday. i think monday is actually the more impressive chance of showers, especially for farther inland parts of the bay area. then the cooler air the systems usher in sticks around through most of next week. we have a three-day stretch of dry weather across the entire bay area, but temperatures won't warm much. hovering just a couple degrees below average tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. then farther down the line after the three-day stretch of dry weather, we are tracking another chance of showers heading our way. but it's the tail end of the seven-day forecast, and it's lower than a 50/50 chance at this point. we'll keep an eye on it. all right, paul, thank you. coming up, if this isn't a jackpot shot, i don't know what is, matt lively.

>> i can't wait to see that. coming up in sports, the first in season tournament game in warriors history. how it went in okc. where it came down to a controversial ending. did the warriors' road magic continue? we'll show you. a lot of people were excited tonight for the tip off of the nba's new in season tournament, but nobody is happier than this guy. >> first night of the in season tournament, we've already had

fireworks. how about this gentleman? from half court for $10,000. >> that was a forrest gump move to just run away. he banks it in and does the run off. hopefully he came back for the check. something tells me he did. >> he looks like steph. >> in season tournament exciting and confusing. >> very confusing. warriors played in their first in season tournament game. i want to give a refresher, explanation. basically it starts with four pool play games, then a knockout round, and then semis and a championship game. it's just confusing. but this was the first of those four pool play games. part of in season tournament, very loud courts. here was the look in okc. not sure how i feel. but that didn't stop the buckets from

falling. final minutes of the shoot out. klay thompson knocks down the triple, ties the game at 133. green lobs it up for gary, gives the warriors the lead. thunder tie the game at 139. final seconds, steph's got it. finger roll, game winner. initially waved off for goal tending on green, but it counts. 141-139. they're now 1 and 0 in the in season tournament. the key to the win, the bench stepped up. another great game for osarge. he scored a season high 20 points in 20 minutes off the bench. and chris paul embracing his six man role, he had just one point. he was 0 of 6 shooting, but finished
