we're doing here. it goes beyond me. this is for the city. the hunt for a convicted east coast fugitive ends in the bay area. how the man known as the bad breath rapist was finally caught after 16 years on the run. the days of trains rolling into this antioch station are numbered. the concern about what the closure could mean for commuters and the city. >> our entire vision for downtown was shaped around this amtrak station. >> later, the world's largest digital camera could help us understand the secrets of the universe, but first they had to move. how they pulled off a risky journey to south america. >> it is kind of like having your kid go off to college, right? it's exciting and a lot of anxiety that will go along with it too. hi, i'm sara donchey, juliette has the day off. we hear a lot about the bay area cities that are hoping to make

their downtown more vibrant. they came together today to paint the pavement near san pedro square. this new community mural will run along the street, which was closed to cars since the pandemic. becoming a permanent mall. as len ramirez shows us, the artist behind it came up with a creative way to get people involved, bringing some color back to their city. >> reporter: this could be one of the largest paint by number projects that you'll ever see. more than a thousand volunteers coming out to contribute their little piece of the painting. it is one of the largest mural projects ever to take place in san jose. it's happening in the street. a giant community canvas all under the watchful eye of lead artist. >> all the paint has been done by volunteers. so i think that's one of the things that's most important about this the community has ownership of what we're doing here, you know. it's not just

me. it's for the city and the people. we've got the teal, orange, black and white. >> reporter: jimmy grew up in east san jose and says his art was influenced by the community around him. >> because people are going and coming from the sharks games. this is going to be kind of an entry way for that. and so that is why i chose these colors for the section. >> reporter: he was selected by the non-profit local color downtown association, which are sponsoring the block long mural. >> the title of this is threads woven. based on the blanket pattern. but what i wanted to do is kind of take the idea of the lines and colors involved and kind of have that more evolved with the lines and the shapes, intercepting, interlapping that will represent the diverse cultures and the communities within san jose. >> reporter: san jose mayor matt mahan and the city council members gave volunteers a helping hand with paint brushes and rollers. the project has an

economic not just artistic purpose with a goal of helping to breathe life back into one of the more important tax generating districts in the city. earlier this year, the street was permanently closed to car traffic to make it an inviting pedestrian friendly location. >> creating a space that's safe and clean and vibrant with public art is one way that the city can help facilitate that rebound, support our small businesses and diverse entrepreneurs. really ensure our best days are ahead of us. >> reporter: many of the volunteers are people that will come to san pedro street to eat, drink, shop. they work for a local tech company to take the time to lay down one piece of this kaleidoscope of color. >> i'm here every weekend, so i say why not be a part of it. and i am paying my tribute to the community. >> reporter: jimmy is working towards his art degree with the goal of one day teaching. >> i hope this is inspiration and motivation for the young

artist to continue pursuing their creative path. there will be opportunities for them to share their art. >> and with this project, he already has one big lesson already under his belt. >> the project will be finished on thursday. businesses are still open while the mural is being completed. like san francisco and oakland, san jose's downtown has struggled with transition to hybrid work. the vacancy rate was more than 35%. the first quarter of this year according to commercial real estate firm. but the university of toronto study rakes san jose second on their nationwide list, tracking downtown recoveries, based on the cell phone activity. and they reported that it may be quiet during the work day hours. weeknights are a different story. the owner of the sushi confidential told them the restaurant and nightclub industries are thriving. other stories we're following around the bay. san jose police arrested a shooting suspect in the city's 16th homicide this year in an

hour's long standoff. the suspect barricaded himself inside a home. police say one of the victims was taken to the hospital for minor injuries and later officers found the body of a woman inside the home who were shot and killed. investigators are still looking into what happened. a massachusetts fugitive known as the bad breath rapist has been arrested in the bay area after 16 years on the run. tuen kit lee disappeared after being found guilty in a 2007 trial. he was convicted of breaking into a home in the greater boston area and raping a woman in 2005. the victim worked as a waitress at a restaurant owned by the suspect's family. she says she recognized him because of his bad breath. massachusetts state police say they caught a break in the case early this year after new information revealed lee was possibly living in diablo near danville. he was taken into custody today by u.s. marshals and by police. no word on how soon lee could be extradited back to massachusetts. the man convicted of

attacking paul pelosi with a hammer has been sentenced again to 30 years in prison. david depape had to be resentenced after a mistake during the first sentencing when the judge didn't give depape the chance to make a statement. he made one today, apologizing for assaulting paul pelosi, the husband of the former house speaker. in 2022 depape broke into pelosi's home. depape's son spoke following his father's resentencing. >> the previous sentencing, he wasn't able to make a statement of remorse. despite his statement of remorse, they still gave him the absolute maximum sentencing, which i think a lifetime sentence is quite harsh. >> depape's federal case wraps up, he still faces trial in state court. a hearing in the case is scheduled for tomorrow. some people in antioch are worried about losing an important transit option. they're fighting back against

a plan to close the antioch-pittsburg amtrak station. the platform is set to shut down next year to make way for an opening new station in oakley. as wilson walker reports, there's concern the closure could cost the city in more ways than one. >> the last time it came, it was like gone. >> reporter: april hill has come to the antioch-pittsburg train station to send a visiting friend back to the san joaquin valley. she knows it probably won't be long before antioch says farewell to the downtown train station. the plan is to open another stop to the downtown oakley area. when that stop is open, the antioch stop will be decommissioned hill, since it has been scaled back to the minimum. >> yeah, a few years they have gotten rid of the benches and the ticketing kiosk. i mean at no time really nice anymore,

but now it's emptier. >> reporter: for starters, it's a long for passes and a loss can see improving with the larger cost. >> it was shaped around this am track station. >> reporter: mayor lamar hernandez thorpe is talking about how state and federal dollars for affordable housing are often tied to transit corridors. >> it literally cuts developers off certain funding that they could get or subsidies they could get because we will no longer have a major transportation hub downtown antioch. >> reporter: the san joaquin rail commission says they have been planning this move since 2017 citing issues with homelessness and vandalism. the commission also says the distance between antioch and oakley does not allow for both stops. >> you know, we talked to our congressmen. they're involved. but at the end of the day, this is not an amtrak issue, but the san joaquin joint powers

authority issue. they have the power to reopen and reactivate our train station. >> reporter: as the date draws closer, rebuilding the campaign to stop the closure. but at this point, a change of direction is unlikely. >> i don't think we could probably change their minds. they would change their minds a few years ago. >> now antioch is trying to set up a new kind of transit hub to maintain eligibility for those housing dollars. what is the time frame here? amtrak thinks construction will start in oakley some time in october of this year. that will take a year or so. barring any unforeseen circumstances that looks like antioch's last train will leave the station some time in the late 2025. peninsula politicians are calling this california's most dangerous train crossing. it's the track at colorado and broadway in burlingame. they want the state to restore over

$100,000 for three projects. senator joshua ferri said the problem is it's a crowded corridor and the sequence of the light is backing up traffic. >> we did the whole process and a car stuck on the tracks at a red light. >> there have been 13 collisions there. two of them deadly. the project here would lift the train track over the roadway. construction could start next year. crews will be shutting down one of the busiest streets in san francisco for ol repairs. starting tomorrow, two northbound lanes will be closed. the closures will take place at 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. through friday. and an update in the fire that tore through, where they are now saying they have identified a point of origin, where that fire started. they are still working to determine what caused it. and a check on our first alert weather too. the sun broke through after morning fog and things are about to start

warming up even more. let's get to meteorologist darren peck. >> reporter: for the next two days, sara, i don't think the marine layer is coming back at all. it won't be here. we will also lose something else. look at the wind, rushing through the san bruno gap. you can see how there is a big ban of orange right here. a 30 miles an hour gust. tomorrow you're warming up 10 degrees here and probably 5 degrees inland. a pretty significant change that will take place for thursday and friday. we will go over all the details on that including what it means for the weekend coming up in the complete forecast in just a few minutes. >> darren, thank you. still ahead, it's the largest camera ever built for astronomy. you can imagine it is no easy feat to move it. how stanford scientists pulled off an epic journey across the globe and how they

you're looking at the world's largest digital camera. designed by scientists to explore the mystery of the universe. taking pictures that could revolutionize astronomy. but first it had to go on a risky road trip across the globe. and the laboratory in menlo park to the andys mountains in chile. of course, this is some pretty important

and delicate equipment to move. brian hackney shows us how they did it. >> reporter: inside this room, the world's largest digital camera is finishing off ten years of construction. destination? universe. marco lopez has spent five years preparing for one day. the day the camera is finally shipped off. >> i personally am really interested in this project because it really feels to me like a progression in astro physics. >> reporter: but first it somehow has to get from stanford to this remote mountain top in chile. >> it is exciting with a lot of anxiety. >> reporter: travis lang is the project manager and this is not like shipping something on amazon. >> all the treats, they're all color coded. and that will help

us when we get on the number of tracks where we will have six trucks come and we're going to load all the crates to the containers to get them to the airport that day and the next day at 4:00 in the morning, we need to take it to the airport. >> reporter: this is the camera, the last to get a look inside the shipping container to push in the ride. >> and it will travel on the 747 freighter. >> reporter: that meant a late night trip to sfo. the riskest part to the airport. unloading at sfo, reloading on to the 270 cargo jet. lift off to a ten-hour flight and landing at 4:10 a.m. at the airport in chile. the airport container loaded up and then nine trucks drove in a slow convoy to a guarded gate at the base of the

observatory. >> and it is 35 kilometer dirt road up to the summit facility. we will go very slow. >> reporter: the trip took five hours and was pulled out. it will take the most detailed time lapse of the universe that we have ever seen. >> in the first year, we will collect more data in the history of astronomy, which is wild. we are more than doubling the amount of knowledge that's available. >> reporter: but before it all got underway, it took these technicians ten years to build. and five years to plan. the trip from crate to container from here to eternity. at least that's the next stop. >> the camera will eventually be installed on the observatories. the scientists will spend several months

testing it then late next year. they plan to begin a decade's long study of the universe by generating a panorama every few nights. coming up tonight, could counselors help police departments cut down on the use of force? norah o'donnell has more on the experimental partnership. coming up on the cbs evening news for our eye on america, we look at one sheriff's office with the unique program to decrease deadly encounters with police. how they are deploying compassion instead of force. that and more tonight right here on the cbs evening news. and still ahead, say good-bye to may gray. the sun will be sticking around this time. it's really going to heat up inland. darren is looking at a warm up in our first alert forecast.

well the timing didn't work out for a warm memorial day weekend, but darren, i don't know if we get points for that? >> if we could have shifted that a little bit, we are going back to 90 inland, so it will come on fast. but you could see

how things are changing to the. and tonight like we almost always do in may, it is not coming back for the next two days where you go back at 9:00 a.m. we woke up this morning and it was here. now watch the time lapse today as the clouds melted back where they cleared the city that will get scraped away and it is done until friday where it will come back. but before i get to the friday, a tiny drop. it will be that increase and the daytime highs from today and tomorrow and just your point of reference. first thing we'll do here is put on today's daytime highs. still in the 70s for the south bay with the marine influence. we're in the mid-70s for san jose. you made it up to 78 in livermore. let's just stay down here for a second and take

in the broad view including the santa clara valley for a moment. i want to do the transition. we're going to switch from where we were on today's daytime highs. we'll say good-bye to those for now. and i'll transition today's daytime highs as you could see the difference. so you're jumping up into the low 80s for livermore. remember where you were? you need to go into the 80s tomorrow. i think the place where we would notice the warm up the most tomorrow is actually up north from here any way. relatively speaking. that will be up here in the city. because today, you were in the low 60s. tomorrow you're going 69 on the verge of 70 degrees tomorrow already and it was a 61-degree day. the winds we were looking at were ripping through the gap and including everybody down today. those will weaken as well. so less clouds and less wind. you're going to get a little bit of a break in the winds and

certainly by thursday the temperatures will go up. we would look at the big picture view for that. the one thing that stands out about where we have been including yesterday, you know this is the water vapor. but that's us. now look at where they are doing with this trough of low pressure that is bringing in the cool air here. we would stop looking at that influence where we would see a big ridge of high pressure built up here and another way of looking at it in the western u.s. they will show you where that air is. you're going to see it is like the atmosphere is breathing, and there is a trend on here when they work their way further west, where we are really seeing the numbers and another way to watch it is so

transition to how far below or above average we are and a little below average for the last few days. as we get into thursday, we will clearly transition into those above average numbers and the temperatures here are going to start climbing up to 90 if you're inland. for some of those micro climates like the tri-valley, inland contra costa. we are just looking at wednesday on the floor map. that got you up into the low to mid-80s. well, what we've got to do now is go to the seven-day forecast. i'll show you the thursday, friday uptick with the numbers going even higher. we will start out with the inland climate first. and that layer will start to creep back in by the way. we'll wake up on friday morning. we'll be back into kind of a marine layer start to the day on friday at least for the interior of the bay. that's how we start that cool down. saturday those clouds will get far enough inland creeping into the trivalley. then you can see where you are and it does not

last long and temperatures will climb back up to the mid to upper 80s for the inland valleys by the time we would get to wednesday of next week. for the interior of the bay, just enjoy the next couple of days without the clouds getting in the way. wednesday and thursday morning, friday the clouds will start to build back in the morning and then you'll cool down, going into next weekend. all right, back to you. >> thanks. only a few hundred of these whales left. one of them was - lift the clouds off of... - virtual weather, only on kpix and pix+.

so it's a little bit hard to tell, but these are pictures of an extremely rare endangered whale. it may not look like much, but the forth pacific right whale was spotted friday. these images by scientists off the sonoma marin coast. there are only a few hundred of them alive. they are usually in the baring sea where they feed in the summertime. the last time it was spotted off the california coast was last year. the oakland ballers will make their home debut next week. finishing with two wins, four losses. before the team will head back to oakland for next tuesday's home opener against the high wheelers. our chop or got a look at raimondi park park this afternoon where they are putting the finishing touches to the new 4,000 seat stadium. the team invested $1.6 million
