bar. his dad is a dodgers security guard. according to police, after the group left the bar around 11:30, it was here on 3rd near harrison street that they ran into four suspects, one in a giants cap. the police chief says those giants fans did not attend the game and were leaving a nearby nightclub when their paths crossed and turned deadly. >> there was an initial fight and nobody was seriously injured and then that fight stopped and then for whatever reason, one or more of the parties wouldn't let it go and there was a second altercation and that's when the stabbing occurred. >> reporter: police are now going door to door in the area looking for the weapon and any video of the crime. investigators say the car the suspects were driving is registered in lodai. the victim has a history of alcohol-related arrests. however, police do not know if alcohol was a factor in last night's fatal fight. the giants issued a statement

just feel horrible for his mom and his brothers and just his whole family. >> reporter: denver just started a job as an apprentice that north coast plumbing in ft. bragg where his boss and co-workers told us he was a fine young man trying to find his pa in life. denver did have two recent brushes with law in mendocino county, one for driving under the influence in july and a second this month. an arrest at the local county fair. denver had no history of violence and his friend told us he was probably trying to protect his friends and family. what do people know about him? >> that he was a really great guy and would do anything for anybody and always put a smile on people's faces when he was around. >> reporter: lori anthony, abc 7 news. >> jonathan's father was a security guard for the dodgers. the team released this statement today. "there's no rational explanation

for this senseless act which resulted in jonathan's death. the pain it caused his family and friends is unimaginable. friends are not enough to describe our sadness." this attack comes days after a fan suffered a concussion and broken arm following a beaten at sunday's 49ers/colts game at candlestick park. >> then, of course, there was the vicious beating of a giants fan, bryan stow at dodgers stadium in april of 2011. the incidents highlight a rash of van violence across the country. >> the giants and dodgers resume their series this evening. heather, with some more security. >> reporter: well, that's right, and also before the game tonight, there will be a moment of silence honoring the victim, jonathan denver. on either side of that silence, loud calls for this kind of fan-based violence to come to an end now. giants fan bryan stow was brutally assaulted outside dodgers stadium in 2011, has permanent brain damage and is still recovering from his

the ball field. and not in the stands and not on the streets. >> reporter: the city and the giants plan to work together on violence prevention. abc 7 news. unfortunately, violence leading to serious injuries at local sporting events is not uncommon. in october of last year, an elk grove man was stabbed during an argument between fans at a 49ers game. two suspects were arrested. and in august of 2011, two men were shot in the parking lot outside candlestick park before a 49ers/raiders preseason game and another fan was severely beaten inside a stadium restroom. stay with abc 7 news for continuing coverage of the story. the latest on the investigation at 11:00 as well as online at abc7.com. follow us on twitter @abc7newsbay area. the man accused in the shoots death of a san francisco state student had weapons and survivalist gear in his apartment. >> 20-year-old justin valdez was shot in the back and killed while getting off a muni street

the end zone for the 49ers game, you are looking at a really -- eastbound side of 80 but in the westbound direction is where the alert is located. westbound 80 at san pablo dan road. in the eastbound direction, we have miles of backup coming away from the maze. going to take you 25 minutes. here's another picture of the fire. see lanes are currently blocked. two lanes as a matter of fact. very slow drive for you. you want to get on to the roads as soon as possible. humidity is low and a high wind warning is in effect around the bay area. that, of course, means high fire danger. >> let's take you outside now. this is the view from our camera. conditions are calm right now. winds are expected to pick up overnight. >> abc 7 morning news meteorologist is pulls double duty, here with a first look at the forecast. >> hey, dan, good afternoon, everybody. don't be fooled. it's 4:00 in the afternoon. you can see a lot of sunshine behind me. look at the flag on pier 9. it is breezy here at the lower levels. that's not what we're worried

about. we're worried about above 1,000 feet and the winds have been light for the better part of today. see the dry air taking any radar return away from us. all the moisture is there on the right side of your screen. look at the thunderstorms over the sierras. you may have noticed how dry it is today, drinking more water, possibly even, you know, scratchy throat from time to time. what we're going to deal with as we look at the winds is the high fire danger. red flag warning will continue until about 3:00 tomorrow afternoon. now, it's above 1,000 feet and it's also pretty much for, there you go, the north bay mountai mountainses. good news, the winds aren't quite as fast as originally thought. gusts 25 to 30 over our highest peaks. so far, our fastest winds have been 19 miles per hour. the berkeley hills about 22. hamilton and diablo, 3,83,800 t 4,000 feet. the fire threat continues.

i'll show you how long it's going to last in your accu weather seven-day forecast coming up. >> mike, thank you. the high fire danger throughout the bay area is a concern for firefighters and homeowners who are paying close attention to the warning. >> abc news reporter nick smith is live from the oakland hills where it's warm and windy. nick? >> reporter: absolutely. dry, windy conditions means that this can become fuel which is why officials have issued that red flag warns. in fact, they've warned that anyone visiting waukeen miller park not use the grill and they're cautioning anyone stay a away from anything that might cause a spark. >> the very hot october morning and a very windy. >> reporter: conditions similar to today. gregory ross and his wife, cynthia, have lived this home since 198 o and know the serious threat of a red flag warning. they were among the fortunate to survive the devastating 1991 fire storm that destroyed 3,500 homes and killed 250 people in

the fire. >> the winds are blustery this morning. i was concerned about the winds. someone may be trying to barbecue or something like that. >> reporter: she's right. most people equate high fire danger with high temperatures and that's not always true. according to fire officials, though the bay area has had significant rainfall over the last few days, the wind has dried out the light fuels in the hills. >> with the low humidity and the wind, we are at a high fire danger and a red flag warning. >> reporter: making conditions ripe for a fire. but even with those warnings in place, in the event of an emergency, some areas of the oakland and piedmont hills would be a challenge for the fire trucks to get through, prompting officials to post warning signs based on the probability of ignition, the effects of wind, slope and fuel. >> if they want to introduce added fadd ed tax, i think that would be a practical thing to do. >> reporter: in november voters will have an opportunity to renew an existing tax that could raise $1.8 million to address issues of infrastructure and force compliance with fire inspection results, education,

and improve firefighter outreach. the price to keep everyone safe and potentially prevent the loss of property and lives. in oakland, nick smith, abc 7 news. still ahead on abc 7 news at 4:00, larry biel and hall of famer jerry rice preview the 49ers game and ckey offensive liner for the niners. and i'm eric thomas. >> in the next half hour, we'll take a look at candlestick's

>> more intensity. that's enough. and the kind of harbaugh captain comeback-like feeling on this team. >> yeah, you know, come back and fight and, you know, when your back is against the wall, they're 1-2 right now, all they have to do is get this game tonight. get some positive momentum going. then they can just move on from there. >> colin kaepernick has struggled, and last year took the lead by storm with the read option. but the niners were afraid to run it because they don't want to get killed. it hasn't been that effective. is the read option dead right now? >> i think it is because if you can't run the ball, and the thing, too, they can't throw the ball downfield, so what defenses are doing right now, they're stacking the box and taking it away, so i feel like it's dead. until they can prove that they can run it and also throw it, they're not going to be able to do anything on the football field. >> well, we'll see if they can pull it off against the rams. by the way, we have a special demonstration at 4:30.
