area moving forward, finding solution. this is abc7 news. there is national attention on the antioch police department and now a new cause for concern discovered by the abc seven news i-team. good evening. i'm amanda. and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. for weeks we've tracked the rise of outrage surrounding text messages sent among antioch police department members, texts that are racist and misogynistic with words and images so disturbing wliterally can't show them on tv now, that issue is what abc seven news reporter ozer hasan has been tracking very closely. he'll join us live tonight with an update on that story. also joining us live is abc seven news i-team reporter dan noyes on a story that is new for you at six antioch police never charged this man. they said just wanted to talk to him. so why did they treat him like this? that cell phone video obtained by the abc seven news i-team is at the center of a federal civil rights lawsuit

just filed. dan is here with this report. you'll see only on seven dan? well, dan and ama, antioch police are already dealing with a widespread scandal. dozens of officers accused of exchanging racist texts. this man's attorney wonders if the cases are related . 29 year old rebecca rodriguez is an after school program teacher. 30 year old won the spot as a stay to home dad for their three children and a part time construction worker. they were leaving a friends apartment on a friday evening in february of last year when an antioch police officer approached was like, are you guys okay? i said , we're fine. he said, we're fine. and then we thought that would be it. you just kept, like, insisting to speak to me. and i was like, you know, like, i don't need to speak to you. i'm not on probation. i'm not on parole. i don't have to speak to you. and did he accuse you of anything? and no, he didn't. he didn't say nothing. he doesn't say why he was there. he didn't nothing. and they were just looking for their uber ride home. but the conversation with the officer escalated. and i did

make a comment like, you know, you look like you're on steroids. and i went to go walk away. and when i went to go walk away, he grabbed me because i had to walk down the stairs, go past them. he slammed me on the ground. i wait what their attorney gave me three minutes of cell phone video showing officers covering one spot on the ground, raining punches down, kicking him, punching rebecca. and at one point, after they applied handcuffs, an officer crosses juan's ankles and puts his full weight down. my legs are going to break. my legs are going to break, bro. my legs pop to that hurt bad. and i felt that it also hurt rebecca to see the father of her children that way. it was really hard. i didn't know what was going to happen after that either. when they took me, you know, i was scared for him. their federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of antioch and its police officer says they arrested juan and rebecca, but neither was charged with a crime. no charges. so all that over? nothing. over nothing. stanley goff is their

attorney. does a person have to talk to the police? know if you're not being detained based on some kind of suspicion that you have engaged in criminal activity, you don't have to speak to the police. the lawsuit accuses the officers of excessive force, unlawful detention, false arrest, illegal search and racial profiling. golf has not identified the officers yet, but has concerns they may be wrapped up in the racist text scandal rocking the antioch police department right now. there's a climate going on in the city of antioch in general in which there are a slew of officers who are engaging in a whole list of forms of misconduct. and this is just another example of that. antioch police told me they have no comment on this and i haven't heard back from the city attorney's office. i'll keep track of this case and how it moves forward. dan okay. thank you, dan, very much. as the antioch police department texting scandal investigation continues to unfold and many community members and activists continue to demand accountability, today, the east

county chapter of the naacp held a special meeting with contra costa county district attorney diana beckton. abc seven news reporter sarah hudson spoke to a member after the meeting and joins us live with the latest. unser yeah, on dan and i'm a good evening we did talk to the member they say that they met with the da for about an hour. they say they now better understand the process. they were assured of transparency throughout the investigation and for those demanding immediate justice to understand that this investigation could take a few years, members of the east county naacp say they want accountability and they're thankful that elected officials are listening. it was a big deal. we are very grateful for her to step up and try to respond to us and the community . dr. kimberly payton is vice president of the east county chapter, which includes antioch . they held a meeting with contra costa county district attorney dana beckton to discuss the texting scandal at the antioch police department. just

knowing that, you know, even a few years ago, this even if this kind of complaint had came forward, it may not have reached this level. payton says part of the discussion centered around the actual investigation. she says they were told that despite the racist text messages, racism in and of itself may not be a crime unless acted upon. payton says their concern isn't just about the possible racist attitudes, but how that could impact an officer's ability to investigate. so dana beckman's office is looking into the criminal side of things. the air side of things, which would be the hate piece that falls back on the city of antioch and their protocols of how they reprimand their officer because the hiring and firing, after all, rests with them. we come here today in support of good police before the meeting with the da members held a press conference at the antioch police department. catherine wade, describe what police texted about her son, mallard baldwin, who was mentioned in the da reports.

this is one part of the text message about my son. when you talk about holding his legs open and beating him in his private part, this is from a police these are from this these are police is discussing this. according to the city, close to 20% of the police department is now on paid leave, but up to 40% of the entire police force may have been involved. but according to data from the contra costa county public defender's office, payton says they understand the investigation will take time. but in the end, they don't want officers who are convicted to be allowed to remain in law enforcement. this has been a long time coming. the communities of pittsburgh and antioch have been plagued with just the disease of just dysfunctional police behaving really badly. and so we are really glad that this is finally coming to light. patton says that under the current timeline, there could be some new developments come july . now, the antioch city council is meeting tonight at seven. the texting scandal is not on the

agenda, but will likely come up during public comment reporting live on abc seven news. all right, sir, thank you so much. and if you are looking for an ally, go to abc seven news. take action. we've put together a list of local resources on various topics ranging from dealing with abuse to standing up for your rights right now to developing news. the stabbing death of cash app founder bob lee. we've still yet to hear a plea from the man accused of killing him. abc seven news was in the courtroom today, but the arraignment for suspect nima, many did not happen as expected. do my job effectively. i need the police reports. it's like that's why i said that sort of thing. like it's not rocket science. if the police are going to make an arrest, they are duty bound to make these materials available to defense counsel. we have provided discovery on a rolling basis, as we do in every case. a new arraignment date has been set for a week from today. san francisco police say bob lee was stabbed to death by nemo. many three weeks ago in the

dozens of people on both sides expressed their concern. now supporters of the legislation argue it will bring more equality to people seeking asylum in san mateo county and prevent collusion from ice. but opponents argue part of it overlooks public safety. supervisor ray mueller, the only one to vote against the policy, supports the intent of the legislation, but introduced three amendments to exempt immigrant who commit violent crimes such as murder, rape or child molestation. he says he's concerned those released from prison and deported will come back into the community to retaliate and county law enforcement won't be able to intervene. supervisor david canepa, who authored the legislation, says immigration officials will still cooperate with any federal criminal investigation. but to be clear, the county will not under this ordinance. the debate on whether or not to include the amendments became the sole focus of the meeting as lengthy public comment was raised from immigrant rights advocates. community members and victims of crimes. while both sides were

heard, numerous people called out to condemn the personal attacks made by supervisor canepa against supervisor mueller. here's how it started. but let me tell you this where you live in menlo park, it is the latino community. it's all these other communities that make your kale salad when it comes to your white linen tables where you eat. we're preparing your food. we're picking your produce, but you want to vilify us. you want to vilify us. you don't know anything as i have already shared. there were members of the community that support me wholeheartedly. i understand that not everyone agrees with the position that they take. and i taken this hearing, but i think it's unfortunate the level of vilification of those thoughts and mine that are taking place. supervisor mueller referenced the items reporting last night, revealing at least 35 immigrants

convicted of serious felonies in mateo county from 2018 to 2021, many of whom had a long history of prior arrests. now, we tried to speak with supervisor canepa about this data, but we were told multiple times he was unavailable. today. he criticized our report but has yet to respond to any of our requests to share the facts that we have presented. well of course, stay posted with any update for sure. right. stephanie, thank you. and if you have a story for the abc7 news i-team, call this number on your screen. 188840. it minnesota abc7 news slash it. all right, let's move on and talk about gorgeous weather. that's only going to get a little warmer. yes breaking out the shorts. san diego time for the shorts and the short sleeves for sure. and dan and we're going to be cranking the heat. it's going to be in the 90s before you know, it. let me show you a live picture from our east bay hills camera. we are looking at green hills, blue skies up above. really. we're going to be seeing plenty of sun over the next

is nonsense, this group of neighbors expressed their outrage, confusion and fear after learning the incident happened just feet from where they live. around 12th avenue and east 15th street police say that's where the family of the 15 month old suddenly heard a barrage of bullets. they immediately take cover inside their vehicle as the sound of gunfire stopped. the victim, who is 15 month old, was seated in a car seat, began to cry. it wasn't until returning home nearby, her father realized his baby had been shot by a stranger. stray bullet. they immediately drove to the nearest fire station to get help. surveillance video from a convenience store across the street shows the moments the family frantically knocked at the door of station four fire chief reginald freeman described how his team sprung into action. thankfully, our crews and personnel were here in the firehouse at the time. i am so proud of their heroism. but if it were not for our paramedics and our emts, that child most likely would have lost their

life. according to oakland fire and ambulance arrived just two minutes later and transported the infant to children's hospital after extensive surgery. the girl is said to be in stable condition. oakland police ask anyone with additional information to come forward. deon lim, abc seven news. now, not far from where that infant was shot. a woman was wounded during an armed robbery. today this violence was caught on camera. the victim was sitting at oakland's fm smith rec center on park boulevard when two suspects approached her. and after a violent tussle over the purse, the victim ran after the suspects. that's when police say one of them opened fire, hit her once they got away, police say the victim was taken to the hospital. a high school student went to the hospital after being stabbed on campus at northgate high school in walnut creek. officials say the incident involved two students, both ninth graders. around 1:00 this afternoon. the student accused of the stabbing is in custody. no one else was involved. classes continued after the stabbing. counselors were brought on campus, though,

and will remain on site tomorrow. northgate is located in a residential neighborhood east of downtown walnut creek. a veteran oakland police homicide investigator has been charged with perjury and bribing a witness. now, an arrest warrant has been issued for that officer and the district attorney says 100 other cases that he was a part of are now in jeopardy. abc's seven news reporter ryan curry has more. oakland homicide investigator phong tran, seen on the left, has been charged with two felony counts of perjury for allegedly lying under oath during a murder trial. he has also been charged with one felony count of bribing a witness. detective tran lied about his connection to the witness and the payments to her under oath. alameda county district attorney pamela price released a video statement tuesday saying this stems from a 2011 murder investigation. two men were convicted and sentenced to life in prison for shooting and killing a man in north oakland. the charges against the men were vacated last year. court documents say a key witness originally claimed to

have seen the shooting but recanted her testimony, admitting she witnessed neither the shooting nor the people responsible for it. those documents also mentioned she admitted she was paid for her testimony by the oakland police department and officer tran, specifically in the form of cash and checks. i spoke with the witness earlier. she did not want to be interviewed, but says tran used her because he knew she needed to provide for her family. district attorney price called these charges serious. she says her office has to now go through more than 100 previous cases to see if there was possible misconduct. my office now has to review at least 125 other cases that detective tran investigated. others in oakland want these charges dropped against officer tran immediately. there's no grounds, no bearing here that would indicate that the charges that they've charged this officer with are ever going to come anywhere. barry donelan, president of the oakland police officers association, says tran has spent years solving homicides in oakland. he says

this move reflects negatively on the district attorney. it's clearly an effort to discredit homicide investigators in order to take people who've been convicted of homicide and get them out on the street in oakland. ryan curry, abc7 news. caltrans today paid tribute to its employees who died on the job, including a worker hit and killed in the bay area. those honored included shonda mccadden. she was a landscape maintenance worker who was hit and killed outside her vehicle last year in vacaville. caltrans executives paid tribute to all the fallen and spoke about the agency's commitment to safety. we have a goal that by 2050 that we don't lose another life on our roadways. every caltrans worker, every member of the traveling public will be able to go home safely. nearly 200 caltrans workers from across the state were remembered during this ceremony in oakland. the names of each employee was read

statue depicted former san jose mayor thomas fallon during a time that was considered brutal for native american and mexican communities. carl sotero has been fighting against the statue since the beginning. today he and others stopped by to grab a souvenir. he says just like the statue represented a terrible time in history. this simple bolt. what does it represent? victory but not everyone sees it that way. some argue today the statue removal actually represents a wrongful removal of history. former san jose mayor tom mchenry echoed a similar thought in 2021 when discussing the statue that he was instrumental in putting up in the city sins and oppression and mistakes. all of those happened under each flag and they deserve to be excoriated and they have been muhammad lonnie tribe chairwoman. charlene supports the $450,000 removal of the statue, but does not want to erase the history. she hopes the statue will be eventually moved to a museum because both sides of the story need to be

connie lloyd and her husband, nicholas. he had received payment from edd. and since not all of the money was needed right away, he used his edd account like a bank account and just left the money sitting there. it's just another bank. it should be fine. you never touched it. you could see, like on some of the transaction histories, the most we've spent on it is like $50. but after a while, nicholas spotted a problem. i checked my card balance and it showed $52 was and there should have been over like five grand in there. here's the account and the money taken out. nicholas contacted the bank and received this letter that said in part, we found that the transaction was made by someone you authorized while still dealing with the bank. the lloyds contacted seven on your side and then within three days they had called us and told us

for as as possible? for me, right now, it's just a tolerance on like the pad of my finger making sure i can shoot the ball. so he's not saying i'm going and i'm going to play 40 minutes. he yeah, he's going to try to give it a go. you know. and so i think that's what you just go with at the end of the day and, and you see what happens. at this point during the season. something hurts anyway. so i mean, you, you, you play through the pain. there's no excuses coming from this way . he's playing. as for the warriors, they've turned up the intensity on defense in the playoffs they held on for dear life at the end of game four to even the series of two games apiece. nice close out by steph after they doubled the aaron the dubs road struggles though have been well documented all season . steve kerr says his team's commitment to defense right now much better than we saw in the regular season games one and two. and in sacramento. and despite not playing very well, especially offensively, turning it over, we gave ourselves a chance by defending in the half

court. and i think that's what's different about our team right now. rather than say, well, it's been this way all year, we're different now, we're much better defensively. this is the best offensive team in the league and through four games we've done a pretty good job. just got to get one in sacramento. the nfl draft is coming up right here on abc seven. round one is thursday night. now the 49 ers don't have a pick until round three, which could change if they decided to move. trey lance, espn's dan orlovsky really impressed with brock purdy's play last season, but who knows how long he's going to be out? how long will his elbow take to heal? will he be ready by september? lance is the great mystery, though. injuries have made it almost impossible to really evaluate him. and the niners gave up three number one picks to get him and then there's sam darnold, former number three overall pick who was just acquired this offseason. you feel great about the performance by brock last year the way he handled everything you have to figure out where he is with his health with trey. he hasn't played trey got 416 pass

attempts in a competitive environment since 2016. so you just don't know what you have. i'm a sam darnold guy. i think he's never had this situation of great coaching and really good talent around him. i think that this is an nfc championship football team or back to the nfc championship game football team with other a healthy brock purdy or a sam darnold. all right the nfl draft begins thursday night right here on abc seven at 5 p.m. we got a special edition of after the draft following round one with analyst mike pawlowski joining me in studio, and chris alvarez with a special interview with niners linebacker fred warner. i don't see the 49 ers trading trey lance. i don't think he can get the value back for him at this point because he's hardly played and they gave up so much to get him so we'll see. we'll see. though, finally, one ratings note on the warriors kings game on sunday. highest rated first round playoff game in the nba in 21 years. wow really? yes. wow. 7.5 million
