benefit even more. >> building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions, this is abc 7 news. >> in the mysterious saga of a billion-dollar land act as isham in solano county that some say raises concerns about national security. good evening. >> thank you for joining us. the abc 7 news i team has confirmed the investment firmbes acquired nearlyll the available land surrounding travis air fase. this comes as a survey was sent out to residents prompting more questions from local officials. >> i see it has an tonight with exclusive new developments, you'll see only on seven. steph, thanks for being here. >> yes, karina, tonight we can

confirm local and federal officials are concerned that flannery has acquired land adjacent to a critical communications squadron on the base that is privy to sensitive information tied to our national security. all of this unfolding as a survey was sent out to residents this week. several mayors believe is tied to flannery. it's raising questions as to what will happen with more than 55,000 acres that's now been acquired. the mystery shrouding a massive nearly billion dollar land acquisition encroaching one of the most critical military bases in the western us has yet another layer . >> flannery just bought other land that goes right up to the base. and so the entire base is encircled. >> now public records obtained by the i-team show the investment firm flannery associates has now acquired all the available land surrounding travis air force base county. maps are still in the process of being updated, but the parcels highlighted in red on this map

show the land flannery has acquired since 2018. have you seen anything like this in your career? >> no, i definitely haven't. >> glenn zook is solano county assessor. >> we see a lot of investors. there's usually a target, a plan. there doesn't seem to be that in this case. >> public records obtained by the i-team show flannery has purchased land nearby the 60th communications squadron that's housed on the base. according to travis, this squadron defends, operates and controls critical communication and network infrastructure for 58 military aircraft, including some of the largest in the world used for the rapid delivery of troops and global mobility. >> and that could be a very dangerous thing to have in a communications intercepted. >> katherine moy is the mayor of fairfield and the most high security communications that happen at the pentagon. >> they also happen at travis. now, not all bases have that, moy says. >> this is where highly

sensitive communication occurs about national security, including the president's whereabouts at any point in time . the i-team asked flannery associates about their acquisitions, reportedly made near a communication tower and whether or not that was a coincide science. michael leiter, the lead attorney representing the firm, is known nationally to represent clients for investigations and incidents involving national security. leiter did not respond to our emails, but i did speak with him on the phone today and he told me no comment. >> the whole it just worries me, worries me. >> the firm's new acquisitions come as a survey was sent out to solano county. residents this week wanted to get your general consensus about this survey we're getting a look at what might be in the heads of whoever flannery is, but i'm not sure if it is a smokescreen or a legitimate poll. according to moy, constituents who were sent the survey were asked dozens of questions ranging from political

preferences to potential ballot initiatives, one of which hinted at plans to develop a new city in the eastern part of solano county. with tens of thousands of new homes, a large solar energy farm, orchards with more than 1 million new trees and over 10,000 acres of new parks and open space. the survey questioned, estimated it would generate thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the county within the first ten years. the questions that followed asked things like woulyou vote yes or no on the initiative? which way do you lean? >> i don't know that it's realistic. what they're what they're talking about at all. >> are you referring to the plans to build a city? >> makes zero sense. there's no mass transit. there's no water for that. you'd have to dig wells or convince fairfield to give water, serve water. and that would be a big fat no. >> what makes you think flannery is behind this survey? >> flannery is the largest landholder in solano county, so

it has to be them or somebody pretending to be them. >> and when you say pretending their suspicion, any evidence to suggest that someone is trying to impersonate flannery? >> yes. i mean, i think that, again, it could be a kind of diverse tactic, according to a transcription. >> the second section of the survey listed names of different people and asked participants to indicate their opinion of them, ranging from very favorable to very unfavorable. flannery associates was listed as one of five options next to joe biden, donald trump, mike thompson and john garamendi. >> i saw that as well. and i says, gosh, it suggests that this is from flannery that they're searching for this thing. and then when you start reading the questions, it reinforces that more ronald cate is the mayor of neighboring town rio vista. >> he says he was never directly sent the survey but received a copy from numerous constituents . >> really no way on the survey or nothing on the survey that

shows this is from flannery. >> the i-team asked flannery associates if the firm is any way connected with the creation or distribution of this survey. we were again told no comment. >> i believe that if they wanted to build a city, the smart thing would be to talk to local, not only officials, but staff people here that look at land use. >> solano county has told the i-team flannery has not pulled any permits since acquiring the land in 2018 to signal any future development or change of land use. have you received word any of those requirements? >> have been pulled? necessary permits, things like that? >> not at all. nothing. >> nothing at all. you know, that's that's kind of the mystery of this whole thing. >> no permits, no known plan. and as mayor moy put it, some of these questions include plans that are just not feasible. the infra structure isn't there. >> number one, didn't address transportation, which is a major problem. >> there are no other real big

roads to get in and out. >> so when you're talking about adding another 150,000 people, i don't know how that's going to get addressed. >> moy says. the survey also asked about the potential for a large solar energy farm, which would reduce energy bills by 10% and would generate tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the wind farms. >> is a no go. and the reason for that is the wind farms themselves selves already block or interfere with travis radar systems. i've seen it firsthand . and so we can't see things in coming. travis air force base would be crippled. >> moy says the only other possibility 8-80, a mecca of natural gas believed to be along both sides of highway 12 between rio vista and fairfield. >> and what hasn't been tapped is there's a very, very deep they called a balloon way deep in underneath there in the formations. that would be the only thing that i see there, unless they were able to shut

down travis air force base. >> that, of course, would be devastating to the community and the economy. moy says the only way she could see travis being forced out in this scenario is if there becomes plans to build an airport. but again, there are no public records to suggest any new development like that is in the works. so the question now, as far as this survey, it's still unclear if flannery is tied in any way. yeah, it's so mysterious. >> and we know you're going to stay on top of this. we appreciate all the follow up stories you've been doing. stephanie, thank you. >> absolutely. and we have another i-team exclusive for you coming up at 630, our dan noyes speaks with a mother seeking a fair punishment. she says, for the person who murreher son . she says she's not getting justice from the alameda county da. >> former president trump is on his way back to new jersey tonight after surrendering about 90 minutes ago at the fulton county jail in atlanta. >> now, this is his mug shot. he was booked and had his photo taken and was then released. his plane was has already departed georgia.

president to fundraise off of his latest legal predicament, much like he has with the past indictments. earlier today, fulton county district attorney fani willis proposed a trial date of october 23rd. that is much sooner than some had expected. willis has said she wants to try all 19 people in the case at the same time. >> you could watch live as mr. trump was processed earlier this evening. we sent this push alert through the abc7 news app with a link to our live coverage. download the app now so that you'll be prepared the next time news breaks. >> after decades in business, it's down to just days until the san francisco center nordstrom closes. what could fill that void? >> also here, you're going to meet the antioch business owner willing to put up $50,000 of his own money to fight crime. but some say there's a problem. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel, our natural ac is back. i'll show you how much cooler tomorrow when abc7 news at six continues.

>> lamar was a loving person. he would give you his shirt off his back. she lost lamar the night of january 30th, even heard the gunfire for a little over a block away. >> and since then, she's been afraid to leave her home. i get afraid. >> i get afraid i'd be afraid. >> are you now afraid more going outside than you were before? all the time. >> i actually went to the nail shop down the street and had to call somebody to pick me up because i was nervous. i was scared that monday night, just before 11:00. >> lamar asked this friend to give him a ride to meet a young woman who wanted to buy two ounces of marijuana. >> so i pulled on this side. the girl walked from the corner and rolled down his window. he's talking to her about the transaction of the weed sources inside the da's office verified his story. >> lamar met the 18 year old woman online. they said a meeting at 167th avenue and east 48th street in san leandro. she traveled there with her 17 year

old friend. authorities say he's a member of oakland's ghost town gang and that she tried to use counterfeit money. >> so he started counting. he got like 2040. and then he looked at the money like this money fake. >> you can see on surveillance video from a used car lot that lamar converse argues with the woman. and then her 17 year old friend rushes up with a handgun. >> all i see is the gun. he like the dude, walked to the car like, give me everything, tear it off. five, five, five, five, five, five. you start shooting. he never reached for nothing. martin never made a move. we didn't have no guns on us. we ain't. we wasn't nothing going on. funny with us, you know, he was just trying to get his money and we was going to go back home. >> three weeks later, alameda county sheriff's investigators arrested the 17 year old. one prosecutor told me the shooter confessed that it was a rock solid case for transfer to adult court and not a robbery, but a planned hit. but i was there monday at the juvenile justice center in san leandro when the da's office announced a deal. the teen admitted murder in the

second degree with personal and intentional discharge of a firearm. but he won't receive the 40 years to life prison sentence. he could face if tried as an adult. the case remains in juvenile court. >> that's heartbreaking to hear them say they want to try him as a juvenile. >> everyone gets released from juvenile hall by the time they're 25. but sources inside the da's office tell me the gunman could be out in 2 to 3 years if he follows the program. his mother declined to comment after the hearing, cassandra riley directed her anger at district attorney pamela price. >> the decision that was made today up in court was not right. i need her to go deep down inside side and feel the pain that i'm suffering with so she would know how it feels and make the right decision. >> riley tells me she requested a meeting with pamela price, but never got an answer. >> the people who live in this

county have said, we want a different vision. we want a different administration of how we do justice. >> as i also never received an answer to my request for an interview with the da. after calling and emailing her spokesperson, price did address her vision for juvenile justice at her first staff meeting in march at the oakland arena. video i obtained using the california public records act. >> we want. to end harsh penalties. we don't want three strikes. we want to give young people another other way, another path way. >> new state law is helping price's efforts. assembly bill 2361, signed by governor newsom last september, makes it more difficult to transfer juvenile cases to adult court, even for the most serious crimes, including murder. >> the prosecution must demonstrate weight by clear and convincing evidence that a young person cannot be rehabilitated within the juvenile court system. in order for a judge to

be empowered to transfer that young person to the adult system . >> frankie guzman of the national center for youth law tells menile justice laws are not focused on punishment, but on rehabilitate passion. >> because the truth is that young person will ultimately make more than likely will get out one day. and the question that i ask is, do we want that person to get out better? the same or worse? and the juvenile justice system is the only system that provides that young person with developmentally appropriate services education, mentorship, rehabilitative and behavioral health services were in the adult system. they're thrown to the wolves, essentially. >> that argument rings hollow for lamar converse's family. >> i do also believe in second chances as well. and i understand what they're trying to do with the young people. but when it comes to my murder, that's different. if you rob from someone or you steal from someone, you're able to go give back, like whatever you taken from them. but when you take a life that is forever for my son,

off season figure to be gargantuan, like five, six, $700 million total maybe more largest in baseball history by far. but having already undergone tommy john surgery back in 2018, a second such procedure could really hamper his pitching career. it could cost him hundreds of millions of dollars and hard to know what teams would bid on ohtani at this point. all right. little golf. nice day at the tour championship. east lake golf course in atlanta. scott scheffler was playing well, was playing well once the swing on 15 back a watery grave ends up with a triple bogey. he's nine under colin morikawa share of the lead entered the day nine shots back surging. the approach shot on five and he's going to stick this next to the pin you'll see it roll on up. he ended up with a birdie. the former cal star shot a career best 61 nine under today 11 under overall tied with viktor hovland putting from the fringe on 13 for birdie and he sinks it three way tie atop the leaderboard heading into tomorrow's round so trey lance
