today to answer to charges of murder, felony assault and criminal threats. that came as a surprise to the victim's family members and court staff. >> we didn't know that he was going to be. quote unquote, a refusal. addison the arraignment was postponed until monday, according to the da's office. >> the woman killed was addison's grandmother, delfina turner. the boy was addison's six year old nephew, jordan cam walker. authorities are not saying what the motive was in the killings. today we heard from the prosecutor, michael gilman. >> mr. addison is known to law enforcement and he has a criminal history involving weapons, burglary, things of that nature. >> addison also facing felony assault and felony criminal threats in a separate incident. but according to the prosecutor , addison has three other cases that were also on the calendar today pertaining to his mental health. >> there are are several cases involving possession of a dirk or dagger, which is a concealed, essential, a concealed weapon.

at least one of those cases is open presently at this time. they are substantive crimes is one is burglary. there's another case involving criminal threats and arson, but those cases are on the mental health calendar. so they they were being handled in a different department, a different courtroom. >> walker's family attended today's court appearance, but did not want to comment. they started a gofundme campaign after the six year old boy was killed. >> all we want to do is achieve justice and move this case forward in san jose, suzannephan abc7 news. >> disappointment for some in antioch who wanted to see police officers involved in the racist texting scandal take the stand today. instead, the judge ruled those officers don't have to. it's all part of a california racial justice act hearing. abc7 news reporter answer hassan has the latest developments. >> some of the text messages in this case by a very small number of officers are really horrific

information that anybody involved in that text messaging stream abided by the policies and procedures of the antioch police department. i don't think it's fair at all because they did a crime and they should be in court. >> cheryl cobbs is the mother of one of the defendants, trent allen. she joined a rally outside the courthouse after the decision came down. many in the crowd wanted the officers to take the stand. >> i think the idea of having the officers on the stand where they have to confront or be confronted with what they've done and also explain their actions is important. it's important for the community to see that if there's not a two tiered justice system, also at court was brandi g. >> whose son, michael hawkins, was allegedly killed in the drive by shooting. they ambushed that baby and killed him. she's concerned the fallout from the text and the racial justice act hearing could mean her family doesn't get justice. the four men have been charged but haven't gone to trial in this remedy stage. some of the options that the judge has is to reduce charges or even drop

enhancements. both sides return to court on september 8th in martinez, ansar hassan, abc seven news. >> coming up next, see what to expect at this year's silicon valley pride. the event kicks off tomorrow and could the oakland a's end up playing in san francisco? >> it's just one scenario for a team that might be without a ballpark for a while. all america. it's time to gear up and get out there in a new ford vehicle. >> and it all starts at your local ford dealer during the discover summer sales event. choose from a great selection of trucks and suvs equipped with the tech and comfort you need to discover your best summer ever. with a large inventory in stock. now is the best time to trade in trade up and discover summer with ford this summer, lease a 2023 ford mustang mach e for 419 a month. that's 419 a month only at your california ford dealer.

mild evening on tap, 75 degrees at 6:00. so if you are taking part or if you're going to just check out all the festivities, it's just going to be beautiful weather. we have some beautiful fog right now from our sutro tower camera. just sort of moving across downtown san francisco right now. that marine layer is about 2000ft deep. it deepened uh- yesterday in response to an area of low pressure that has been sitting off our coast and got a little bit closer. here's the deal. we did have fog this morning, if you recall, and it took its sweet time moving away from the bay and parts of the coast are still hanging onto it. but it was a cooler day as a result of the sea breeze and the deeper marine layer. right now, we are noticing those winds coming off the ocean at 25 miles an hour in san francisco, a live view of the city from our exploratorium camera. and it's just blue skies here. 64 degrees in san francisco. oakland, you're at 67. most of you today in the 60s to 80 range, a few degrees below average, believe it or not. san jose, 76 degrees. palo alto,

you're at 71. and a nice day in santa cruz right now. as you can see, just nothing but sunshine. santa rosa, 74 degrees. it's comfortable in napa, 76. novato 73. you're in the low 80s from concord to fairfield. but that breeze is reaching you in livermore where it is 78 degrees. seeing some haze and some fog from our emeryville camera areas of fog and drizzle overnight hazy and warmer weather. this weekend and the heat is going to build and as we head towards next week, i'll show you when those temperatures will peak in just a moment. tomorrow morning. we begin with fog around the bay and along the coast, also parts of the valleys, you will notice and a little bit of drizzle at 7:00 in the morning near the coast. by the afternoon hours, we start to notice that the fog begins to peel away in response to the wind direction, which is coming out of the northwest. at 7 p.m. you start to notice the clearing along parts of the coast. the second half of the day, you'll notice a little more and then the fog will be back again. so our typical pattern temperature is in the 50s and the 60s in the

morning and tomorrow afternoon in the south bay. you're looking at 90 degrees in gilroy, 80 in santa cruz. it's a warmer day. sun shining, 83 in san jose on the peninsula. you're looking at 78 in mountain view, 75 degrees. menlo park, mid 60s, right near the coast. so enough of a sea breeze to keep your temperatures from really rising. too much. 72 in downtown san francisco, 65 in daly city, north bay, hazy skies and a warmer day. 88 degrees in santa rosa, 86. san rafael in the east bay. hayward 78. oakland 76. inland areas. this is where it's going to get hot. 92 degrees in antioch, 90 in livermore, 94. in fairfield and hazy accuweather 70 forecast mid 90s inland mid 60s coast take your pick of what you'd like and you'll find it. here we have our microclimates going into next week. those temperatures continue to rise and we will notice it's a warm to hot one on wednesday with 70s to one hundredths moderate risk of heat illnesses. as we go towards next week. so that's something we'll

keep an eye out for you. almond dan thanks, andy. >> the oakland a's say san francisco oracle park could be a temporary playing site while the baseball team waits for a new stadium in las vegas to be finalized. >> abc7 news reporter ryan curry has reaction from a's fans and explains how this could happen. the athletics at home in san francisco. >> it is not something many expected, but team president dave kaval says it is a possibility. he told the nevada independent the team is exploring three locations to play after their lease of the coliseum expires. and while the las vegas stadium is under construction, one of them is oracle park. >> we wouldn't support it, obviously. we would just stop going altogether. i mean, that's not first of all, it's not oakland. and second of all, it's you're going to kind of a rival's home. >> george leone, the president of the oakland 68 fan group, says this is insulting to a's fans. he says it is just another example of why a's fans are fed up with this team's ownership. >> it's pretty laughable at this point. john fisher is clueless.

so is dave kaval. i mean, they have no idea or no sense of like community, you know? >> the a's lease of the coliseum expires at the end of the 2024 season. the las vegas stadium is not set to be finished until 2028. the a's could sign a new lease at the coliseum, but it wouldn't involve negotiating a new deal with oakland after the abandonment of the howard terminal project. we reached out to the san francisco giants for comment about this. we're waiting to hear back. meanwhile, those we spoke with say kaval is just trying to leverage a better deal either here or somewhere else for a place to play. >> the idea that they would be there knowing that they were leaving for an extended amount of time, it only makes sense for oakland if that number is enormous compared to what it currently is, and that's maybe total a negotiating tactic from the a's to say, hey, if you want that number to be enormous, we can find other options. >> alex simon, a sports reporter with the mercury news, says if

it brings enough money, the giants will definitely consider it. however allowing the a's to play some games at oracle park could prevent the giants from hosting other non-baseball events that bring in revenue. >> i would imagine for the giants, it's a duality of they have their own costs that they would have to do to host those events. but then there's the opportunity cost, like we're talking about of so many other events that they do like to do in the baseball season. even that probably have to go away. >> in oakland, ryan curry, abc seven news. >> coming up next meet dancers on a deadline. they're getting ready for a big show next month performing at prince harry's invictus games. own a brand new revel for special purchase price of 139.9 98. >> monopoly is back now at lucky come kick off the season with our shop and score game that'll

injury then jimmy garoppolo getting hurt open the door for brock purdy to take over now once the niners signed sam darnold this off season you knew lance's status and red and gold was going to be in jeopardy. so now he goes to the cowboys to be among the backups to dak prescott. >> not a huge surprise that a deal got done. >> as we sit here right now, i do think the 49 ers getting a fourth round pick from the cowboys a little bit more than i would have expected and maybe than what they expected. >> so in this case with trey lance, it was is he going to be an issue? is this something where he's going to be unhappy and then it would affect the rest of the team or the locker room? >> and i don't think trey lance would have been that way, but i think it was better for all parties involved at this point to just move on. >> clearly, was not working out. college football season is here. san jose state opens up against goliath. usc and heisman trophy winner caleb williams tomorrow evening in l.a. the spartans open this new campaign as 30 point underdogs, but they have 14 starters back, including quarterback chevan cordeiro, san jose state schedule rough. they start with usc, then oregon state. both of them are ranked

hovland coming off last week's win at the bmw remains hot. his approach on 15 over the water to within 12ft then cashes in for birdie shot a back 930 tied for the lead at 16 under par round down tied with the former cal star collin morikawa pitching here on 12 nice soft touch which curves away just at the last moment by the way morikawa number one in the field and approach to the hole proximity this week morikawa for birdie on 17 started 6164 lowest two rounds in tournament history tied with hovland at 16 under heading to the weekend. so a lot of people wondering about the trace situation the cowboys will come here week five of october 8th. now here's the thing. he's going to be the third quarterback in dallas as well, right? so i don't know that he's going to get much more playing time there than he would here unless, you know, dak prescott gets injured. cooper rush gets injured. will grier is another quarterback on the team. so they got a lot of guys to yeah and he really needs a playing time to

advance his career. he has to play somewhere and maybe maybe this will will be the spot where we wish him well. yeah, for sure. no, he's a good guy. >> yeah. thanks very much. later all right. >> coming up tonight on abc seven at eight. it's will trent, followed by 2020 at nine. then do not miss abc seven news at 11 and remember abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app and join us whenever you want wherever you are we'll find finally tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters this friday. >> this week too much fanfare. ikea opened a new store in san francisco at fifth and market. it's a troubled part of town, so there is a lot of hope that this 55,000 square foot addition to a neighborhood where a lot of stores have closed will help revitalize that part of town. it's encouraging. but let me tell you what isn't. i was there for the grand opening and what i saw all around the area was sad and disturbing by the dozen, the homeless, the drug addicted and those with mental illness often all in one person, were

everywhere. it was really a sad to see it had an apocalyptic feel then the news this week that there have been more than 13,000 car break ins in the city so far this year. 13,000 odd. and that's just the ones that were reported yesterday. a fed up police chief announced a new crackdown, ironically, a few minutes before the news conference, a tourist had her family's rental car broken into near the same spot that the news conference was happening, everything stolen. what really matters is that they're finally cracking down on all of this mayhem. but of course, it should never have been allowed to get this bad. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley, abc7. >> all right. that is going to do it for this edition of abc seven news. thank you for joining us. i'm ahmad daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley for sanjay patel. larry will all of us here we appreciate your time have a great evening. we'll see you again tonight at 11.
