happened during the incident. the teen was shot in the left arm. that was also, like pearsall, a through and through wound. abc seven news has received new surveillance video from the moments after pearsall was shot. you can see the suspect running and dropping a gun on the street. seconds later, police arrive and detain him right in the middle of the street. abc seven news anchor dion limb and abc seven news reporter tim johns will have much more on this case. coming up tonight at five. and when the 40 niners spoke yesterday for the first time publicly after pearsall got shot, you could sense a different energy that's been there all off season. and the fans noticed it as well. >> yeah. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey spoke with the faithful about their excitement for the season, kicking off. >> it seems like there's been a dark cloud hanging over levi's stadium in the san francisco 40 niners all offseason, from a closed super bowl loss to two major contract disputes. and now mix in a shooting of a young star. it's been a lot to take in for the faithful. >> well, it certainly has been

stadium. the 40 niners fans, we spoke with say his story should give the entire fanbase and team new hope after a trying offseason. i hope that everyone would love to see lead to success and it all starts monday night. >> i feel more ready than, if it didn't go out this way. so i'm super excited, feeling fresh, feeling renewed, coming with new energy. so just excited to play football again. >> more on prime time television monday night football. what a way to open up the season and you know it can't get here fast enough. >> the niners season kicks off on monday right here on abc seven. are you ready for some football? dustin dorsey abc seven news. >> ready? indeed the 40 niners have renewed a partnership that will give football fans a new experience at levi's stadium. the team hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony today at the new cache creek casino resort field club. inside the stadium. it's located right at the 50 yard line. club guests can grab some food, have a drink, then step outside to see the game from right behind the 40 niners

about it. but don't tell that to people near the coast and around the bay because temperatures have come down. let me show you some live pictures right now. you can see what's driving the numbers in this direction. it's the fog on the golden gate bridge, but we are seeing plenty of sun from our other towercameras 101 right now in brentwood and fairfield 99, in livermore, san francisco. you're at 66 degrees. the heat advisory was dropped for san francisco, but for the rest of the region shaded in orange. it is continuing until 11 p.m. tomorrow. risk of heat related illnesses is still there, so take it easy out there and stay hydrated. looking at our air quality, it is good to moderate right now that spare the air alert in effect today as we are expecting moderate to poor air quality. but tomorrow you will notice all areas go to moderate. so no spare the air up for tomorrow. but we are still going to have to deal with the heat. i'll be back with a full look at the temperatures for tomorrow. coming right up, larry. >> all right, sandy, we'll see you in a few minutes with the

seven day forecast. investigators are trying to determine the cause of a deadly crash that sent two cars smashing through a wall over a cliff in san francisco. that wreck happened yesterday afternoon at the cliff house on point lobos avenue. both cars have since been removed from that accident site, but you can still see some of the damage that was left behind. one driver died in that crash. firefighters tell us the driver who survived has minor injuries. it's not clear if speed played a factor in the crash. >> san jose police have made two arrests in a shooting that injured two people at a car show. the shooting happened on july 20th in the area of monterey road and south side drive. investigators say shots were fired after a scuffle between two large groups and during a fight, an adult male suspect unrelated to the fight approached. >> the group produced a handgun and began shooting into the air. he then proceeded to shoot at one of the adult male victims. >> a 26 year old suspect from union city is charged with attempted murder for the shooting. a second man from fremont is charged as an accomplice. >> a federal program that helped

people get covid 19 vaccines for free has ended, and now it could cost you to get the updated shot this fall, and it's going to be especially pricey for those who are uninsured. abc seven news reporter lena howland has the story. >> kids are back in school. fall is around the corner and public health agencies are urging people to get the newly released covid vaccine now available ahead of the cold and flu season. but a federal program that provided free covid vaccines ended last month. >> the bridge access program really was meant during the time of the pandemic to provide quickly subsidized vaccines at no cost for all members of our society. >> arnab mukherjee is an associate professor of public health at csu east bay. he says now, those without health insurance will be charged $200 for the vaccine at drugstores and doctors offices. >> people who are working in the gig economy, people who are just making just enough to not qualify for the safety net and social service programs, but yet can't shell out $200 to get a

shot. so yes, it's a considerable proportion of our population. >> those on medicare and medicaid still qualify for free vaccines, but mukherjee says with only 22% of the u.s. public up to date on their vaccines, he worries the end of this program could lead to more covid cases later this year. >> i do fear that it will lead to a peak that is comparable, if not higher, than previous. >> in the meantime, the cdc has allocated $62 million for state and local programs to provide vaccines to uninsured and underinsured adults. >> each county has been allocated not a lot of money, but there is funding through the centers for disease control and prevention that is being filtered down to the county level. so if anybody is having trouble getting a low cost or no cost vaccine to contact your county health agency to indicate that cost is a barrier as an alternative. >> he says folks can also contact the vaccine

manufacturers directly, like pfizer or moderna, requesting free or reduced price vaccines through their patient assistance programs in san francisco. lena howland, abc seven news. >> regulating artificial intelligence the bill just passed here in california, aimed at helping famous figures keep control of their name and likeness. >> amending california's constitution, the ballot measure that's up for your vote this november. that could end forced labor in state prisons and more entertainment zones. >> the new areas of san francisco being eyed as the city looks to bring the

the developer of a housing project for people at risk of homelessness, has reached a deal to build 66 apartment units. but elk grove city council pulled the plug on that project, saying it did not meet the city's zoning rules. the developer and the state then filed separate lawsuits last year, arguing the denial violated california law governor newsom and attorney general rob bonta say they'll hold or continue to hold cities accountable for providing housing opportunities for all. >> it was for people with disabilities, and it was denied 6667 unit development. at the same time, the city was approving similar sized developments, but not for people

with disabilities. >> so the project was moved to another location in elk grove and will now offer 81 bedroom apartments for lower income households. >> artificial intelligence is growing fast and laws to regulate it have been slow to come. now the state senate has passed a bill many are calling a win. it would require consent before using ai to recreate a dead performer's likeness. abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes has more from experts on what the bill does and how it could affect people, famous or not. >> artificial intelligence can make it easy to impersonate famous figures, type whatever you want her to say and type whatever you want her to say. >> and voila! >> the rapidly developingg technology is leading to new concerns. public figures and performers are worried deepfakes and other fabricated videos could negatively impact their legacy after they're gone. >> something we're going to probably have to start putting in our wills because we have to remember our likeness belongs to our own estate, alive or not.

>> the use of ai to recreate performers has long been an issue in hollywood. that's been the basis of strikes and much outcry. sag-aftra has had a collective bargaining agreement in place, but a bill just passed by the california senate over the weekend takes things a step further. >> ab 1836 is specifically aimed at providing postmortem right of publicity protection when it comes to digital replicas. >> joseph lawlor, a trademark attorney at haynes boone, said only around half of the states provide protections for performers likeness after they die. even so, he said, growing technology needs to be updated and existing right of publicity laws. >> digital replicas of the term is used in ab 1836 aren't discussed in any of these historical right of publicity law. it's not something that people were envisioning. >> the bill passed the senate and is now waiting on a signature from governor gavin newsom as his bill, 2602, which works to protect performers who are living from having an employer use an ai version of them without permission. sag-aftra has praised the

passing of both bills, but lawlor said these bills can have wider impact. >> even these laws can apply to individuals that aren't looking to put out a hit record or star in a film, simply because a lot of people's lives are out there on social media. >> robert chestnut is the vice president of the san francisco norcal sag-aftra union, though he couldn't comment on the union's behalf as a performer, he says the bills are a step in the right direction. >> it's just a wonderful start, but we have so much, so much more to do in the south bay. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> the three year long project of restoring the uc berkeley tropical gardens is now complete. the gardens will open to the public saturday. today, our abc seven team got a preview to the redesigned indoor space featuring a larger pond, more rare plants and better visitor flow. it's a very warm, humid place, so even the water here in the house is heated to accommodate tropical water. >> lulu's. the blue lotus of the

they say the hardest part of getting something done let's go! hustle! is getting started. well, we did that 30 years ago, when california first took on the tobacco industry. this is not just about access. it's about the message it sends... now smoking is down 60 percent. lung cancer 42 percent. a couple of our cities have already ended tobacco sales. a california without big tobacco isn't just possible, it's already happening. voters will get a chance to amend the state constitution. proposition six looks to ban involuntary servitude, which would end forced labor in state

prisons. reporter ashley mackey, from our sister station in los angeles, has the story. yes. so six. >> yes. >> on six. supporters of proposition six gathered tuesday morning outside the century regional detention facility in lynwood to launch their campaig. if passed into law. prop six would amend the california constitution to prohibit the state from punishing inmates with involuntary work and from disciplining those who refuse to work, something this group calls a form of slavery. >> they're exploiting our labor for $0.08, $0.10, $0.12, $0.50 an hour, and we return to our communities with nothing. if we don't work, we're punished. if we do work, we're exploited. >> the prop calls for state prisons to set up volunteer work assignment programs that would take time off sentences in the form of credits, and would have the county or city establish a pay scale for inmates in local jails. chastity says she was formerly incarcerated and forced to work in the kitchen for $0.08 an hour, and because of that,

she missed out on rehabilitative programs. >> it means a lot for, people that are still in there to get rehabilitated, to get the skills that they need to come out and be, productive citizens. >> we have classes that we want to take to rehabilitate that could help us, resources that we could get in prisons that they offer. but we cannot take them because we have to work. >> according to cal matters, of about 90,000 inmates, the state prison system employs nearly 40,000 with various jobs and most earn less than $0.74 an hour. what's unclear is if the state would be required to pay the minimum wage to inmates, which could cost about $1.5 billion annually based off a similar measure that didn't pass in 2022. so we're not in charge of the budget, right? >> so we can't speak to that. what we what we can speak to is we're going to vote yes on prop six to end slavery. >> and that was ashley mackey reporting. so far, there are no organized campaigns against prop six. >> california lawmakers are making a plea to the governor to

sign a bill that would expand access to narcan in all workplaces. that bill would mandate the first aid kits include naloxone nasal spray. that's narcan. in the event of an opioid overdose, it can be used to reverse those fatal side effects. >> we are losing people at an alarming and astounding rate. and what i really appreciate about this legislation is the bipartisan support we really need to work together across the aisle to make a difference in this crisis. >> lawmakers say for the first time in california, drug overdoses are deadlier than both car accidents and homicides combined. think about that for a second. if you or someone you know is struggling with drug addiction or perhaps opioid abuse, help is available, you can find a list of local resources on our website. abc seven news.com slash. take action. >> the san francisco city attorney is suing online retailers for violating the local ban on flavored tobacco.

the suit alleges four companies violated laws intended to protect youth by selling flavored nicotine pouches like zins. city attorney david chu says these products are dangerously addictive and come in sweet flavors meant to appeal to young people. nicotine pouches have recently become more popular among young people and teens. the ftc says it's reached a nearly $3 million settlement with san mateo based security company verkada. a lawsuit accused verkada of having poor security practices that led to a hacker breaking into customers devices. officials say the company's security failures exposed sensitive data to unauthorized access. ricardo was also accused of spamming potential clients with more than 30 million email ads over a three year span, and not giving them a way to opt out of receiving the messages. >> san francisco leaders are proposing four more areas of the city that could become official entertainment zones. they want zones in the mid market area

between fifth and sixth streets, as well as on maiden lane between kearny and grant at mark lane and harlan place in the financial district and thrive city, the area right outside chase center. the legislation would enable restaurants and bars in those zones to sell alcoholic beverages to go for outdoor consumption during events. now earlier this week, the downtown s.f. partnership shared a rendering of the first entertainment zone. a portion of front street between california and sacramento will be transformed into an outdoor area for drinks, food and music. it will be the first entertainment zone in the state. >> happening now. the san francisco police department is hosting the 10th annual chinatown night out event. it's underway at portsmouth square at washington and kearney streets. the event is designed for people to connect with community services, meet their neighbors, and build relationships with police who serve the neighborhood. the free celebration includes food and entertainment. it's going to be good fun and i'm going to pop over there later as well. yeah. and speaking of entertainment, abc seven is now the proud

our heart attack was... scary! never want to go through that again. but we could. with heart disease, you never know. so we made changes. green juice. yeah, not a fan. diet, exercise... statins helped. but our ldl-c (bad cholesterol)-it was stuck! stuck! just couldn't lower it enough. and high ldl-c meant a real risk of another attack. so i said, "let's ask our doctor about repatha." what can i say? listen to your heart.

your produce. but your guys. doesn't the heat wilted? would you try this? >> no. you know what? it is very tempting, kristen. but i have to say, i mean, it would. i mean, it wouldn't just wilt your produce, but then you're, like, adding stuff onto your fruits and vegetables. i don't know if i would want to do that. >> yeah. what's going to happen to my banana? is it going to be banana pudding? yeah. >> well, and you don't need to wash a banana. so there. >> who thinks of these things? i mean, like, if you buy some fruit, you just, you know, put the water on, let it soak if you want to do that, and then you're all good. you don't need a dishwasher. >> larry, you know what's scary, though, is some people see these tiktok videos and they go, oh, this is like the end all be all. i'm going to do this. >> also, it's not very water efficient, you know? >> very true. >> come on now. okay. that's a tiktok trend to pass on. >> i thought they were only dancing. sandy. i had no idea. it is officially pumpkin spice season, and one website wants to
