slightly cooler air this morning. but as we get to towards the afternoon it's still warm 80s to mid 90s from noon to the 5:00 hour. the afternoon highs will be in the mid 90s inland, mid to upper 70s bayside and 60s at the coast but some clearing, some cooling expected as we get into tuesday and wednesday of the week ahead steph. >> all right lisa thank you. in the east bay now police are investigating following a deadly shooting in oakland's north stonehurst neighborhood. opd responded to a shotspotter activation just after eight last night at the corner of east street and 105th avenue. officers found one person who had been shot and the victim was pronounced dead on the scene. the victim's identity has not been released yet. police in oakland are also investigating another shooting near 23rd street and mlk, not far from 980. the calls started coming in around 430 yesterday. three people were hurt after paramedics arrived. two victims were pronounced dead on the

>> it's been delicious. i was really enjoying it. and now i have this really beautiful pineapple thing. it's really great to see people showing off what they can do with you know, their food, their ideas. >> part of the night is also to offer another side of chinatown, far removed from the traditional images. most people know a dj spins electronic music. detroit, a chinese american hip hop artist, was on stage doing his thing down this money. i'm losing my focus. >> i don't even know what's the dollar amount, he says. >> it's to break down stereotypes and to show the many sides of the community i'm really trying to put on for the community. >> you know what i'm saying? show people that you know, you can take a nontraditional path. >> with thousands in attendance. there was also stepped up security. chen says night market seemed to be working in other cities. now it's oakland's turn to go to the bar, and they go to the restaurant that answer is a success. organizers say the next night market will be in december in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> another big event happening in oakland today is the oakland

pride parade, the 14th annual celebration that will be streaming right here on abc seven. this year's theme is rooted in pride. you can watch it all starting this morning at 11:00 wherever you stream abc seven news. and we encourage you to head to our website, abc seven news.com/pride. for more information on parade routes in san francisco, district attorney brooke jenkins is teaming up with law enforcement and community groups to engage children as they return to school. jenkins held her office's first ever community event for youth yesterday. it was called keeping it safe with dub nation and took place right at thrive city. jenkins says it was important for young people to have a chance to engage in community policing. >> we want to make sure that they're having positive impressions and interactions with law enforcement, so they don't always see us as negative. >> kids and families had fun with food, games, activities, as well as some giveaways and raffles. turning to weather now

and that slight cooldown continues today. let's check in with lisa. >> good morning. hi, stephanie. good morning. yes, as we look at live doppler seven, that system to the north of us is passing u. and that brought temperatures down a little bit around the bay. we had more 70s. we had some low to mid 90s, but we still had a lot of warmth out towards the livermore valley as we get into the next system, it looks like we will see further cooling, but we still have a big ridge of high pressure to the south of us, and so that has been dominating our weather for much of the summer. with that stubborn heat dome that wants to come back. and then retreat just a little bit. 646 the official sunrise. beautiful view here. mount tam and current numbers look like this 54 downtown. it's 58. in oakland. hayward is at 59 san jose. good morning. 61. the fog still filling in across the bay, and we've had some dense fog up towards napa. nice view here from our sutro tower camera. you can see some patches around here. so the marine layer has been shallow. the gradients are the wind not quite that

strong. so that's another reason why we haven't had that robust cooling inland. but we have potential as we get into that tuesday time frame. 48 in napa. so it is certainly cooler there. 54 santa rosa petaluma is in the 50s and you can see concord and livermore as well. so cooling off comfortably throughout the overnight hours and looking at that sun setting 727 2 to 7 degrees cooler, that 47 bringing down that number in napa for sure. and right along the coast. so we are looking at that fog up towards the north and pockets of some dense fog, even with some mist and drizzle there. so be advised, if you're headed out this morning, you can see how light the wind is from our roof camera. so fog. patchy drizzle this morning for today. similar to yesterday. i don't think we'll see that 101 in livermore though. more like low to mid 90s. so over 35 degree temperature spread though. so certainly above average until we get towards tuesday and wednesday. and that will bring in more of a breeze. and that

cooler air reaching our east bay valleys. the winds talked about how they're not that strong. and as we go through the afternoon notice that good sea breeze over 20 miles an hour in the city. but other than that, really not anything remarkable. the shallow marine layer, the lighter winds right on through your monday. so little change there. skipping ahead to tuesday, this is the big cooldown with ten degrees cooler inland. look at that. 80 in concord, upper 60s around richmond. and then as we go through wednesday, maybe a few degrees warmer, but these two days are the days that we can count on the cool weather. we're already getting slightly warmer into thursday, looking like some 90s returning inland by the end of the week. 76 in oakland today, look for 84 in napa. so a few mid 80s for you from san jose and 95 in morgan hill. those hot spots from livermore to antioch, 70 downtown for the parade over in oakland. a beautiful day in the mid 70s. the accuweather seven day forecast. a little change from

today to tomorrow with that warmth inland. and then the cooler days midweek and then slightly warmer at the end of the week. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. just ahead, more than a million vehicles recalled this morning the brake issues you need to know about if you are a d

often referred to as pig butchering, are bravely sharing their stories now in an effort to warn others. our story is part of an abc news nationwide investigation. abc seven news i-team reporter melanie woodrow has this seven on your side investigation. warren deng was dancing his way through retirement until he got duped out of his life savings. i was angry. >> i'm as angry for the last few

years. >> warren was previously a 30 year scientist in big pharma. college educated? yes. master's degree? yes. in spite of his education, he says he trusted people who contacted him on linkedin with enticing investments. >> hey, i got this great investment. here's some numbers. look at the statistics on these. and so you dive in a little bit maybe 5000 or 10,000 at a time. and you return with like 20%. then they entice you to get more and more money until they pulled out my 401. and that's the downfall. each of those platforms disintegrated. one was my account got dissolved the second the scammer just took of, and the third i couldn't even get my money out. the fbi tells abc news that losses from investment scams rose from $3 billion in 2022 to 4 and a half dollars billion in 2023. >> fraudsters are going to fatten up the victims by putting more enticing the victims to put more money into an investment. and then they're going to

slaughter them by walking away and stealing their money. >> single dad and thai massage therapist shai polonsky met sandy online, who he says broke the bank and his heart. >> she spoke in a very kind of poetic way that spoke to me, and that's how we got started talking to each other. >> it was shai who ultimately asked sandy for investment advice. his initial investment, $2,000, i made about $300 in a few minutes. >> you know, we did probably 3 or 4 trades that first night. >> he was even able to take out some money at sandy's suggestion to celebrate. no problems until i made a decision to essentially put in my life savings. friends helped shai realize he was a scam victim. >> you know, my heart just broke. >> soon after, scammers told him his account was flagged and that he'd have to pay a $10,000 refundable deposit to take out his money again. >> i certainly thought that that

was baloney. >> it's not clear who he was actually talking with, but abc news did track down the woman she thought he was communicating with in these pictures. the real woman in these photos has nothing to do with what happened to shai. but she says she knows her photos have been used in scams for years. she's even received text messages from victims asking for their money back. >> they're very good at building trust. they know how to do that. >> santa clara county deputy district attorney erin west has taken on the battle against crypto scammers. unfortunately, we find ourselves in a period of time that we need to be wary of anyone that comes into our circle. the people who lose their life savings aren't the only victims. some people are being kidnaped and forced to scam others. it happened to sarah, who agreed to speak with abc news using a pseudonym and with her voice and face disguised. she was living in south africa when she applied for a new job she believed would be in bangkok. >> well, i was expecting to be a customer service consultant. instead, sarah was kidnaped and

brought to a compound in myanmar where her passport was taken and her cell phone sim card destroyed. >> sarah took this photo outside the compound. >> when i got the first three days, they couldn't tell me what i was doing. all i could see people that were stressed, they were not happy, and they would just had their eyes glued on a computer. >> sarah says she was instructed to play a part. >> so i had to actually, i need to learn to be an asian woman. i used to work for, like 20 hours. i wanted to make an honest living, be an honest citizen. and here i am now. i'm a prisoner forced to do things that i don't want to do. i feel for the people who are being trafficked in that way and who are being conned on the other side. >> the crypto con has law enforcement and prosecutors working overtime. this is so pervasive and is happening to so many people. >> it's very difficult on the back end when money goes to china and foreign countries for us to recover the money and for

us to necessarily work with the different law enforcement agencies and some countries that may be the united states doesn't have the best diplomatic relations with. i'm come to the realization i'm never going to get that $2.5 million back. >> so that's why i went back to work as a consultant. and i owe $600,000 in back taxes to the state and feds. no no, i definitely was not able to get it back. >> sarah says the compound she worked at is still operating with increased security and worsened conditions. >> i escaped, this is an ongoing battle with wounds beyond broken trust and obliterated savings. >> i don't want to lose my heart. i don't want to lose my love of life and of the world and the way that i live my life. i don't want to become a cynic. >> so what to do if this ever happens to you? law enforcement officials tell us you should file a report with both your local police department and the

fbi internet crime complaint center, or ic3. but as we heard, these crimes are very challenging to investigate and prosecute, and the victims rarely, if ever get their money back. for seven on your side investigates melanie woodrow, abc seven news. if you have an issue you'd like seven on your side. to investigate, go to abc seven news.com/7 on your side. we want to help you. and that's also where you'll find this story over 1.2 million ram vehicles are being recalled due to brake system problems. >> the national highway traffic safety administration reported that the ram 1500s have a software malfunction in the anti-lock brake system. affected vehicles range from models made in 2019 to 2023. thankfully, there are no reported injuries or accidents to date, but drivers can take their vehicle to a dealer to fix the issue free of charge. still to come, this morning, we're just two days away from the first presidential debate with kamala harris as the democratic

been slow to catch up. 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. here's abc seven south bay reporter zach fuentes. >> 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 developing 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 in 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 impacts than 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. >> all right, let's get you outside. how's it looking, lisa? >> well, we've got some patchy fog. stephanie. you can see it here from our exploratorium camera. mid 50s. so pretty cool with even some upper 40s and more dense fog in the north bay. more sunshine and warmth for our inland valleys. but we've got just a couple of days of a cool down and then back to more of a summertime feel around the bay. i'll explain. coming up. >> lisa, thank you. also next, the bears take on the tigers down in alabama. abc seven news reporter j.r. stone covers cal versus auburn after the break

all wrong. dead wrong. the golden bears now in the acc first of several cross country trips saturday. this one in sec territory. auburn's mascot, the fearsome and majestic war eagle. first quarter we go. fernando mendoza, looking, looking. he's got his man isaiah hunter from 19 yards out. seven seven early on. second quarter we go. mendoza rolling out. he's looking for his man hunter again. second touchdown of the day. third quarter we go. it's teddy buchanan with the sack on the quarterback. one of two sacks on the day. and look at those muscles man. he's got triceps. fourth quarter. jack juarez hunter up the middle. but look at the d. rip the football out. that's a fumble. buchanan with the strip craig woodson with the recovery. big momentum. swing for cal two plays later javion thomas 32 yard run to the house. a bolt of speed right there. golden bears up two touchdowns, but auburn wasn't done yet. thorne keeps it on a read option. he's into the end zone. back to a one score game

late. fourth we go. thorne looking deep down the sideline. no. williams with the huge interception. his second interception of the game and third of the season. cal defense was outstanding all day. how about one more i-n-t for good measure. oh how about it there. cal's defense with five takeaways a huge road win, 2114. cal is two and oh on the season. cal poly at stanford cardinal were slow out of the gates, but boy did they get going. and did they get going ever. third quarter tiger bachmeier collects his punt on the ten yard line. he's going to work it. he's going to weave it. and he is gone. 90 yards to the house. stanford dominates in the second half and wins 41 seven. first home win since october 22nd of 2022 san jose state visiting air force. first quarter emmett brown to jaxson cannon. he's looking for him. how about 58 yards pitch and catch. spartans would keep their lead all the way to the fourth. under four to play air force down ten. john

bush of picked off by jordan cobbs. that would seal the deal san jose state university wins 17 to 7. to baseball giants and padres in san diego. always loving the panda hat. top of the second giants. down two grand. mcrae that ball was crushed. oh, my. three run shot gives the giants the lead. bottom of the fifth. giants in some trouble. bases loaded. two outs, but matt chapman makes it look routine. and a sweet pick from mark canha helps two giants hold on to their lead. then, in the top of the ninth, grant mcrae. and this guy was good. he was really good. he goes yard again. his second of the night and fifth of the season gives the giants two insurance runs. his five rbis power the giants to a63 win. a's hosting the tigers. this fan is going to make the highlight reel. i like that catch brady barrasso made his first career start this afternoon. absolutely dazzled. pitched six scoreless innings, struck out six, allowed just four base runners. unfortunately, the a's offense could provide no offense

whatsoever. zach gelof representing the potential winning run. strikes out. a's lose 2 to 1. and that is sports have a wonderful sunday. >> all right. thanks j.r. the 49 ers kick off the new season against the new york jets tomorrow at levi's stadium. here at home. coverage begins at 5:00 right here on abc seven. and again the a's take on the tigers here at home today. first pitch at the coliseum is at 107. how's it looking, lisa? >> really nice. lots of 70s around the bay over in oakland. it gets much hotter. obviously. you head inland and temperatures will come up another 20 degrees from the east bay shoreline. so we have a system moving to the north of us. and as it does, our high pressure ridge is still close enough to the south of us that it's keeping us on the warm side. major cooling? certainly not happening, potentially one day, a day and a half of that for the week ahead. there's a look at mount tam where you can

see the marine layer. it's shallow though. the winds have been pretty light. it is 54 downtown, 58 in oakland, 61 in san jose and 55 in redwood city. there is the fog socked in there, the golden gate bridge, a little bit of mist and drizzle. and this has been the scene day after day, but it has really been confined to the coast and patchy around the bay at best. 54 santa rosa, 57, in petaluma with fairfield and concord also in the upper 50s. and you can see the breaks here already in the overcast from san francisco, where temperatures will climb to around 70. we have areas of dense fog and patches of drizzle from napa to the bridges here and then with sunshine on the way, similar temperatures, i don't think we'll see that 101 in livermore temperatures more likely low to mid 90s. and then we're getting into a slightly cooler day, maybe by two degrees tomorrow and then much cooler on tuesday. we begin to turn that corner as soon as wednesday. so detroit and town with low 70s, 1:00 sunny skies. the winds. not

that much of a factor, up to about 1213 miles an hour and mid 70s by the ninth inning. and that forecast pretty much the same, maybe a few degrees cooler here for the pride parade. so really nice conditions with low 70s. a light wind, and perhaps by 2:00 we're in the mid 70s as well. over into our inland valleys. highs will be in the mid 90s. so a lot warmer than the bay shore obviously, but we'll drop on off for your monday tuesday just about 80 degrees. and then you see we recover into wednesday and thursday and hopefully not as hot as we get into next weekend. there should be another trough headed our way which will work to keep the temperatures from rising too much. 87 santa clara look for 82 in sunnyvale. here are the numbers. have been pretty nice from 78 in mountain view, 76 redwood city downtown. about 70 partly cloudy skies and up in the north bay. big cooldown yesterday we were in the mid 80s in santa rosa, so

that was a nice switch. 84 in napa we talked about the east bay upper 70s in hayward and then 94 for you, concord, about 9492 in pleasanton. the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got very little change as we go through your monday and then by tuesday we have the temperatures really coming down the winds kicking up. wish it would last into wednesday, just another day of the cooler than average temperatures. and then thursday and friday we are slightly warmer. so september obviously warm and dry month for us. so not expecting huge changes, not bad. >> thank you lisa. well still to come set yourself up for life. wait till you hear how much that latest mega millions jackpot is worth.

largest lottery jackpots ever. no one matched all six numbers in last night's drawing. that means the jackpot rolls over, and by the time tuesday's numbers are selected, it could be worth more than $800 million. that would make it the seventh largest jackpot on record. good luck. well, happening today, famous dj diplo is putting a new spin on the san francisco marathon. diplo's sf run club starts at 9:00 this morning. the five k race starts at piers 30 and 32, and it will go around the embarcadero and oracle park. and once runners complete the race, they are invited to a music festival featuring diplo, himself and the top three runners in the men and women's categories will get to go on stage with him and celebrate. pretty neat. so here as you're waking up this morning, walk it around, keep your eyes out along

the embarcadero. yeah pretty fun. >> there's always action happening there. >> i know it's great. and i actually i have participated with this run club before. it is very fun. they're very energetic group and they have grown substantially just in the last six months. it's pretty amazing. they triple their size. >> yeah. yeah. she's a runner. okay. and you too. yeah, right. good. okay. well, we have a nice day. you know, we're going to trim the heat from our inland valleys. i said that yesterday. we did in some spots, but livermore today, about 2 to 5 degrees cooler from the bay shore to our inland valleys. so we'll keep that trend going for your sunday. and then into monday though 70s on the peninsula. continue with those low 90s inland. and we're going in the right direction for a bit of relief. so tuesday, wednesday, breezy. it will be dry though. behind that system. so even though it's cooler we are always on the alert for that extreme dry weather that we get this time of year. absolutely. >> yeah. >> thank you, lisa, and thank you all for joining us on abc

seven mornings. we'll see you back here at nine. have a great day. where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people

thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco. >> gio: good morning, america, and breaking overnight, armed and dangerous. the manhunt going on right now for a gunman who opened fire on a kentucky interstate. police reporting five people shot, now identifying a person
