you're seeing on the i-80 westbound on ramp. there is a two car accident. doesn't seem like anything too serious right now, but it is just a reminder at this point. this weekend is going to be pretty crazy on the roads, because this is when most people are celebrating halloween. so you want to be safe out there as you get out and travel this weekend. all right. in the east bay, an alameda police officer has pleaded not guilty in the death of mario gonzalez. three years ago, eric mckinley is charged with involuntary manslaughter for the deadly encounter at an alameda park. gonzalez died as officers pinned him to the ground while responding to a call of a man behaving strangely. gonzalez was not armed. family members are upset. a judge dropped the case against two other officers because the district attorney missed the deadline to file charges. >> mario gonzalez was murdered
5:14 am
in the same manner as george floyd. the fundamental difference is that we now have a different political climate. but justice delayed is justice denied. >> officer mckinley returns to court next month for a preliminary hearing. it could be up to a month and a half before a judge reviews the case of the menendez brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents more than 30 years ago. prosecutors are asking the court to resentence them. they recommend the life sentence without the possibility of parole be removed, but the process could be long because after review, it could go to a parole board, which could take six months or longer. and then there's a possibility that the governor could later weigh in on the decision. >> all of these family members will uniformly ask one thing, which is bring them home. bring them home. >> the los angeles district attorney says he recommended the resentencing after weighing new evidence showing the brothers were abused. and you can watch in-depth coverage of this case
5:15 am
with the abc news documentary menendez brothers, monsters or victims on hulu and disney is the parent company of hulu and abc seven. october is breast cancer awareness month, and the american cancer society is urging black women to use their voice to help fight breast cancer. abc seven news anchor ama daetz has more on the push to get black women to join a new study, for good reason. >> african-american women are doing worse in any ethnic group. they have about 40% higher risk of dying from breast cancer compared to white women overall. regardless of what stage they present with, they still have the lowest survival rate amongst all ethnic groups. >> and then this voices study could help narrow down why they have worse outcomes. and then we can see it. >> exactly. doctor. >> patience o'daly is a breast surgical oncologist with kaiser san rafael. she says multiple factors likely play into this disparity. access to care. barriers to getting treatment as well as social, environmental
5:16 am
and lifestyle factors. kaiser is working to improve outcomes for black women by providing education, support and screening. the american cancer society is also working to achieve better health equity for this group, which is why it's looking for 100,000 black women without cancer for its new voices study. >> we know that even though black women are likely to get screened for breast cancer, the quality of the screening and the care that they get the timeliness to the care is not at a point where it needs to be. >> doctor fola may is an associate professor of medicine at ucla and a voices ambassador. >> unfortunately, there's been a bias in medical research and that we are less likely to study black and brown populations and science, which is why this study is so important. >> it will follow participants for years to come, and what researchers discover can help improve the quality of care for future generations. i know being part of a study can sound a little scary, but doctor o'daly says it's mostly answering
5:17 am
questions. >> i think it's just filling out a bunch of surveys every so often, you know, sort of identifying if you do get diagnosed with a breast cancer with sort of finding out what's happening afterwards and then tracking things in the future as well, and what your experience has been through that journey. >> ama daetz abc seven news and happening today. >> survivors and advocates will be making strides against breast cancer in santa clara. the american cancer society will put on the annual 3 to 5 mile walk at california's great america. that walk raises money and funds research that helps develop life saving programs. gates open at eight, followed by the walk at 830. parking is free for all riders who get there before 10 a.m. the number of cases of e.coli tied to mcdonald's quarter pounders has risen to 75 people across 13 states. now that's up from the previous report earlier this week of 49 people across ten states. no cases have been reported here in california, but it's believed these infections are caused by
5:18 am
the fresh onions used on the burgers sourced from salinas based taylor farms. one person has died and 22 are hospitalized. at least one affected customer has filed a lawsuit against mcdonald's. humpback whales are putting crab season on hold. the commercial dungeness crab fishery south of the sonoma mendocino county line was scheduled to open on november 15th, but the state department of fish and wildlife has pushed back the opening. it's because of the large number of humpback whales in recent entanglements in the area. >> we're already seeing a high number of whales entangled in gear from may to october. we've seen four entangled in dungeness crab gear confirmed entangled, and we've seen an additional ten humpback whales entangled in unknown fishing gear that hasn't been able to be identified. and there's also currently several whales entangled in monterey bay. so i think we'll be seeing some numbers rolling in that are really uncomfortable as we continue to delay the season due to high whale risk. >> the group oceana has been
5:19 am
working with both fishers and the state on testing ropeless traps. the traps limit the risk of whales becoming entangled, and the group hopes upgrading those traps will allow fishers to extend the crab fishing season this spring. it might also help make up for some of the lost revenue from the delayed opening. dia de los muertos is almost here and today on abc7, localish is celebrating the traditions that make the holiday so special. from building home altars to street festivals filled with music and dance, there are so many wonderful ways to honor loved ones. >> i like to honor my roots, my culture, my heritage, through my art. >> for dia de los muertos, you have to have your dia de los muertos bread. >> yes you do. plus, there's so much more about how the holiday is growing more popular. from movies to shopping malls, even big league ballparks and the disneyland resort. don't miss local celebrates dia de los muertos tonight at 8:30 p.m. right here on abc seven. happening today in san

5:34 am
joined the grateful dead, and inside six months he was playing it as well as anybody could play it. >> it was his love of jazz musician john coltrane and improvization that created the grateful dead sound. >> grateful dead music is about a conversation and one of the most interesting conversations ever was always the one between garcia and lesh. he created this completely unique approach to bass. >> lesh did not write many songs, but the few he did. pen became iconic. after jerry garcia died, lesh retired from music but found he could not stay away. he established his own band. later, he founded terrapin crossroads in san rafael. >> it was a place where musicians came and went, hung out, exchanged ideas. it was a laboratory that he could experiment in. >> but it's his legacy with the grateful dead that will live forever. >> deadheads. what they loved was grateful music. it was not a
5:35 am
cult of personality. 30 years after jerry died, there's more deadheads than ever. >> lesh had survived cancer and a liver transplant. a post on lush's instagram says he passed peacefully, surrounded by his family and full of love. phil lesh was 84 years old. in san francisco karina nova, abc, seven news and deadheads descended on the haight-ashbury house that the band called home in the 60s. >> all those deadheads there to remember phil lesh. many fans revisited memories, including a couple from atlanta. the two deadheads met at a concert, and it just so happens that they were visiting san francisco friday when we heard the news that phil had died, we decided we wanted to come down here and just pay our respects. >> it's like watching a bunch of your friends get older and everybody gets older, and so people die. but the music goes on, and that music defined a generation and is still inspiring generations of fans to follow.

5:37 am
agencies seized 16 cars. the chp says they were involved in two different sideshows the weekend after labor day. >> sideshows in vallejo is a constant problem that requires a lot of resources. >> vallejo police say license plate readers are a help. >> we do have flock safety cameras in vallejo, and they do work really well. right now, we're only using flock for license plate readers and single and multiple gunshot detection, but the technology could soon be put to greater use. >> this week, flock safety launched a first of its kind sideshow detection tool to help communities combat illegal sideshows. it uses ai and machine learning technology to identify certain sounds, specifically the screeching of tires, and send law enforcement agencies real time alerts that a sideshow is happening. the ceo of flock safety calls it, quote, a groundbreaking tool that enables agencies to act faster and prevent these dangerous events before they escalate. police and the chp say even
5:38 am
without it, the audio the tech is making a difference. >> i know technology is improving and it's and it's the wave of the future. and it's causing officers to detect and improve our strategies better. so i don't see how it could hurt as we continue to see innovative technologies coming out that allow law enforcement to, you know, identify issues that we're having and maybe how to better investigate them just in general, that that advent of new technology that benefits us ultimately is a benefit to the people that we serve as well. >> suzanne phan abc7 news abc7 news reached out to flock and asked which cities are using the new tech and which cities are thinking about using it. >> a spokesperson would not say, but we have found out that san francisco, oakland and san jose are not testing or using the technology as of now. well, still ahead on abc seven mornings. a space under a staircase is available for rent.
