like firing back. pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop. and the car just kind of skidded off, but kind of fast. and he was in the middle of the street shooting, like trying to get him. >> i've been speaking to mario juarez by an encrypted phone app. he tells me he can't be in oakland right now because he in still fears for his life. he sent a written statement, first reported by the san francisco chronicle, that says two suspects were nabbed in december 2024 tied to these attacks. but justice, it never came. oakland police e the arrest, but the da's office, just days after pamela price left office because of the recall, allowed the suspects to walk without charges and without informing juarez that the men who may have shot at him were back on the streets. it's an issue of safety, right? >> yes, absolutely. it's definitely an issue of safety. >> ernie castillo is mario juarez's attorney. >> when you have people coming to your house and you get into a shootout and people shoot at you, that's a huge concern. so we should have been notified by

that former administration 100%. >> mario juarez recently had a fraud case against him dropped. he was accused of bouncing checks for a mailer that supported xiang tao in her race for mayor. as part of that case, juarez accused then district attorney pamela price of demanding $25,000 from him to help her recall, saying when he refused, she filed the criminal case against h. >> in that motion were declarations and statements by witnesses, including mario juarez, that the former administration had tried to shake down mario for $25,000, and if he had not contributed to that campaign for $25,000, then they would charge him. >> through her attorneys, price denied asking juarez for money back to the shooting. in june, neighbors confirmed to me that the day after the gunfire, the fbi canvased the neighborhood looking for witnesses and surveillance video. and just ten days later, agents raided the homes of then mayor shengtao, her partner andre jones, and david and andy duong, owners of california waste solutions.

they're all charged with conspiracy, bribery, mail and wire fraud, and more. federal prosecutors also claim tao agreed to purchase modular units for the homeless from evolutionary homes, a company run by the huang's and mario juarez. >> the product that we have is a single family residence home. >> though he is not named in the indictment, juarez appears to be unindicted coconspirator one who acted as a go between for the wongs and shang tao. now, mario juarez says, they saw me as a threat. not because i'm perfect, because i wouldn't bow. they wanted me dead to keep their secrets safe, to silence a voice that wouldn't shut up. they picked the wrong man. e da's office now tells me they are taking a fresh look at the shooting case. one month before that happened, mario juarez says he was beaten by ten men outside the headquarters of california waste solutions. he expected to testify in the federal corruption case coming up. dan. >> what a story. >> yeah. >> thank you. yeah. thanks, jim.

areas. this one is for one of the coastal locations. you can see 43 at 1:00 in the afternoon on our storm impact scale. this is a moderate strength storm, a level two rain downpours in the afternoon evening. strong gusty winds. there's a slight possibility of thunderstorms as well. i'll be back with a full look at that timeline, plus the accuweather seven day forecast showing you more storms coming right up. >> ama all right. thank you sandhya. a sign of solidarity today at two baya universities in support of a pro-palestinian activist in ice custody. a group of stanford students held a walkout today for mahmoud khalil. he is a student at columbia university and a pro-palestinian activist. khalil is accused of activities in support of hamas, a designated terrorist organization. students also gathered at uc berkeley's sproul plaza as part of a national day of action to free mahmoud khalil. he is a palestinian and a permanent u.s. resident. ice agents took him into custody saturday at his apartment, and the government is trying to deport him. >> south bay leaders say they're

making a new push to address what they're calling landlording. they say people are illegally renting substandard rvs to the unhoused, letting them live in poor conditions. think of slumlords that reference. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has more on the proposal. leaders hope will help build a better bay area. >> we walk and come and get some water. >> juanita macias and her husband live in one of the dozens of rvs seen in this area in san jose. theirs isn't one of the ones connected to this water source, so they come to it and carry water back to their rv. today she owns an rv. before that, she was renting one for $500 every month monthly rent. that didn't include the most basic features. >> there was no electricity, no water. >> she wasn't alone. she says many of her neighbors are still renting rvs like that owned by landlords, who charge even higher prices. >> charging like 1000. $800. >> calling them landlords, san jose city council member ben doan says he and other council

members have been briefed by san jose police about the problem. pd says there are at least two known individuals who have been renting around 15 to 20 rvs that are nearly unlivable to people who are unhoused. >> these bad actors going out there and towing these dilapidated, unregistered, unsafe rvs or vans or even trailers and then renting it out illegally. >> dewan, along with the mayor and two other council members, say they're proposing a crackdown on these so-called landlords, issuing a memorandum for increased enforcement. >> to help our police department and our code enforcement give them an extra tool. >> the memo directs city staff to come back with a clear plan in collaboration with the city manager, city attorney and also police and fire departments. advocate sean cartwright says the idea is tackling the issue the wrong way. >> people are definitely being taken advantage of, but you have to remove those people from thee situation and put them in housing first before you go after the landlords.

>> dewan points to his sj love proposal, a large homeless shelter with wraparound services as one option for where people can go if they leave rvs. cartwright, though, says most of the unhoused don't feel comfortable living in a large shelter setting as debate on the larger solutions to homelessness rages on. san jose city staff has 90 days to come back with their recommendations on a plan to address landlords in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> new developments happening just days before the great highway is set to close to cars. a group is now suing to keep the road open. thursday is the last day before a two mile stretch between lincoln and sloat is turned into the city's newest park. voters approved the plan back in november when they passed measure k. the new park will officially open april 12th. abc seven news reporter tim johns has the last ditch effort to stop it. >> dozens of people gathering tuesday at an intersection on san francisco's west side. the group there to hear about a new lawsuit challenging the legality of proposition k. prop k is a ballot measure that was passed

by voters last november that would shut down a portion of the great highway starting friday. >> prop k proponents, just in their haste to sneak this on the ballot, decided that they were going to ignore the state law. >> richard correa led tuesday's news conference. he believes prop k violates state law by permitting an unauthorized road closure, and for failing to do an environmental impact report. but for many here, the partial closure of the great highway means closing a vital street. >> if you all came out here on a day that the great highway is closed and you tried to cross golden gate park to get over to the going south or going north, it's a nightmare. people can't get around. >> a lot of the frustration is also being directed at supervisor joel engardio, who represents much of this area and supported prop k's passage. in a statement, engardio told abc7 news, i have confidence in the city attorney's ability to draft legal ballot measures that go before san francisco voters. my guess is the court will quickly see this lawsuit has no merit. the passion among people at this

news conference is palpable. however, not everyone out here today thinks that this lawsuit should be filed. that includes lucas lux, who wants to see that portion of the great highway closed and a park developed. >> we have extended multiple invites to the leaders of the no on k folks to work together on neighborhood improvements, including addressing their concerns on traffic. their answer is filing lawsuits. >> while voters in the city's west overwhelmingly voted against prop k. city voters overall passed the measure with around 55% of the vote. lux thinks this lawsuit is an attempt to undermine the will of the voters. >> in a democracy. vote voting is how we decide on issues, especially when we have strong opinions. and for our democracy to work, we have to honor votes and not try to overturn them through obstructionism. >> the city attorney's office said they would respond to the lawsuit in court in san francisco. tim jonze, abc seven news. >> still to come, talk about a big change. no more free checked bags on southwest. it is a

always operated. yet profits speak a little bit differently. and this new activist investor that has really stepped in in the last few years is making some changes. and unfortunately for consumers, this is having an impact on how much it's going to cost to travel. >> for southwest air, tickets purchased on or after may 28th, customers will have to pay to check their bags, but there will be some exceptions. a-list preferred status will still get to check two bags for free. a-list level members will get one free checked bag. southwest credit card holders will also get one free checked bag. lawanda evans of atlanta says she's going to do things differently the next time she flies on southwest. >> i'll think twice about making sure i have a carry on bag and not a checked bag. i'm going to find the most economical way to travel. >> and no word yet how much it's going to cost if you check your bags on southwest airlines. but if you fly on delta, american or united, it will cost $35 per bag. live at oakland airport suzanne phan abc seven.

code falls in a service area. waymo is currently available in san francisco and daly city as well. >> an update now to the breaking news we're following. san francisco police say a woman was stabbed on board a muni train, and they do have two suspects in custody. this happened a little after 530 this evening on a muni metro t train in the bayview. you're looking at footage from sky seven over third street by carol avenue. police say the woman who was stabbed has life threatening injuries. she has been taken to the hospital by paramedics. witnesses say two suspects ran from the train onto egbert avenue. officers chased them and caught them. the investigation is ongoing and police are still on the scene. muni service, though, is resuming normal service today. the ntsb released its preliminary report on the investigation into january's deadly mid-air collision at reagan national airport. the crash between a commercial plane and a u.s. army helicopter left 67 people dead. the ntsb report revealed the airport had more

than 15,000 near-misses between commercial planes and helicopters between october of 2021 and last december. the agency is recommending the faa ban helicopter operations near the airport when two of its high traffic runways are in use. >> los angeles and its neighbor to the east, ontario, have been ranked among the most polluted cities in america. that's according to a new report from iq air. ten of the worst 15 cities on the poor air quality ranking were located in either central or southern california. no bay area cities were named the major u.s. city with the cleanest air seattle. the report found only 17% of global cities meet the world health organization's guidelines on air pollution, so work to be done. >> we will have moisture in our air quite quickly. >> yeah, that will clean out the air some. sandhya patel is back with the forecast. >> yeah. let's take a look at live doppler seven will certainly get fresher air as that storm comes in and cleans the air out, as dan just

mentioned. a lot of clouds right now on live doppler seven. the rain arrives tomorrow morning. it gets stormy tomorrow afternoon. it's going to be chillier. 40s to 60s. as we check out the timeline, you can see the storm moving in. the intensity of the rain picks up and the wind. sierra is getting snow. thursday we could see snow on our higher peaks. and then on friday, here comes another system that will pretty much go through here quickly. and then late sunday night into monday we are expecting some more rain and sierra snow. when all is said and done, taking you all the way through early next week. most areas should be picking up rainfall anywhere from about an inch and a third to over two inches of rain up north, over a half a foot of rain. here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. it's a wet and windy wednesday. level two tomorrow a one for thursday, friday, sunday and monday and certainly do bring out the winter clothes because you're going to need them. a couple of days of chilly weather to ama and dan. >> yeah. all right. thanks, andy. >> all right. it's been fun watching the warriors latel, larry. >> yeah, they've been fantastic.

i mean, really rolling since the acquisition of jimmy butler. and they are about to get jonathan kuminga back. the timetable for jc. and just minutes ago, another loss for the niners and free agency. all that next

since, jonathan kuminga has played nba basketball. that will change on thursday, with jc

expected to make his return for the warriors against the kings just a couple of days away. espn's shams charania broke the news. kuminga was averaging 20 points per game in his last 14 contests before he suffered a really bad high ankle sprain. jc has missed 31 straight games, meaning he has not been on the court with jimmy butler outside of practice, so it may take soe time for them to gel the dubs 12 and two since butler's arrival, and they love having him on the team. >> he's a great player, so we're not worried about how does he fit or what. that's he'd be fine, you know? but i think, like i said, lucky for him, you know, we've kind of stabilized the ship and he can come in and find his rhythm and add to what we've been doing, which is what we need. >> it's a lot easier playing with jimmy butler, for one. he called it so much attention. so a lot of times my guy is looking at him on defense a lot, and then he's just always making the right play, always on the lookout. so he frees up a lot of open shots. >> i like playing with jimmy. jimmy is fun to play with. >> it feels like a mass exodus

for the 49 ers. a bunch of veterans leaving in free agency as the niners kind of tighten the belt on their finances. latest today pass rusher leonard floyd cut immediately signed with atlanta one year for $10 million. floyd did not have a huge impact with the 49 ers. the biggest loss is linebacker dre greenlaw. he signed with the broncos. greenlaw brought so much intensity. he was a hitting machine. was really missed for most of last year coming off a torn achilles. and kyle juszczyk has been released. juice is tremendous, but fullbacks are kind of a dying breed in the nfl and the niners, they can use other players in that role and this one hurts. minutes ago. five time pro bowler joey bosa signed not with the niners. he signed with buffalo one year, 12.6 million. the niners were hoping to pair joey, who was cut by the chargers, and brother nick bosa. kind of bosa bookends, if you will. but that is not happening. acc tournament. cal bears. i feel your pain. coming off a four overtime game against virginia tech. now cal down one in the

final seconds. they steal the ball. d.j. campbell is fouled. missed the first free throw. made the second one which sent the tovertime. one ot was not enough. second overtime. mady sissoko in the paint to put cal up four. then andre stojakovic on the baseline. cal wins 8273 and they are moving on in the acc tourna. they'll play stanford tomorrow. man. yet another injury for tiger woods. and this is serious. tiger tore his achilles tendon while training. surgery was described as minimally invasive. but the five time 15 time masters champ will almost certainly miss the masters in april, and he's had numerous back and leg injuries. tiger's last tour event was the british open. that was last july and five years ago today. the sports world shut down because of covid. you'll recall rudy gobert making light of the situation, touching all the microphones one day earlier. and then he tested positive. and you remember the reaction there. mark cuban, then the owner of the dallas mavericks when he saw the nba was shutting down because of the virus. arenas were empty for

months and our lives changed forever. remember, there was no sports. the only thing we could watch was korean baseball in the middle of the night. and then the, the, the cutout fans that they put remember all the cutouts. >> and the nba had fake fans. >> and the nba had fake fans, and they put everybody in the bubble in orlando. so, you know, it's just a really bizarre period. >> surreal to look back now. >> yeah yeah. and see and i wonder where all those cutouts are. >> combustion storage somewhere they may be needed again. >> yeah. the a's may. >> need them. that's funny. thanks, larry. >> coming up tonight on abc seven at 8:00. watch will trent at nine, the rookie, followed by high potential. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. you can get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for being here. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil. all

of us. we appreciate your time. hope you have a nice evening and that we see you again at 11.
