it's a familiar response in cities that struggle to control violence among young people. the cycle of retaliation after a violent crime. we're about to meet one young man who chose a different path. a 16-year-old junior at hayward's high school. he admits he's a bit shy. so knocking on strangers doors to get them to sign a petition

is definitely outside of his comfort zone, but it's what he was willing to do in order to dot right thing. when violence takes the life of someone close, revenge sometimes feels like a good response. an eye for an eye, a fair deal. that is not, however, how he sees it. >> i wasn't angry. i was sad. >> last august raymond's friend a mount eden high school graduate with plans to jane toi marines was shot and killed while walking a female friend home one night. raymond heard whisk pers from some who wanted to take matters into their own hands and not leave justice to the police. >> that shocked me. because that's not how i felt chianti. i didn't see him holding that crowd of people that would try

to put themselves -- >> raymond decided a more fitting response. the dark act was to shine a light. literally. you see while revisiting the spot his friend was shot, raymond noticed how dark it was at night. he contacted the city to see what he could do about it. a list of rules followed about making measurements, taking photographs, and collecting signatures. all of which raymond spent weeks following. >> it was more than just, you know, doing something. it was helping communities and people. >> i didn't know they were going to do all of this. >> raymond's petition asked for lights to be added to a single pole near the crime scene. the city responded with much, much more. last week lightening improvements were completed up-and-down the block. this admittedly shy 16-year-old had gotten the attention of his city leaders and earned their

respect in the process. >> i think what a positive role model this kid is for the community, for his friends. this young man chose to take a different course of action to do better for the community. to make the community safer. raymond said he never expected his plan to work so well, though he's happy it did. his was just a simple hope. that this spot never be darkened by violence again. >> after the shooting of murphy police released sketches of three people they're looking for but so far no arrests in the case. if you do know of someone doing something nice for others, we would love to hear from you. today in the bay is back after this break. we'll continue our team coverage of this weekend's storm, what happened so far, and what is still to come.

many believe the confrontational for the infrastructurfractur fractured the gop to the point of no return.

it's no secret that the republid divisiveness. less well it's no secret that the republican presidential candidates have plunged the party into chaos. less well known is that the republican party nationally is a distant third to the democrats a in numbers. we heard so much after super tuesday about donald trump energizing the gop that he's bringing more republicans out to vote. more voters in general. but overall you're saying there are fewer registered republicans.

what does it say about the party? >> i wish i could tell you. we're in uncharted waters here. it's so hard to know whether the party is on its way out or in the midst of some sort of internal struggle. but the ugly battles among the contenders for the republican nomination, well, they flekt a political party in search of its identity and search of more members. take a look at a recent study undertaken by the independent pugh research center which asked people to identify their partisanship as democrats, republicans, or independents. according to the study released last year democrats had the most members at 39%. that's been kind of studied by independents with 32%. a big change. republicans now claim less than one out of four voters or 23%. >> wow. that is a really startling statistic. okay. how do the republicans hope to win this november given these numbers? are they hoping to take voters from the other parties?

good question. by doing what people like donald trump, frankly, has been doing so successfully in the primaries. most of the republican primaries and caucus have been open to independents and democrats, vicky. trump's appeal has transskended that republican base and captured sizable numbers of independents and democrats. that's why folks like marco rubio and ted cruz have been screaming that trump has abandoned the party's staunch conservative on fiscal and religious issues. in many respects, he has cobbled together, trump has, a new coalition of supporters. by the way, a name for this. the process is known as party realignment. it happens every 40 or 50 years. and could be happening now. >> what does it mean for the democrats? will the numbers themselves identify democrats staying within their parties? that depends on whether the realignment is real rather than a temporary fad connected with

the primary season and donald trump. if trump holds on to the new coalition and gains republican nomination democrats need to work hard to keep their members and that gets to what we call enthusiasm. we heard lot about that. hillary clinton has won the most delegates. we know that. and as we understand now, it's likely to win the democratic nomination. bernie sanders attracted the largest crowd and millions of dollars in small amounts response clinton must tap into that enthusiasm if she hopes to keep her democratic base in place. >> you were showing us the numbers earlier and that data. perhaps that's going to be more fluid. it looks kind of stark on paper. we talk about less than one in four. there's the numbers there one in four being republicans. perhaps we'll see more fluidity in november. >> the party registration numbers that we've always looked at this time around they may not reflect what they have in the past. and if that's the case, this election may be more

unpredictable than any time in the recent them. we are in uncharted waters. >> quickly. in california you can't vote in the primary for a different party. you have to vote along party lines. isn't that right? >> democrats allow independents to come in to their party primary. republican, however, keep everybody out. it's only republicans. in that sense republicans will have a truer primary in california than other states. in north carolina that was republicans only. that's why people like cruz and rubio were screaming. you're changing the combination. you're changing the way things are being done. it's not fair. maybe not fair but it's working for donald trump. >> sure. maybe, as you said, it's part of a realignment reflecting what voters truly want. >> thank you so much. we'll be right back with a last look at weather. stay with us.
