he's turned the neighborhood, along with the council president, trying to address safety in the committee. but this comes as local police are trying to find the gunmen who killed that ride-share and food delivery driver in little saigon. local police released a new video in hopes of solving the crime. we have to tell you, it is graphic. if the little ones are already up? move them away. police want to know if you recognize the suspect's mannerisms, or perhaps, the voices in this video.they are hoping that someone can help them arrest these people and charge the person who killed patrick fung. details on the shooting from just yesterday. we know that mireles died at the scene , and his girlfriend's son heard the shots and called his mother, who dropped what she was doing in the nearby chinatown to rush to the scene. chief armstrong says, he doesn't think that fung was targeted for anything other than his money or car. however, he admits, chinatown and little saigon are filled with immigrants and low-income

people, and are also in the same violent location -- as most violent locations in oakland. community members started a gofundme account for them. >> for this family to be safe, away from violence, but ultimately, ended up taking his life. >> the video is hard to watch, but if you saw something that you recognized, you can report it even anonymously to oakland police. guys? >> all right, kris, that is tough surveillance video, indeed, to watch. but if you can watch that, that can help catch the guys. nbayar get another look at it. you will find that homepage . now a live look on capitol hill, where the house judiciary committee is expected to consider a bill to ban assault weapons later today. this comes following a series of deadly mass shootings across the country the past few weeks.

>> reporter: united kingdom put out this prediction several years ago in a forecast when they said, in 2050, temperatures were going to hit 40 degrees celsius, which is 104 degrees. that addiction nearly came true less than three decades later. >> experts are now warning that those heat waves are going to become more frequent, longer- lasting and are going to be a lot harder. meteorologist terry hall has been tracking the troublesome trend we have been seeing. you got a new look for us this morning? >> yeah. i want to show you a graph with our average temperatures of extreme spikes in temperatures, as well as heat and extreme cold, with the average temperature in the middle. even with the slight shift in our average amateurs, those extremes become a lot more common. we are seeing them happening a lot further ahead than those originally forecasted. what that means is more intense

heat waves that mostly happen in late spring to early fall. but we have hotter temperatures possible in warmer climates and areas that we hadn't seen this kind of heat in before. we take it back to last year, when seattle had a temperature of 108 degrees. like british colombia, hitting 121 degrees. crazy extreme. yesterday, uk, the first time they have reached 104 degrees. all caused by climate change. we're seeing more intense heat. and stronger areas of high pressure, and now, some slight cooling in the forecast. hopefully, they will get some relief. even here, across the country, we are seeing extreme heat. it's going to be another day with all of these excessive heat warnings across the south on those areas and bright pink, over 100 degrees. even towards the northeast, we'll see extreme heat until thursday. then, across the southwest, we typically see the heat this time of year even hotter than

making. we had our second meeting yesterday. it's been a fantastic group of residents who really care about providing equity in our city, making sure that our city is just, and the conversations have been nothing but eye- opening and important. i think probably among the most important things i have learned about this whole process is that we have to have uncomfortable conversations, but we have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. >> exactly. >> sometimes, have to talk about public safety. >> so, couple of meetings under your belt so far. are discussing a lot of issues you hope to have action on some of these things, and what is coming out of it so far? >> i think the whole idea is an opportunity for our residents to have an open and frank and direct conversation to go to this commission and talk about their experiences, in terms of

public safety, and to have this commission come back, come up with policy ideas for the city council to make sure we are a more equitable city. one of the things we have learned about in this whole process is that we want to make sure that we provide a mental health service to those who are having mental health crises, and we have been able to help tackle that issue at the forefront by partnering with the county of san mateo and hiring a mental health commission and putting that in place without police officers, so that when there is a mental health crisis, when a local comes in, that we have a specialist to go with the police officer and help de- escalate, potentially, a mental health crisis happening in the city. >> i talked with the mayor about so much more. too much mindful interview, download our nbc bay area streaming up on apple, fire tv, roku or online on nbcbayarea.com.
