>> we're waking up to the same amount of low gray clouds we've had about every morning for the last week. that's south bay from the camera on the mountains on the west side of the valvalley. san jose, you're down there. if you're far enough inland, contra costa, alameda kcounty, sunny. livermore, more sun than not and 50s. the clouds will all melt back to the beaches by late morning, so everybody gets sunshine. you'll warm right back up into the low 90s for many of the warmest inland locations today. you'll be low 70s along the bay shoreline. in other words, exactly what you've been doing all week. i'll show what happens next in the forecast in a few minutes. for now, devin, back to you. a wildfire is growing and prompting mandatory evacuations. the oak fire started yesterday afternoon in mid pines. it is burning in one of the more heavily pop youulated areas of mariposa county.

there are unconfirmed reports on social media, buildings being destroyed. cal fire said the oak fire has already grown to 4,300 acres with no containment at this point. evacuees say they didn't have much time to pack up and leave, as conditions became more dangerous. >> came by 15, 20 minutes ago and told us everybody has to go. 4:00, the power went out, and the fire has been coming towards us faster and faster. >> the sheriff's department came out and got our horses, and mariposa county spca, they take evacuations for smaller animals. >> an evacuation center is relocated to an elementary school as the fire keeps spreading. flames shut down highway 140, one of the routes into yosemite. progress against the marsh fire has been reported. it's been sending smoke for weeks into several towns in east contra costa county. working. says flooding whhee b they hope to have it confirmed.hildren haven

one of them is a toddler from california. kpix 5's andrea nakano spoke to an expert from stanford children's health about the potential impact of monkeypox on the youngest population. >> reporter: the california department of public health confirms the toddler got it from someone close to the child who had the infection. while it may be a concern, the health expert we spoke with says a major outbreak among children is unlikely. until now, this new strain of the monkeypox had been spreading mainly among a certain segment of the population. >> if you look at the epidemiology, it is heavily weighted at this time, though not exclusively, to men who have sex with men. >> reporter: but on friday, health officials confirming two positive cases, one in an infant that traveled through washington, d.c., the other is a toddler from california. >> the likelihood of a child getting infected was very low, but there's no reason why it couldn't infect children.

>> reporter: dr. maldonado is a chief of pediatric infectious diseases at stanford children's health. she says since you have to have extended contact with an infected person, such as skin-to-skin contact, there's no need to be overly concerned, but just be aware. >> i think people just need to be very careful about their contact with people who have been at high risk for exposure. >> reporter: dr. maldonado says this latest strain of monkeypox so far has been less severe than ones in the past. the centers for disease control says both children are taking antiviral medication, but there's a lack of data for the drug from clinical trials for children. that also applies to vaccines. >> the studies for this vaccine were really done in adults, so we don't have a lot of data in children. we need to generate more data there so we understand what to do for kids. >> reporter: andrea nakano, kpix 5. a small plane crash outside

of reid-hillview airport in san jose. it went down at 10:15, crashing into a fence during an emergency landing. this is the scene of the 2100 block of evelyn avenue. the aircraft came to a stop on a sidewalk just outside of the airport. the crash didn't cause any damage to homes or other buildings, but it did take on a utility pole with some power lines. pg&e was on the scene overnight, working to get the light back on. some residents heard the crash from inside of their home. >> just the fact that he hit the gate, and he was bleeding and still moving, it was pretty overwhelming. glad -- i hope he is doing okay. >> could have hit any one of us exercising or walking our dogs or family, so it is pretty concerning. >> the pilot was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. his condition has now been stabilized. a jury has decided the death of tyrell wilson was a homicide. he was shot by a contra costa

county sheriff's deputy last year. kpix 5's shawn chitnis has more on the friday inquest at the courthouse. >> reporter: the family of tyrell wilson and their supporters say the focus now moves on the district attorney. they're waiting to see if she will file charges in this case. >> i'm speaking on my son's behalf, and i'm seeking justice for my son. because he didn't deserve to be killed like that. >> reporter: marvin wilson traveled from texas to be at the inquest on friday for his son's death. a coroner's inquest happens when the sheriff needs to investigate a deadly case involving an officer. the jury of 13 had four options and voted unanimously for death at the hands of another, other than by accident. confirming to the family this was a homicide. >> hall did violate my son's rights, and the sheriff department needs to be held accountable for that. >> reporter: family attorney john burris wants officer andrew hall to be charged with second degree murder or manslaughter. >> the closure would be criminal prosecution. criminal prosecution. the man has killed two people, and i think it is important for

the family to have that. >> reporter: wilson died in march of 2021 when hall confronted him. hall was responding to a report of someone throwing rocks onto 680. his body camera video showed wilson, homeless at the time, holding a knife. but others say the deputy failed to identify that wilson was menially ill. >> the change is that officers are trained on how best to respond to these situations. >> reporter: earlier this year, the sheriff of contra costa county, also the coroner, sent a letter out to his staff defending his officer, hall. sheriff david livingston was responding to the d.a.'s decision to sentence hall to six years in prison for another shooting, where another man died. he said, in part, for our district attorney to charge any peace officer for a crime based on a split-second, tactical decision is abhorrent. >> it's a bias process. the sheriff and the coroner are one. >> reporter: other families who have lost loved ones while they were in police custody say this

is a flawed approach, and they're pushing for legislation to split up the two offices. >> that body cam footage is training video on what not to do. >> what not to do. >> reporter: the district attorney declined to comment on the inquest. there's no upcoming deadline for her on when she needs to file charges in this case. reporting in martinez, shawn chitnis, kpix 5. in a developing story, a judge in oakland has extended a retraining order preventing cal trans from clearing the homeless encampment. the site under the mcarthur maze has been the site of concern due to multiple fires. a federal judge says the caltrans, oakland, and alameda county must come up with a plan for where the homeless will go. another hearing is set for august 26th. the judge does say the camp eventually will have to be cleared out. california has a first of its kind gun law, but at least one left-leaning advocacy group says governor newsom is taking

the wrong approach. sara donchey looks at the debate. >> reporter: governor newsom isn't being timid about his move toward gun control in our state, and that seems to be the point. in fact, political analysts say he wants his message heard all across the country for a reason. on friday, governor newsom signed a bill into law, allowing citizens to sue anyone who distributes or manufacturers assault weapons or ghost guns. he said it is a move to public safety, but the measure serves another purpose, too. >> you cannot sell, cannot manufacture, you cannot transfer these illegal weapons of war and mass destruction in the state of california, and if you do, there are 40 million people that can collect $10,000 from you and attorney fees for engaging in that illegal activity. >> reporter: the law is modelled after one in texas that allows people to sue those who provide or assist in abortions amid the state's abortion ban. california senate bill 1327 could set in motion another

legal battle, and it seems newsom hopes it does. >> there is no principled way -- let me make this crystal clear, there is no principled way the united states supreme court can overturn this law and uphold the right for texas to continue to move forward with sb-8. >> reporter: the aclu had sharp criticism for newsom, creating a bounty system to encourage lawsuits, similar to texas. quote, there is no way to take advantage of the flawed logic of the texas law, no worthy motive, and no permissible goal could justify a dangerous assault on our constitutional structure. but newsom insists it's time to be aggressive. >> it's time to put them on the defense. we're sick and tired of being on the defense in this movement. it's time to put them on the defense. >> reporter: newsom is taking his fight to the national stage, running ads in texas and florida, where he called out

both states' republican governors, fueling speculation the governor could have his sight on a presidential run. >> people could easily interpret his actions as a presidential move in light of the unpopularity of the president, in light of issues like inflation and gas. gavin newsom sees that the president has covid. again, the perfect storm would have to happen, but gavin newsom is preparing himself for the perfect storm. >> reporter: sara donchey, kpix 5. san francisco's chinatown features some of the most delicious food in the city. today, the community youth center is hosting a tasting event, craving chinatown. it brings local restaurants together under one roof for a celebration of the neighborhood's food culture. >> this craving chinatown will feature 30 local eateries who serve up varieties of entrees,

filipino restaurant, there's a filipino community, there's things that i didn't see in my childhood that happened here. >> reporter: jo grew up in seattle in the '80s. he said he first visited daly city when he performed at the comedy club. >> i was always, like, yo, where are all these filipinos coming from, you know what i mean? they're like, daly city. i'm like, what? >> reporter: now you own the town. >> i have a key. i am going to put this on my key chain. >> reporter: and the day was declared his by the city's first filipino-american mayor. >> i know so many people who have seen the film who are asian-american and say they feel seen on the screen. >> good. >> what is that senseover responsibility, to showcase your community feel like? >> i love it. the idea is to tell a story without being too specific, right? i didn't want the whole movie to be, hey, filipinos do this and do that. i didn't want to do that for the sake of just having laughs. >> reporter: he says the film,

which steven spielberg helped get made, shines a light on bay area filipinos. jo worked in a song by a filipino rapper, peelo. in the film, his cousin wears a warriors jersey. the number belongs to the nba's first filipino-american player, raymond townsend. i think you're paving the way for other comedians and actors of color. >> yes. i want this story to stay open for everybody. let's hear everybody's family story. >> jo koy, thank you so much. you're hella funny. >> you're so good. >> reporter: in daly city, betty yu, kpix 5. >> "easter sunday" opens in theaters august 5th. drivers in alameda county may need to plan extra time. highway 84 in the canyon is closed in both directions between palamaris and fremont. caltrans crews are doing concrete work on the alameda creek bridge. the road closure is scheduled to

end 5:00 a.m. on monday. we're going to start out the forecast checking in on the scene at sfo. just to see the low clouds hanging out here over much of the peninsula. it'll look like that. east bay, shoreline, a lot looks this way, too. certainly in the city. if you're inland, contra costa and alameda county, waking up to sunshine today. north bay valleys, you have low clouds, too. it's gone by late morning, then nothing but sunshine and a day that'll feel much like yesterday did. mid 50s for most locations. if we watch the progression of how the clouds melt back, by 11:00 in the morning, you're already seeing more sunshine even in the city than anything else. then we're just right back to where we've been. day time highs today are not that different from what you've had the last several days. the day time highs coming your way the next seven days are not going to be all that different from the daytime highs you've

had the past several days. no big swings. mid to upper 80s for the south bay. east bay shoreline, upper 70s, around 80 up and down the peninsula. 90s for much of the inland valleys of the east bay. 90 in dublin. mid sif70s along the east shoreline. 90s for marin. temperatures climb up to the mid 90s and upper 90s, in fact, for mendocino andforecast, you'll see what i mean by not a lot of change. san francisco, oakland, san jose, not a lot of change. 80s, and it's not budging a lot all the way to next weekend. for our microclimates can day time highs in the 90s for the inland valleys of the east bay, you'll cool to the mid 80s as we go through the next few days. one of the stories devin was talking about at the top of the newscast is the oak fire, which is burning not far from the border of yosemite national

park. that is this morning's picture from the camera network provided by the alert wildfire network. to show you the behavior of the smoke the last 15 minutes. this fire is still going, and it has had a pretty good rate of spread in the last 24 hours. it has grown pretty much as much in just less than 24 hours. it has grown to be almost the exact same size as the other fire that was burning within the border of yosemite. that's the washburn fire over there. fairly well contained and under control. the oak fire from yesterday, same size, less than 4 h24 hour. this has more fuel to burn through. the question becomes for us at home, how is the smoke going to behave? we'll see a lot of the smoke drift off to the north and west. by the time we get to monday, we could potentially be looking at some of the it drifting into the sky, sky, devin. a lot depends on how the fire behaves. there's concerns on the ground. this one is a little more in the

wild urban interface, so there have been impacts on minor structures there. it is not threatening any town directly. devin. >> one of the interesting things from the time lapse you just showed is that there were two plumes of smoke that clearly sort of indicate that that fire is burning in two separate directions. >> yeah. in fact, i've got a tool i can look at, and maybe i'll show it next time, how the fire is to progress the next two days. it grows equally on every boundary. south and north. there have not been a lot of fires, if you look at the fire history around the oak fire, there has not been a significant fire on that landscape in the last several decades. >> wow. >> it has room to grow north, south, east and west. >> thank you. >> yeah. giants and dodgers last night from los angeles. in sports, we're showing you another thrilling finish. you want wild? we've got wild. the craziest grand slam you may ever see is coming up next in sports.

death when she was a student in the mid '90s. we have more on the trial in monterrey county. >> reporter: back into the courtroom, denise and stan smart will make this walk in and out until there is a verdict. on the stand most of the morning, kristin's dad, stan, still, as he put it, looking for his daughter. he's shown a flyer of flores with a headline, "warning." in smaller print, about a paragraph of kristin's disappearance and the reason it was printed. quote, paul flores is refusing to cooperate with law enforcement. it is a point of contention, asking why a flyer would be handed out with his personal information. it opened him up to harassment. stan said, remember, we're the victim family and missing our daughter. ultimately knowing flores was the last person to see smart alive, stan's suspicions of the man on trial next to his father are the same ones he shared with cbs 13 just 34 days after kristin disappeared.

>> when i first heard that, i was real troubled by it. makes me more convinced that he is involved. >> reporter: a prickly back and forth with ruben's state's attorney, who asked stan for a specific number of times he drove past flores' rio grande home, the same, prosecutors say, where kristin's body was once buried under the deck. stan said he'd driven by a few times, not many, inspired once to go as a father looking to talk about his daughter. in response, he said ruben threatened him. stan has long maintained paul's father knows more than he's shared with investigators. one of the times back with us in 1996. >> we're hopeful that we'll be able to find out what the truth is. we haven't been able to to this point. a man who devoted much of his life to making oakland a better place has died. he founded forever oakland and fought hard to try to deep the raiders in town. da lin remembers the man known as godfather griz jones.

he played football at college. >> reporter: close friend chris lane says griz later turned his passion from football to helping the homeless. on the first saturday of every month, he and his group would clean up encampments around the coliseum and feed the homeless. friends say he had a booming voice and generous personality. >> we get the bad rap of oakland, but he showed the better side. we are able to do something about it. >> at one point in my life, i would have been homeless. no questions asked, he said, come live with me until you get back on your feet. forever will be grateful for that. >> reporter: friends say he learned of his esophagus and liver cancer late last night but didn't tell anyone until recent weeks. >> prideful person. very, very prideful. didn't want people to think he was weak. >> reporter: he passed away wednesday morning. griz was 52 years old. growing up in oakland, people used to tell me leaving oakland meant moving up in life.

griz moved back to oakland, trying to make a difference. there's no doubt the man embraced and loved oakland. >> oakland lost a great one. lost a great one. >> the raiders used their official website to make a statement of condolence to friends and family of griz jones. he was a fierce advocate for oakland. embodied raider tailgating, often starting days prior to each game and welcome all of raider nation to join in to the lead-up to game days. tomorrow, friends will hold a candle light vigil on 66th ave in front of the oakland coliseum. it'll start at 6:00 p.m. it is telling that everyone fire z was a boudin hire, so there was a political motive. >> one of the 15 employees in the san francisco d.a.'s office fired by interim d.a. brooke jenkins. they were all people originally hired by her predecessor, chesa boudin. kpix 5 talked with a former assistant d.a. who says the

changes could cause problems for the functioning of the office. >> reporter: when ryan went into work last thursday morning, he never expected it to be his last day in the san francisco district attorney's office. >> i just was on the highway with my family on my way to a wedding, and i just, in what seemed like she was reading a script, fired me on the spot. then turned it over to human resources. >> reporter: the bay area native was one of 15 employees hired under former district attorney, ches sa chesa boudin, abruptly let go. >> shocked. trying to process what's going on. >> reporter: one week since his last day in the office, he said his biggest concern the broader implications of the sweeping turnover. >> i was thinking of my colleagues who i respect, i've gotten along with well, and i know they have a hard job. they're already overworked. >> reporter: but he says he worries the tough on crime path that new district attorney

brooke jenkins may forge could jeopardize his work. >> how, especially, it'll impact the juvenile justice system here in san francisco. we want the kids that come within the system to be prepared not to commit crimes anymore and have a good life. >> reporter: as of our conversation, he hadn't had the chance to collect his office belongings. >> i was just a regular attorney. i was in court. i handled cases. i have no management power. i have no policy power. i followed orders. i got approval. i did my job. >> reporter: says he was instructed to share details of his open cases through his personal email account. >> they were basically asking me to send confidential, prosecutorial work product, information of people, personal information, via gmail. >> reporter: he says while he remains shocked by his ousting, he wants to see jenkins succeed, both for the office and for the

city. >> at this point, i think she's fully responsible for the successes and/or downfalls of whatever may take place in the next couple months. i cared about my job. i cared about my colleagues. i worked well with the police department. i just hope that there can be a stabilization, because that's what this community and this city deserves. >> reporter: now, there is hiring news coming out of the d.a.'s office. yesterday, jenkins announced she has brought on a three high-level members to the d.a.'s office, serving in the criminal, independent investigations and post convictions unit. an official for the d.a.'s office tells me these staff changes were in an effort to reprioritize resources to line attorneys and provide support to prosecutors, as well as to add three women of color to the management team. in the newsroom, kpix 5. san francisco's square just got a $4 million boost for its renovation plans. the state money is part of an effort to prioritize aapi

communities. portsmith square is known as the heart of the bay area's chinese-american community. the project includes upgrading the cerny street bridge, plus adding a clubhouse, exercise equipment, and play areas. >> every time our chinese-american community has anything to say, something to talk about, has an issue we want to raise, portsmith square is where we come. portsmith square is where we fight for our rights and our community. >> construction is expected to begin next year. it looks like the bay area is a driving force behind california's job gains. new numbers from last month show the bay area produced about three quarters of all the jobs added in california. santa clara county and the east bay had the biggest gains. california added nearly 20,000 jobs in june, but for the fourt smaller than the previous month. one bright spot, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.2%. the lowest since february of 2020. january 6th investigation hearings are expected to continue in september.

♪ just in time for the summer trip to the beach, the monterrey bay aquarium released a study about the shark population. there has been a population boom for young great white sharks in california waters. they seem to especially like the waters in santa cruz county. the cal state university long beach shark lab says they're seeing a specific increase in juvenile great white sharks. 4 to 9 feet long and usually aren't a threat to humans.
