it was a very brutal and violent attack. >> police can't even take care of this problem. >> now at 11:00, a deadly stabbing that's gotten international attention and another high profile san franciscan violently attacked in his own neighborhood. what

locals are demanding tonight to keep them safe. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello, i'm sara donchey, the debate over public safety in san francisco has been really exploding over the last few days after the homicide of tech meteorologistul bob lee. tonight we're learning the city's former fire commissioner was brutally attacked in the marina last night. and tonight the police chief told us they have made an arrest in that case. don was attacked on magnolia between buchanan and laguna. he had surgery today in the hospital according to his friend. this is video of him here on the right. he appeared on the all in radio show about six months ago. he briefly served as fire commissioner in 2013 and is one of the city's biggest land lords for medical cannabis businesses. the police and d.a. said this about the attack tonight. >> i've seen the photo of the

former commissioner. it was a very brutal and violent attack. >> heart goes out to him and his family. he's expected to survive his injuries, which is good news. but you know, these types of brutal attacks and these types of brazen attacks, these are the type of things that have people anxious about what's happening. >> we don't know yet who was arrested. the cops have not said so far, but the d.a.'s office does expect to receive the case from police in the next few days, and they could file charges of assault with a deadly weapon. well just two days before that, tech executive bob lee was stabbed to death in the east cut neighborhood. police have not said if the attack was targeted or random, but it's led to a major outcry about public safety. as andrea nakano shows us, the issue was top of mind at a community meeting tonight in the sunset. >> reporter: on a thursday night, it was standing room only at this community meeting, the fatal stabbing of tech ceo bob lee has reinforced the belief that anything can happen

anywhere at any time. she's lived here more than 60 years. >> i've been downtown alone, and it is scary. >> reporter: margaret and her friend dorothy sat in a packed community center in the sunset district, hoping to hear some solutions to the rising crime. >> what matters is how people feel today and they do not feel safe. >> reporter: the fatal stabbing of tech ceo bob lee is just one of the cases addressed at the meeting. the crowd also listened to the city's approach to dealing with the drugs and the homelessness. >> the police can't even take care of this problem. so it's going to be going on and on and they'll be having more meetings. and there's no resolution that we'll see any time soon. >> reporter: there are residents that are asking for more proactive patrols, but with the police department down more than 560 officers, chief bill scott says it's going to take time to get back to adequate staffing levels. >> we have a plan to just try to stay stable. the good news

is our hiring and our applicant pool is up significantly. we anticipate that means bigger academy classes. it's but iting your question. >> reporter: one of the positives is the collaboration with the district attorney's office to prosecute the criminals arrested. some feel the next step may be the need to change some of the laws to make sure people are paying for their crimes. >> we have to remember that the police are charged with enforcing the law, but somebody else wrote that law. and we're the people who elected people to write those laws. so it basically comes down to us. >> reporter: as for the bob lee case, chief scott says they are following several leads, but no arrests have been made yet. >> our team has been working on a very important update on the years long crisis in the tenderloin. the emergency 2021wapposed toa o b llprs to he solve

homelessness and drugs. and wilson walker has an update on where things stand now. >> reporter: there's more work than we can handle out here. i had a woman come and tell me a tent moved from one corner to another. we have to explain to people right now we've got rules we have to work with. >> reporter: surrounded by frustrated residents, fed up business owners, mark is taking on a challenge some might think impossible, working for the city's department of emergency management, he is the tenderloin streets operation manager. and he sees a lot of these streets. >> they are going to go to o'farrell. do a lot of walking, yeah, probably about 50 miles a week. >> reporter: and all of the walking reflects another shift in city strategy. this one driven by the december closure of what debuted as the tenderloin linkage center. >> once the tenderloin center closed, we had to focus 100% on bringing those services to the street. so that's when we just -- we divided the neighborhood into four different areas, and every day we worked that area.

we go through seven days a week. hsh, dph, dpw, we clean up, we offer to get people into shelter. we do wellness checks. if somebody has a place to live already, if they're sheltered, we try to get them back there. >> reporter: sit a slow, day by day, case by case process that often means revisiting the same people in the same tents for months with occasional breakthroughs. >> we had somebody who was -- it was a couple, and we had a couple of navigation center beds in the bayview. >> reporter: then there is the scale of the challenge the a city with an unsheltered homeless population of about 4,400. >> we can't keep up. we can't keep up. there's so much need out here and not enough of us to help. like nobody should have to live like this. and nobody should have to walk through this. you know, this pathway right here kids take to the playground up the street. and i mean, everybody out here doesn't want to be out here. >> occasionally if the police

would catch you nodding out some place or something, they would take you to a navigation center. >> reporter: abe has been in san francisco for about ten years, almost all of it on the street. he says he is seeing more offers for help. >> they just started going out to people for covid. >> you're noticing more outreach? >> yeah. >> reporter: why is he still on the street? it comes down to the available options, and that is something mayza hears just about every day. >> this group is, you know, we experience a lot where they would go inside if they were eligible for what they want. they want hotel rooms, and they don't meet the eligibility requirements. so they want to stay out here. >> it's totally bull -- they want you to throw away your personal property and drop everything and go with them. and go to, like a dorm where they're stacking -- it's like a mental house in there, for real. >> i can't blame people for not wanting to go into a congregate

shelter, that's their decision. >> reporter: and while many parts are difficult, other parts are straight forward. >> many people won't go inside, because this is where they get their drugs. their sickness has kept them to where they're not making decisions you or i would think are the right ones. that's why we try to catch them at the right time when they're ready to do something different. >> reporter: all of the effort is translating into numbers. the city's been placing as many as 300 people, sometimes more, into some type of housing every month. those numbers are quite a bit higher than in years past but not all of the people placed into housing end up staying there. >> we've made some progress, but here's the problem is that what happens out on the street and what keeps people safe gets them kicked out of housing. if you want to stay out here, you need to be scary. you need to be able to yell at people. you need to be loud to keep people away from you. and hoarding and cluttering disorders are a real thing. so unless we're working

on that out here on the street when people go indoors, the things that kept them safe out here get them back out on the street. >> you have a lot of people churning through housing? >> 100%. >> we'll go check and see who's, like, up there and see what we have available. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> reporter: so this work goes on day after day, rain or shine, as the city tries to chip away at this challenge and for exhausted neighbors and business owners. >> i just want people to see how much work is going on out here and how hard people are trying. the tenderloin's going to be the tenderloin, but this is unacceptable. >> so there you go, a lot of churn a lot of people bouncing out, but a lot of people going into housing. what kind of overall difference is that making? well, it's hard to say. remember, we only do our point in time homeless count every two years. the last one was in february of 2022, so it's going to be a while before we know what kind of larger impact this is all making. going to take more time. now, what are we

going to look at next? well, that is policing. you'll remember in 2021, the mayor's announcement got a lot of attention for her promise to bring in more police, and that appears to finally be happening. we'll show you what officers are doing and what kind of difference that is making tomorrow night at 5:00. all right, wilson, thank you so much. along with his report tomorrow at 5:00, you can watch wilson's full special report, troubled tenderloin breaking the cycle, sunday night at 6:30 here on cbs news bay area. don't want to miss that one. he's done tremendous work on # issue. still ahead tonight, a proposed $5 million in reparations to every eligible black resident in san francisco. it's got a lot of support and a lot of criticism. we'll show you both sides. and a south

it is a proposal that's gotten nationwide attention, paying black san francisco adults $5 million each. a city committee is working to figure that out as an answer to slavery and decades of systemic racism. the proposed multimillion dollar reparations payouts guaranteed income and erasing debts. we spoke to a san francisco artist about the impact that reparations could have. >> reporter: mo mcneely was born and raised in san francisco. she grew up in the lakeview neighborhood and now lives in hunters point. >> i love living here in this

neighborhood, even though i'm not from this neighborhood. i'm a longtime resident of this neighborhood. and this neighborhood is a really beautiful neighborhood. >> reporter: mo is an artist. she does everything from clothing design to metal work. >> these are my pieces. i can't wait until i'm able to use them and put them in, like, gallery or something. >> reporter: mo says she's always enjoyed her life in the city but it hasn't been an easy place for her family to live. she says her father first moved out here in the '50s after fighting in world war ii. >> he worked really hard, and despite fighting for this country, he came to san francisco and was red lined. >> reporter: mo says her father was forced to live in the lakeview neighborhood because he was denied housing anywhere else. she told me she's also not sure he received any of the benefits associated with the gi bill. >> because that was something

that a lot of black american veterans were excluded from. that's another generational wealth building tool that they were excluded from. >> reporter: it is those facts and more that could qualify mo and her family to receive reparations from the city. in march, the san francisco board of supervisors accepted a draft plan from the city's african american reparations advisory committee. that plan laid out what type of reparations black san franciscans should receive. it included everything from minimum future salaries, education and health benefits, to even a lump sum payment of $5 million to each person who qualifies. the report made a splash when first published and created a wake of controversy surrounding not only the amount of money being suggested but also how the city could even pay for it. eric mcdonald is the chair of the advisory committee. >> think about it as an

appraisal. so our role was simply to identify the harm and assign the value. our job was not a feasibility study, how do you make all these things happen. that's the role of the city. >> reporter: eric says he believes the city could meet his committee's recommendations and says they are working with supervisors to put some of those recommendations in next year's city budget. it remains unclear exactly what those final reparations will be. the city is still working to finalize the draft plan. mo told me she hopes to one day soon get those reparations, because she truly believes her family deserves them. >> it is a justice claim for all these things. for theft, for segregation and separation, for enslavement, for jim crow laws, for sharecropping, for convict leasing, for mass incarceration, for the war on drugs that was funded by the government. >> reporter: mo told me she

didn't think ahead, it would just make her equal. so what would she do if she actually received that $5 million? >> i will be buying a home here, because the community here is beautiful. >> reporter: while she waits to see if that day ever comes, mo told me she's just going to keep living her life making art and doing what she can to stay in san francisco. >> so the issue has been troerl, as we mentioned. tonight i spoke to former mayoral candidate richie greenberg about why he is firmly against the plan. >> thanks for being here, we appreciate your time. tell me why you feel this is not the appropriate solution. i know you have a lot of thoughn this, but why do this the wrg aner? >> well, complicated issue, actually, but the stof isthat you

have a 15-member committee, actually 14 members, that have worked for a year and a half and what they have done, what they have come up with their draft reparations plan is something that mimics apartheid, that it is segregationist, it is unlawful, it is illegal. it violates numerous laws, the constitution of the state of california, numerous provisions of the united states constitution, the civil rights act, and more. and this is extremely problematic and regardless of what those proponents and those who believe that this is something that is deserving of our african american population of the city, what they have come up with is an unlawful pipe dream that really is not going to go anywhere. and it's a lose, lose, lose situation. any of us that are against this law, i'm sorry, against the

plan that come out publicly and oppose that in any way are going to be labeled as racist and other words that unfortunately is going to be coming out in the media and elsewhere. but also those who are expecting a big payoff, a big money payoff, they're going to be greatly disappointed because it's not something that they're going to get. it's unlawful. it's illegal. and the board of supervisors, city hall leaders, are also going to be made looking really bad because they've promised something that they cannot deliver on. so it is really a tragic plan that has been put forward. and it really is unfortunate. >> all right, richie, thank you so much, we appreciate your time. let's talk a little bit of weather. a chance of rain in the forecast, but this is not going to be an atmospheric river. there is no substantial wind threat associated with this system, just some typical april showers. we've seen showers trying to fall this

evening a lot on the radar here, especially in the east bay. that's ground cluter from the radar site. but the showers trying to move into the north bay have largely been evaporated before ground level. just trace amounts of rain so far. this is actual rain over the pacific, and that is going to move in as we head through tonight. futurecast shows it falling for the morning commute. i would plan on extra time on the drive to work. no flooding potential at all with this system, but it is going to be inconvenient for that morning rush hour. you're going to have to splash your way through puddles. it takes a little water to cause problems, especially on a friday morning commute. showers lingering during the morning friday but beginning to taper off by late morning. and by early afternoon we're going to be down to just some patches of mist and drizzle. very little accumulating rainfall once we get past about noon on friday. but that still means that we could see that mist and drizzle for the giants home opener as they take on the kansas city royals in a rematch of the world series and the futurecast icons do show a few drops here and there leading right up to first pitch. i would dress in

layers because of the cool temperatures and also make sure the outer most layer is something that is waterproof just to be on the safe side. i don't anticipate any delays. i certainly don't anticipate any kind of postponement of the home opener. here's the total rainfall that we expect. in general, a few hundredths of an inch farther inland in the east bay and santa clara valley too. this is the rainiest case scenario. again, not enough to cause any problems, just enough to wet things down and wash a little pollen out of the atmosphere. so let's take the bright side of that. temperatures right now are in the low to mid-50s. those aren't going to change a whole lot as we head through tonight, only dropping to around 50 degrees, thanks to the blanket of clouds overhead. highs tomorrow once we taper off that mist, drizzle a few breaks as well that warm back up to within a couple degrees of 60 on either side of 60 degrees. warmer, dry weather in store for easter weekend. in fact, temperatures easter sunday are the warmest we'll see for a

while. they'll be the warmest we have seen for the past couple weeks. mid to upper 60s around the bay with mid-70s for parts of the east bay. breezier conditions by monday, tuesday, and wednesday bringing temperatures back down to below average by wednesday and thursday. so just enjoy the warmth while it's here, charlie? all right, paul, let's talk some sports. day one of the masters in the books. tiger woods in action this week, but how are his weekend plans looking after 18 holes? plus, if you like home runs, you'll like what's coming up next. a merry-go-round on the base pads for the san francisco giants. just how many did they slug? cue up lebron james, not one, not two, no

"the doctor will see you now." but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

there's a lot of season left to play out, but i think we can come to the conclusion that the giants can hit the ball a long way when they make contact. san francisco leading all of major league baseball right now with 15 home runs. the 2021 record-setting team only had 11 long balls at point. five giants teed off against lance lynn and the white sox. there's michael conforto. his second as a giant. 3-0, sf. blake sable. how about his first career home

run as a big bke tracked down that ball and bribe him with some portillo's. slow pain for white sox fans inning after inning. mike yastrzemski going yard. and these weren't excuse me shots, these were hammered. wilmer flores, two-run shot and for good measures, let's just show you all five. that one came in there at a blazing 61 miles an hour, bases loaded, and j.d. martinez closes the door with the grand slam. giants take their first series 16-6 winners on 20 hits. next up opening day in san francisco tomorrow against the royals. how can you not be romantic about augusta? round one of the masters today. tiger woods struggled with his putter. this birdie putt on 15 an exception. woods tied for 54th at two over. tiger golfed with victor

and it was he who stole the show. a bogey 365. he has a share of the lead. that lead shared with a healthy brooks koepka. nice approach on 15 to reach the par five green in two shots. brooks is also seven under and was the only live golfer to shoot in the 60s. jon rahm also at seven under. started with a four-putt double bogey. then made every hole look like number one at presidio. so i've heard from people, i'm not shooting birdies. here is a look at the leaderboard. koepka, hovlund, and rahm. and scottie scheffler three shots back. warriors/kings tomorrow, the biggest season of the game thus far at this point. the remaining two both going to be the biggest games of the season. could come down to a must win in portland if they do

starbucks workers in sunnyvale say they want a union. nearly two dozen sent a letter to the former starbucks ceo before he stepped down. the workers want better pay and benefits and not face retaliation for organizing. this evening congressman ro khanna showed up to support them. >> they should not be fired. they should not have their hours cut. they should not have their benefits cut. they should not have their schedules changed. they should not have short staff just because they want to vote to decide to be in a union. >> the starbucks founder testified before congress last week after a judge found the company broke labor laws hundreds of times. when the first store campaigned to unionize in buffalo, new york. a college professor said if his students make a viral video, the final's off. and one student
