from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. it's a day before protesters are set to gather to demand justice for 2-year-old jasper wu who was killed in a highway shooting. while millions across the world celebrated easter today, some celebrations looked different this year after fires and the pandemic. >> good evening. i'm brian hackney. >> i'm andrea nakano. we begin with the devastating news out of the south bay. a 5-year-old was killed in a freeway shooting, more on that in a second. but first tomorrow there is a planned protest in front of the alameda county courthouse against a new district attorney, pamela price. demonstrators are upset over the handling of the jasper wu case. the 2-year-old boy was killed on the the

defendants accused of the killing the 2-year-old won't face the appropriate punishment. >> reporter: brenda gresham never met jasper's family, but she feels their pain. she, too, lost her son to gun violence in oakland. a shooting happened near their house and one of the buts struck and killed 17-year-old christopher lavell jones back in 2010. brenda says church is her therapy. >> it's almost 13 years for me and it feels like yesterday. me and my son were very close and for him not to be here is just like a void that's never going to go away. >> reporter: she turned her pain into advocacy and founded the christopher lavell jones foundation. she and members of her organization plan to attend the monday protest. >> we need to support because we all are going through the same thing and we want to make sure they know they have support from bob e is co-organizing the justice for jasper protest. he says after

jasper's family recently met with pamela price, they worry they won't get justice. >> they're very concerned that the killers of jes wu will get out without any jail time whatsoever. >> reporter: the district attorney has refused our multiple requests for interviews in recent months. she recently arrested a video saying she will hold the people who killed jesper accountable. >> there's nothing our system can do that will remove the pain of losing their child, nothing. >> reporter: the d.a. ordered her office to stop using gang and other enhancements to extend prison time unless they get approval from a supervisor. investigators say jasper was killed by a rolling bullet between gun members. >> our children will not be safe. even our grandchildren will not be safe. we can't stand for. that pamela price, do your job. >> reporter: protesters point to the plea deal with lockwood,

15 years in prison in a case where he's accused of killing three people. >> 15 years is like a slap in e face, yr the life a person that didn't have a say-so? >> reporter: the protest will happen monday at noon in front of the alameda county courthouse on fallon street. back to our other top story, chp responded to the scene of a 5-year-old that was in a shooting on 880 near the dixon landing exit right near the border between milpitas and fremont. >> we just learned the identity of that child who was killed has now been released. betty yu has those details. >> reporter: the alameda county coroner's office identified the 5-year-old victim as eliyanah crisostonio. no suspects have been identified and the chp is trying to determine what led to the shooting. i smoke to the organizer of the online fundraiser for the victim who said she was headed to a family

birthday dinner saturday evening when she was struck. the milpitas fire department was first to respond to the scene. chp said the 5-year-old was shot and killed around 7 p.m. saturday while riding in a car on the southbound lanes of 880. authorities responded near dixon landing road. chp said the little girl's parents were in the car but were not injured in the shooting. it's believed to have happened further north on southbound 880 near or in fremont. eliyanah was described as a fun loving little girl who loved life and was excited to celebrate easter according to the online fundraiser. the victim was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. eliyanah would have turned 6 years old next friday. we expect more information monday morning. meanwhile a woman in san jose is in critical condition after being hit by a car. it happened just before 12:30 this afternoon at the intersection of 11th and east santa clara streets near san jose state. police say the victim is now

stabilized in the hospital but in critical condition. the driver stayed around and is cooperating with the investigation. tomorrow morning officials will evict the remaining unhoused residents at oakland's wood street encampment. the residents have been ttngn court with the city since december, but recently a federal judge ruled that they are allowed to move forward with the evictions. temporary housing is being offered, but some say it's a very flawed system. >> the place that they have open for people to go to have some i think outrageous requirements. they're busy telling you you have to get rid of everything that you do have to be able to go into one of these places. >> the city says evictions will start at 9:00 in the morning. covid restrictions are lifted this easter sunday which means more people are returning to in-person suspect wases like at grace cathedral here in san francisco, but as devin fehely shows us, some pastors say the

congregations are still recovering, even three years later. >> reporter: for the better part of the year during the worst part of the pandemic, father antonio sylvia's daily sermons echoed off empty pews in an empty church. pastor and parishioners kept separate for the safety of their bodies, but perhaps to the detriment of their spirits. >> i see a stronger faith in the people who come to our services on a daily basis and weekends as well. >> reporter: the congregation at san jose's church is back in the pews worshiping again in person, but the pandemic was a test of faith. the church live

streamed their services on social media. technology helped bridge the divide, created by stay-at-home orders. >> when they could not gather inside the church, we gather in the church courtyard, as you remember, spread from one another and we kept live streaming our services. >> reporter: there are no public health restrictions governing how people will celebrate the easter holiday this weekend. >> we're mindful, lord, of the people that are out here. >> reporter: the practice of fat was challenged and changed by the pandemic nonetheless. >> i miss that comradery, that human interaction. i miss that a lot. >> reporter: scott wagers is a pastor and homeless advocate. during the pandemic he gave up in-person services focusing his attention instead to ministering to the city's most vulnerable, the men and well living on the street. >> it really had a profound impact i think on a lot of people of faith because a church like ours depends on interaction, closeness, prayer in person. >> reporter: the celebration of easter is one of renewal and

rebirth and this year it may also be the story of the evolution of faith in a post pandemic world. a big easter celebration at salesforce park this afternoon, hundreds of kids came out for an egg hunt. many say they were there mainly looking for chocolate and stickers. there were also special appearances by the easter bunny. the day also included live music, face painting and other games, but the most competitive event was that easter egg hunt. some professionals talked about their egg hunting strategies. >> try to find a good like spot where like no one is really there so you can like get all of them. >> stay the closest to where you see a bunch of eggs. >> similar scenes in santa clara county, gilroy gardens hosting its first ever

springtime easter celebration. lots of people came out to enjoy the warm weather, the rides, and the entertainment. in general, it was a fairly perfect easter weekend. temperatures finally climbed into the 70s the first time in months, so people were out soaking up the sun. tourists were packing fisherman's wharf and pier 39. here's an impartial evaluation. >> oh, man, it was beautiful. it felt like summer at the ballpark today. >> enjoying the views of the city, the spring flowers that are all in bloom. >> i'm going to keep playing until the sun comes down. every time every day we're outside. >> you should have known it was going to be a great day weatherwise because april 9th lines up perfectly with the san francisco hinge. if you've never heard of that, join the club. darren peck is here to explain this phenomenon. >> a play on stonehenge. dozens of people lined up on the top of the hill on california street to look east yesterday morning for the sunrise. for

this perfect alignment of the sun between the buildings and right over the bay bridge, in fact, let's play that back because it's not just that it came up between the buildings. it's that for yesterday morning and this morning, this is one of two times through the year where the sun lines up perfectly like that and this has become a thing now for people. you can see all the people sitting on the hill there. if you misses your chance, if this looks like something you'd want to see, you'll get another chance in september. the only reason we get that is because of a quirky alignment of san francisco streets. the sun comes up in the east. everybody knows that. in terms of where that falls on a compass, that should be 90 degrees. if north is zero, exactly east is 90 degrees, but you only get a sunrise at 90 degrees east from your perspective on the equinox, which happened several weeks ago on march 20th. our streets are not perfectly aligned north/south. take a look at van ness and you can see california here. we're tilted. so if we tilt our perspective a little,

california is actually angled 80 degrees. california street is angled 80 degrees. let's put that right on the line. since we're a couple weeks past the equinox, the sun does not rise at exactly 90 degrees anymore. it's shifted farther north, as it does as we head into summer. now from your perspective, you don't look directly east at 90. you've got to look directly east at 80 and that's where the sun's going to come up and that's exactly the way our city grid is aligned thanks to a quirk in the way the streets are laid out. if you missed your chance this morning, you'll get another one to see this show because we'll do it again when the sun comes back to 80 degrees on september 3rd and 4th and then you can get your california henge. we had incredible weather today, well above average. it won't last all week. i'll show you why coming up in the complete first alert forecast. >> pretty cool stuff, darren. we'll also look at the growing avalanche dangers across multiple states, including in the sierra.

we'll meet

well, avalanche dangers have locked down ski resorts across a number of states caused by deep snowbanks mixed with rising spring temperatures. >> the worst of it is in utah

where crews spent the last few days digging out of multiple recent avalanches, only recently able to reopen the road to the little cottonwood canyon resort. guests and workers were stranded for days. >> pretty sketchy just driving up to work kind of holding your breath hoping you get up here. >> i've been in the canyon 40 years now and i've never seen an extended avalanche closure like this. we're dealing with spring wet slides as opposed to winter cold slides, which can be almost as damaging. >> there are similar concerns for the sierra. some are trying to remove the massive build-up of snow before it all starts to melt. well, that's all caused by warmer temperatures which, of course, andrea is a fan of and she'd like more of this, if you don't mind. >> yes. >> you shall have it. >> great. >> next weekend we'll be back here, but as nice as it was today, we aren't keeping that all week. there's a cooldown, some wind. we aren't quite done

with the pacific trying to throw us some curve balls. it's not going to be rain, but it's not like we kind of hit our stride today, 76 in santa rosa and concord, 75 in livermore. we showed you and shared with you what some of the folks had to say who were out at oracle park today and all around. wherever you were in the bay, you noticed this. this was the first time we got into the mid-70s since late october last year and it happened fast because yesterday it was mid- to upper 60s. it was a nice weekend all around, but today definitely stood out. we'll get more of it next weekend. tomorrow's going to be close to this actually, but after that there's a little cooldown. current numbers are already in the mid- to upper 50s. watch this system right here. we aren't getting rain from that. it's going to break this pattern. that's looking ahead

to monday. there's another one behind it, same story. we don't get the rain. we'll play this back again. we'll look at the wind, which we'll get. that will kind of help us visualize where the cold front is because now you can see it. that's tomorrow evening. weak cold front right there. that slides through the bay as we get into tuesday morning. the breeze will pick up, cooler air filtering in. tuesday will be cooler and breezy and wednesday the next one comes down and that one really intensifies the northerly winds along the coast. that's where things will get pretty windy. on futurecast you can see how the screen lights up here for tuesday. those are the winds on the coast at 40 miles an hour. wednesday it does it again. you'll see the screen light up again. national weather service may have to put wind advisories out for that along the coast, not to mention just watching the cold air invection. the deeper the shade of blue shows you in the mid-and upper levels of the atmosphere how we'll be importing cooler air, but not tomorrow. tomorrow we start out

around 50 for the morning low, 45 in the north bay. we look at daytime highs tomorrow and here today. these are a degree or two cooler. i don't think you'll notice much difference. technically today was the warmest. as we look across the seven-day forecast, you can see the change does start to set in noticeably by tuesday. san jose on this first image shows it best. you're 75 tomorrow, 67 tuesday and then back down into the mid-60s by wednesday. mid-70s come back next weekend. when we look at the microclimates, we see the same story. you don't have to cool down that much in the north bay and inland valleys for the east bay, you only go down to the mid-60s and right back up to the mid-70s again. guys, back over to you. >> thank you, darren. after the break, the recent ruling on access to the abortion pill is causing a divide even within the democratic and republican parties, both sides trying to rein in the more radical wings of their party. what got into the warriors

today? >> with the right hand, oh, goodness gracious. the giants gave the fans a show and a new guy had a hand in it. >> it is out of here! and the masters has a new champion. that's not him, those sports stories and would you like to meet matt damon? all ahead on gameday at the bottom of the hour. test test
