francisco in a very long time. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. hello, i'm sara donchey. blake was only 26 when he died on the job at a bay area home depot. his mother says he was killed over an item that cost less than $200. now she's facin road blocks in her desperate mission to get the maximum sentence for the person that pulled the trigger. tonight, people gathered for a vigil to celebrate the dreams that blake had for his life and to push fo justice for him. his mother lor testified in front of the house judiciary committee last month. >> and we should be charging th case based on facts and not on personal opinion or agenda. >> she told lawmakers then and our betty yu tonight that the system failed her son.

>> thank you for coming, first. um, i promised myself i wouldn' do this. >> reporter: lori choked back tears as she marked three month since her 26-year-old son blake was killed on the job. police say the home depot loss prevention employee was shot to death at this shore. the woman that allegedly stole a charger for a power tool was arrested for his murder. >> this journey is hard. it's had. it's hard. so today is special for me. it's special because blake always wanted to be a police officer. that was his life goal. >> reporter: several members of the police department showed up for his vigil. blake was a volunteer cadet. he told his mentor was looking to make the transition a week before his murder. he said i'll be startin to send out apps again. i think

i'm finally ready. my sprints are great. i'm still working on cardio, though. >> aisle remember blake and remember thinking i wish i coul clone home. >> reporter: as they hold blake close to their hearts, the mohs family is fighting another battle. pressing the alameda county da to pursue the maximum punishment. blake's story has made its way to capitol hill. lori recently testified during hearing on the rise in organize retail crime and the threat to public safety. >> to the prosecutors in this case, um, i hope they're listening to this. what do you want to see as the outcome? >> it's not fair that we have t be victimized again to fight fo our child and fight for justice and the right things to happen in court. >> reporter: this week i sat down with price, the progressiv da facing an aggressive recall campaign. critics say she's excessively lenient on

criminals. price believes excessive prison time creates racial bias. she refuses to respond to lori's testimony. >> i haven't had a conversation with her, and given the statement she made, i think that's not fair. >> reporter: would you like me to play it for you? would that help? >> no. >> so tonight we're dedicating this bench. >> reporter: as the case moves forward, blake will always have a home at the newark police department, and every day, lori and his father eric find ways t remember him, whether it's wearing a custom jacket with hi favorite movie characters or looking at art. his ashes have been blown into these glass spheres. >> the family is expected to head to court for blake's case at the end of the month. all right, do you remember the chained up walgreens freeze that we showed you here on the show last night? that was the store in richmond. employees said they had to do this to kee

people from steel stealing just about everything in the freezer betty tweeted about this writin that story employees said they're sometimes hit 20 times day at the location. the tweet got the attention of the owner of twitter himself, elon musk. we asked walgreens about the chain, and they told us that retail theft is a top problem nationwide. okay, i don't think i've ever seen thieves try so many things to break in somewhere. this happened at a restaurant i oakland's little saigon neighborhood yesterday morning. you see both of them struggling to open the door with a crowbar that doesn't work, so they go t plan b. they made a kind of battering ram attaching it to the back of the van, slamming that into the restaurant. all that did was break a water pipe so they tried to use a power tool to get through the metal gate. while water was pouring out, that didn't work either so

they went back to using the crowbar. eventually the crowbar ripped off the security gate, and even after tying ropes to the car to try and get in another door, they couldn't get in, so they just drove away. this is a lot of chaos happening in one video. for example, why is that prius speeding away backwards with th driver's side door wide open? good question. last thursday, a delivery driver was picking up an order from square pie guys when someone tried to take off with his prius, but the car was in reverse. two more delivery drivers chased after the car to try and hem. help, one in a car one on a scooter, all while the poor prius ordinary reason was running after his car. the whol thing was caught on camera. >> the crime has gotten out of control! let me tell ya. people

are just robbing individuals right in broad daylight, reversing down the street with the door flipped off. it's wild out here. san francisco, man, w need to clean this whole situation up. >> he's gotten attention before for other viral videos of city life, but he says this one surprised even him. >> when they seen one of their coworkers getting robbed of their car, they had empathy for him and said we'll follow the car until police arrive on the scene. it was hard to decipher what's going on in the video. i feels almost staged. >> one of the craziest carjackings we've seen on camera. another shooting on a bay area freeway to tell u about. up unfortunately a driver was hit on 980 in oakland. the victim drove themselves to the hospital and will be okay. this

comes just days after an eight-year-old boy was caught i a gun battle and is still in grave condition. tonight, the mayor of oakland is getting a raise, but nowhere near as much as she could have gotten before the community pushed back. >> there's nothing wrong with getting a boost. there's nothin wrong with that. but getting something that what has she done? we don't have a chief of police. we don't have a fire chief. we don't have any of that. >> the mayor currently makes about $203,000 a year. the city charter requires that to be reviewed every other year and gave a range for a salary from between 216,000 and $277,000 to , the council voted for a raise for the minimum amount, a 6.5 increase over ten years. still ahead, a car literall flies through a neighborhood an punches a hole into a house.

what police think went wrong there. and thai food is famous for being spicy, but one woman claims a dish at a south bay restaurant was too hot to handle, and now she's filing a lawsuit. and now taylor swift is the mayor of santa clara. kind of. fog is swallowing up downtown san francisco. temperatures today close to what's normal for the middle of july. warm inland and cool at the coast. more coming up in th first alert forecast.

thai food is known for bein hot. in fact, that's what a lot of people love about it. but on woman says this a south bay restaurant's thai food was so spicy, she's suing. she ate at the restaurant in 2021 and ordered spicy chicken balls wit chilis. the suit claimed she asked for it to be mild, saying she couldn't handle spice. she claimed it burned her mouth and tongue, and later led to a diagnosis of internal chemical burns. and the lawsuit isn't just going after the restaurant itself. it's actually going after everyone that had anythin to do with the dish from the cook to the server. the lawsuit claims that the thai bird's eye chili made the dish unfit for human consumption. she's suing for damages in excess of $25,000. we reached out to the restaurant twice, but haven't gotten a response from the owne just yet.

some very shocking video ou of eastern missouri tonight. a car literally goes flying into house. police say the car was traveling at an extremely high rate of speed when it hit an embankment, went airborne, significantly airborne. the driver was killed. amazingly no one in the house was hurt, but there were five people in there including a three-year-old that was sitting on a bed that literally moved across the room on impact. it is the calm before the storm in southern hawaii tonigh as tropical storm calvin approaches. the big island is preparing for several inches of rain and flooding as calvin scrapes by overnight. but the impact could be felt across the whole island chain. the good news here, the storm has weakened as it's moved across the pacific. it was once a category 3 hurricane. obviously that's a big difference from a land falling direct hit

hurricane. >> flooding rains will be the biggest concern, especially wit the terrain of the big island. but usually it's the case the storms weaken as they approach the island chain. >> and one final note, paul is losing his voice tonight, so i have just gladly volunteered to step in and read part of the numbers, the only part i understand. >> the words are in english too we put up on screen. >> this is your forte. >> let's look at the big pictur pattern. back to normal temperatures for now. it's a temporary thing because the hea dome over the desert southwest will be reasserting itself heading towards the end of the work week and into the weekend. enjoy the temperatures in store for tomorrow. we have some smok in the atmosphere. i think that's part of what's impacting my voice. smoke drifting down from the flat fire in southwest oregon down the coast and movin with the on shore winds across the bay area. kind of concentrated in the east bay where i live, thus the voice. i

think we'll see another batch o smoke floating down the coast and potentially deteriorating our air quality late tomorrow. lot of it is elevated atmosphere, but some is dragged down by gravity. we'll watch that tomorrow and again on thursday, but eventually the ai quality will be an issue due to the weight of the atmosphere on top of us as the heat dome builds. into the moderate category by saturday. that's primarily from ground level ozone that builds in the heat events. not as hot as last weekend, but still toasty. the fog swallowing up the buildings in downtown san francisco. temperatures not much vary case between 55 and 62 degrees. not seeing that wider range we had while the warmer temperatures were with us. through tonight, the fog will drift through the inland valleys and is widesprea to start the day tomorrow, but should back up to the coast by midday. you'll have a hard time shaking the fog tomorrow at the coast with gray skies overhead

most of the day. temperatures tonight dropping into the mid t upper 50s to around 60 degrees, which is normal for this time o year. highs also within a few degrees of average for the middle of july. zooming in for closer look before my voice entirely disappears. 60 along the coast. 70s to near 80 on th peninsula. a little farther int the 80s in santa clara valley and the further inland you go. close to 90 in the delta. 60s i both san francisco and oakland. around 80 for most of the north bay until you go much farther inland with temperatures into the upper 80s and even the 90s. temperatures reaching around 70 in san francisco for the warmes days friday and saturday. upper 70s in oakland. not too much of a warming trend there, but hotter temperatures inland. int the 80s in san jose for friday and saturday, and close to 90.

further north into the 90s and close to triple digit territory in the east bay. that's not as hot as last wednesday, but stil toasty. back to near average by early next week. >> that was gritty, that was gutsy! coming up in sports, the a's trying to get their first win in two weeks and the giants win streak still intact after a long and wild day in cincinnati

i have to get your opinion on this because there are some games i feel like would be fun to play in rain, like maybe football or soccer. i guess lik the sliding around. >> baseball is not one. >> baseball doesn't seem like one. >> i'd love on outdoor hockey game in the rain or snow. that seems fun. >> but baseball, no? >> no, as kids we used to put tarps and put soap down and pla like that, but baseball and cla is a bad combination. the giant

finished monday's game and then dealt with more rain. then a high scoring contest that took more from six hours from first pitch to last against the reds. the squad tied at 2 in monday's game resumed this afternoon. still tied in the 10th. pederso lined this one over the left fielder's head. the giants go o to win the completion of monday's game 4-2. that was their sixth win in a row. game two was delayed 90 minutes. at least no grounds crew members got stuck under the tarp tonight. wilmer flores homered in the first, and then ties the game with a three-run shot. his third homer in the last two days. now 7-5 san francisco in the fifth. college park, pleasant hill alum, gives the reds the lead with a three-run blast, his first career hit. th

giant retake the lead in the seventh. san francisco has got an 11-8 lead. doval got the sav in game one. comes back in. cincinnati down a run, but then there's a game ending double play with two on. second save o the day gets him to 30. first pitcher in the lead to do it. giants win their seventh straight 11-10. the a's manager ejected in the first inning against the re sox. noda was thrown out of monday's game and it gave them boost. tonight he leads off the bottom of the second with a sol home run. oakland won 3-0 to snap their eight-game losing streak. the dog days of summer are almost gone, sarah. i know that's exciting because the niners, the rookies reported this week. the full team next week. football season is almost here. >> we had a lull for a minute

where it felt a little dry. >> it was bad, and there was a point last week during the all star break there was no major sports. >> nothing. we were still here talking about it. >> we were doing something, but it was tough. >> thank you, matt. appreciate it. there's so much anticipatio for a concert that one south ba city is actually changing its name while she's in town.

all right, now we want to talk about a story that's reall shocked so many people tonight. a lot of people are talking about this, and it involves one of what many people say is the greatest musical artist of all time. nearly 27 years after rap legend tupac shakur was shot an killed, some sudden and shockin movement in his murder case.

investigators searched a home just outside of las vegas this week. they searched a home in henderson, about 20 miles from the strip where tupac died. the won't say who owns it or what they found, but a former lapd detective believes this could involve a former gang member dwayne davis who boasted about his involvement in the murder for years. >> he talked to our task force in 2009 about his involvement i the murder. you put one develop together and it's pretty sure that this individual dwayne davis is the focus of the investigation in las vegas. >> dwayne davis is now in his late 70s. police have still never filed charges in the case actors and writers have bee out on the picket lines once again today. this, of course, involving the strike. as of

right now, there's no end to it and this is a double strike. sa members say studios are not willing to discuss sharing streaming subscription revenues but studios say they have offered a billion dollars in wage increase, residual increases, and other benefits including protections against a.i., which many have been concerned about in terms of job replacement and other issues. industry insiders expect the strike to last at least in the fall season. >> i'm not against capitalism, but it needs guardrails. >> the union is significant wit 160,000 members. some of whom are a-list actors, but accordin to the u.s. bureau of labor statistics, the average pay for a california actor in 2022 was just under $28 an hour, nowhere near what the big actors are making. and now some think that universal studios is throwing

shade by getting rid of their shade. the la city controller tweeted out the picture of thes bare trees saying they were trimmed right along the street where people have been standing out in the hot sun and picketin in terms of the strike. so here is how the trees looked outside of universal before they were thinned down. obviously that's significant difference. the controller is investigating saying the trees are managed by the city, and a business needs permit to have them trimmed. santa clara will soon be known as swiftieclara for the two days taylor swift is in tow at least. she's bringing her popular eras tour to levi stadium this week. tonight the city council voted to proclaim her the honorary mayor as well. if this sounds familiar, it's because it's been happening all over the place. she's a popular lalady. cities like pittsbururg

glendale m made similar moves. swift will be in santa clara fo two days. and by the way, the tickets have been sold out for months. the cheapest ticket to see her thanks to resellers is $1,100 right now. they say the truth is out there, and tonight researchers at uc berkeley say they have a more reliable way to try and find it. they found a way to filter out the interference fro radio signals to verify a signa they're tracking is actually coming from space, as they're hoping. it turns out that all those radios, all of our cell phone, microwaves, and other devices can lead to false alarms. so et, if you're listening, now is a good time t phone home. this viral ad is 100% not what you think it is, and peopl are

we'll be talking a lot abou soccer or futbol if you want to get technical because the women's world cup is kicking of this week. this is a huge time for me. i watch all the matches i can. very much obsessed. but this soccer ad is going viral online with some calling it the most brilliant ad they've seen. it starts with insane highlight from the french national team. take a look. [ speaking in a global language ] [ speaking in a global language ] >> but then, the ad takes a tur and says you are not actually watching the french men's team. this is edited. bear with us, live tv. but basically what happens is that the ad reveals

that the men's faces were overlaid, and this is the women's team that had all of these fancy and sick goals. the ad was produced by company orange, and it's meant to highlight the disparity and attention that women's soccer can get even though it's quite clear the women's moves can be just as impressive as the men i not more in some cases. we finally got there. >> i always like the women's world cup better. >> honestly, if you've got give it a chance, women's world cup soccer is one of the most exciting events in >> according to "vanity fair," rupert murdoch may have separated from his fiancee ann leslie smith after she said tucker carlson is a messenger from god.
