police are looking for an oakland teen who was reported missing yesterday. 14-year-old jade williams was last seen monday afternoon near the boys and girls club of oakland on international boulevard. williams is about 5'6", 180 pounds with brown eyes and short brown hair and frequently visited the boys and girls club of oakland. if anyone has any information, you're asked to reach out to police. san francisco police are hoping new video can track down a suspect in a violent attack against a man with cognitive impairments. the suspect seen here yelling at the passenger of a robotaxi and blocking the car from leaving. this video was taken by the victim before that person, the video taker, suffered life-threatening injuries, including a fractured skull. police say the suspect lunged at the victim, causing him to fall before assaulting
11:12 pm
them. if you've seen the man in the video, call police. tomorrow marks 80 years since a massive explosion rocked the bay area and lit up the sky. the blast on july 17th happened at a naval munitions depot known at port chicago. 320 sailors and civilian, mostly african americans, were killed. hundreds more were hurt. in the aftermath, dozens of black sailors were convicted of mutiny for protesting the working conditions that led up to that explosion. and as devin fehely explains, there is a push to reverse those convictions and instead recognize their courage. >> reporter: the stars and stripes, an enduring symbol of freedom and justice, flies over a national memorial in concord, right offshore the remains of a loading pier, the remnants of a cataclysmic explosion. it was here during world war ii where the biggest loss of life on u.s. soil took place. >> the pier was about -- from what a lot of them described -- was about a mile and a half
11:13 pm
away from the barracks. >> we thought it was an earthquake because we live in earthquake country. >> and when the explosion happened that evening, you know, they thought that it was the japanese shooting a torpedo into the ships. >> it blew men through the windows. it blew my dad back into the locker room. >> devastated the barracks and most of the town. >> reporter: the aftermath of the tragedy turned into a defining moment for the bay area, the nation, and the fight for civil rights. >> these men should be recognized as heroes. >> reporter: in 1942 following the attack on pearl harbor, the u.s. navy built a new munitions depot near the small town of port chicago on sissoon bay. it became the largest munitions shipping facility on the west coast. young black sailors who trained for combat roles were sent here. >> my dad wanted to join the military to fight for our country. >> dad enlisted because both of his brothers were in the army
11:14 pm
and he felt that he had an obligation to support and defend his country as well. >> reporter: but instead of serving as sea, the black sailors were assigned the dangerous duty of loading and unloading munitions on to ships. >> they were trained for something else. they went through boot camp, but they did not know they would be loading ammunition. they didn't have a choice. they had to do whatever they were told. >> reporter: the black sailors were supervised by white officers who stressed speed over safety. segregation by race was enforced on and off the base. in san francisco, bars and restaurants wouldn't serve them. on the job -- >> they were not able to go to the bathroom on the same ships that they were loading. they would have to walk a half a mile to go to the bathroom. >> reporter: on the evening of july 17th two explosions five second apart after 10:00 at night demolished two ships and the pier and heavily damaged the town of port chicago. the
11:15 pm
cause is yet unknown. 320 sailors, officers, and civilians died instantly. most were african american. hundreds more were injured. >> there was more than 300 people that were killed and many of them ininrated. >> reporter: the white officers and sailors were sent home on extended leave to recover from the trauma. the black sailors were sent to recover the remains of those who died. here at the golden gate national cemetery 44 unknown sailors are buried. >> my dad used the word carnage to describe what he saw when he went out on to the docks that night, because there were bodty parts everywhere. >> reporter: soon the black sailors were ordered back to work. 258 refused, scared, citing safety concerns. they were all charged with disobeying orders. when threatened with potential execution, most returned to work, except for 50 who were then convicted of mutiny, including cyril shepherd jr. >> he almost fell to the ground
11:16 pm
because he was shocked that his country would even do him -- you know, do that to him. >> reporter: the trial was held at the treasure island naval base in san francisco. all were sentenced to years of hard labor. most were released as soon as the war ended. president truman mandated desegregation for the armed services, but for many the shame remains. >> just wasn't right for african american people to be treated that way. it just wasn't fair and it wasn't right. >> reporter: on the 80th anniversary of the explosion, their families and friends have a singular goal, to exonerate these black sailors and to wipe their records clean. >> this is an injustice that needs to be rectified. >> it needs to happen. >> and i want my children to be proud of what he's done. >> reporter: so we're all a step closer to truth and justice for all. >> later this week the port chicago alliance is hosting port chicago weekend with events across the east bay highlighting the disaster and the civil rights battle that
11:17 pm
follow. all right, let's talk about warmer temperatures in store for us once again, right? >> right, we are heading upward over the next few days, but at least we had a little break from the worst of the heat over the past few days, including today's high temperatures, which only climbed up to around or just above 80 degrees in the warmest parts of the bay area. 80 degrees exactly in livermore, but otherwise a mix of 60s and 70s. while we did get a break from the heat for the bay area, other parts of the country have not been as lucky. in fact, locations very nearby have still been just baking in the same air mass. the heat did not retreat very far from the bay area. so all of these spots at or above 90 degrees. a lot of locations over 100. even 111 for phoenix and las vegas tomorrow. so the heat really didn't go very far away, and now it is going to be building back towards us. the reason for that is what we've been talking about for the past several weeks, a return of the heat dome, which is our phrase for an area of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. the weight of the
11:18 pm
atmosphere presses down on the air at ground complefl compresses it, and that heats it up. it heats it up significantly, but the heat dome isn't building back towards us, it's strengthening. not only are we going to see a return of the heat for inland parts of the bay area but also other parts of the region are going to be heating up to an even greater extent once again. and it's not just the impact on our temperatures that we are talking about. it also is going to have an impact on, well, really the way the overall atmosphere behaves in our neck of the woods. one of the competing influences is the onshore breeze. we're going to see a big contrast between still cool conditions along the coast, warmer conditions around the bay, but then the heat returning to inland parts of the bay area. it has an impact on how the fog behave, compressing the marine layer but without an offshore breeze we're not going to eliminate it entirely. the fog does spread across the bay but then it retreats quickly towards the coast. our temperatures are able to warm up to a greater extent than they have over the
11:19 pm
past couple of days of below normal temperatures. here are those readings for tomorrow, where we're topping out after we start in the mid to upper 50s in the santa clara valley temperatures return to 80s and around 90 in morgan hill. mostly 50s in the east bay, but temperatures climb to the low to mid-90s once again. a couple degrees above average. the beginning steps of that warm-up. along the coast, what warm-up? upper 60s in san francisco and temperatures in the north bay not heating up that much just yet but climbing up into the # 30s after you spent the past couple of days in the 70s, and the warm-up is going to continue. but we're not talking about a return of the extreme heat that we had earlier in the month. instead, we look at the heat risk for one of the hotter spots, antioch, climbs up to the elevated category tomorrow. the warmest day this week on friday we make it to the moderate category. this was at the top of the scale for fourth of july weekend. it's not going to be that bad, but it does look like
11:20 pm
it's going to stick around far while. the six to ten-day outlook from the climate prediction center shows -- our temperatures go up over the next few days, topping out friday. retreating a little bit saturday and sunday. still warm but not as hot. and then climbing back up to closer to 100 degrees inland on a widespread basis by monday and tuesday and probably wednesday and thursday of next week as well. around the bay it'll warm up. it's not going to be hot. temperatures topping out around 80 degrees. monday and tuesday of next week, as i said earlier for the coast, it's a case of what warm-up? you don't lose the onshore breeze. you are going to see more sunshine while the rest of the bay area is heating up. but the warmest areas for coastal communities only getting to the mid-60s to finish this workweek and start off the next one. >> all right, paul, thank you. the ultimate party for people who love to roller skate is happening this week near an iconic san francisco landmark. we sent our kelsi thorud to
11:21 pm
check it out. >> reporter: skate week has officially kicked off here in san francisco, celebrating 45 years of roller skating here in the city. this year's highlight, a new pop-up venue just steps away from the golden gate bridge. christina oberg hasn't roller skated in over 30 years, but tonight she's not letting that stop her from getting out this and having a good time. >> i don't know what i'm really getting myself into, but you know, she's a friend that always takes me on adventures, so i just said, okay, i'll go. >> reporter: christina is just one of the skaters who came out to the presidio for a pop-up skating experience like no other. >> look at this place. this is the number one most recognized icon in the world. all of this beauty and all of this wonder. >> reporter: david miles jr. is the brain behind skate week. he's been hosting skating
11:22 pm
events in the city since 1979 when the golden gate skate patrol was formed in an effort to prevent a roller skating ban in golden gate park. 45 years later he knew he wanted to do something big. >> i kept looking at this building like, wow, this is the kind of building we've been looking for. look, there's no posts, there's a little hole in the side where you can peep in. and i came up, peeked in, my god, this is great. >> reporter: david worked with the city and the presidio trust to convert this old vacant warehouse into a roller rink for the week. dozens of people came out for the opening night, including mayor london breed. each night this week the venue will transform into a different theme. david says the hope is to bring more and more people out to enjoy all the presidio has to offer one lap at a time. it's definitely manager christina says she'll never

11:29 pm
