emergency crews responded. he was pronounced dead at the scene. homicide detectives are collecting evidence and looking for witnesses and video that may have captured what happened. police say it may be a challenge because they believe that some sort of argument or fight happened between 2:00 and 2:30 this morning, when most people were sleeping. >> we believe there might have been somebody who saw some sort of altercation, a disturbance or an exchange between subjects in that area around 2:00 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. we're looking for any witnesses to come forward. >> reporter: police say so far, they don't know where the man was heading or wherer was leaving before he was stabbed. there are homeless people who frequent the park but officers were not able to determine if he was a transient or not. at this point, police have not determined a motive or identified any suspects. the police sergeant says this

is the department's second homicide in two days. they are concerned. detectives have been stretched thin but they are pushing boord forward and are hoping to get to the bottom of this. janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. happening today -- a castro valley man accused of gunning down his wife is due in court on his murder charge. we broke the story yesterday. 45-year-old feng mi surrendered to police after a four-dayman hunt. investigators say the couple's 14-year-old daughter found the body of her mother in their home. she and her 8-year-old sister are in custody. investigators say the couple had a history of domestic violence. the san francisco man accused of trying to run down two police officers is scheduled to be back in court today. jeffrey ruano pleaded not guilty yesterday. she's charged with using his car as a deadly weapon to assault a police officer and possession of ammunition by a

three years. >> reporter: good morning. this is not a done deal, not by a long shot but richmond city council does seem poised to boost the minimum wage by more than $4 an hour over the next three years. as it stands, the minimum wage is $8 an hour. if a plan that was approved last night gets final approval from the council. the minimum wage would incrementally increase to $12.30 an hour by the year 2017. after that it would be tied to increases in the cost of living. last night's vote came after the mayor decided to scrap a plan that would have put this wage hike to a vote on the november ballot. one councilmember told me he thinks the city should take more time to study how this minimum wage increase will impact businesses. there are a number of business owners who say they are on

board. >> everybody needs to make a living and the minimum wage is so low that people are having a hard time and i think that people have to realize, of course, it will cost, you know, more for the merchandise to be purchased. >> reporter: here's how richmond would stack up against other bay area cities if this increase takes effect. right now, san francisco has the highest minimum wage at 150.74 an hour. san jose is just behind that at 10.15. and oakland is at $8. still, richmond's minimum wage hike needs final approval from the city council but many think that should happen during a meeting next month. we're live in richmond, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. before that minimum wage vote things got noisy over another issue. the mater actually halted the meeting and cleared the council

that concern in mind. the program could begin as early as this summer. 8:09. san jose police are revealing more about the investigation into the 9th homicide of the year there. police say someone called 911 monday night, said they found a man shot to death inside of a home on heeling way in the -- eppling way in the coyote creek neighborhood. a source says a substantial marijuana growhouse was found there. a bicyclist was critically injured after a collision with a car in oakland. it happened just before 8:00 last night on mountain boulevard. the cyclist was take ge to the hospital. the police have not released information about the driver or what led up to the crash 8:10. an oakland elementary school expected to be back open. service, water service has been
