inked a deal to give him two cafe spaces in union square. he opened in november of that year and had this to say. >> opened up at 730 this morning. at 740, there was a line outside. >> well, that opening got a bit of pushback because he had been given $440,000 from the office of economic workforce and development to renovate that space, and it was a big chunk of the $2 million fund that was earmarked for revitalizing powell street and filling the storefronts there. he signed a three year deal, but now the announcement comes that he is closing both. so let's go to ktvu. christien kafton joining us live. you've been talking to people all day and people are asking why? why is he closing? >> yeah, there are a lot of questions surrounding this. the city, though, has confirmed that miller and lux has moved on from union square, and now the city is looking to see who can fill these vacant spaces. workers made trips in and out of the miller and lux bakery on the southwest corner of union

square, removing items from the now closed cafe. the miller and lux provisions location across the square has a sign in the window that says it's temporarily closed for repairs and renovations. it's now clear that neither location will reopen. san francisco's recreation and parks department released a statement reading in part, quote. miller and lux stepped into the space with a pop up during a critical time for the area, bringing energy and great food when it was needed most. while they made the decision to move on. we're grateful for their time here and optimistic about the future of these cafe spaces. tyler florence opened the locations in 2023 at the time, saying he signed a three year lease and that he wanted to be a part of the neighborhood's economic recovery. >> we're all in this together to do what we can to bring san francisco back. >> former president of the board of supervisors aaron peskin said he worried about the deal with the department of recreation and parks and the mayor's office of economic and workforce development as it was being made, saying a $440,000 grant to improve the area was intended to fill vacant businesses between

geary and market. he now says he hopes the city takes a valuable lesson from the closure of the celebrity chef's union square locations. >> i hope that the mayor really holds rec and park and the office of economic development accountable and asked the tough questions and gets real answers and structures future leases in a way where folks like tyler florence will be held accountable. >> the office of economic and workforce development said it oversaw the $440,000 grant to expedite the opening of florence's restaurant locations on union square, which were open in time for the 2023 holiday shopping season. the office of economic and workforce development said florence miller and lux locations helped boost business in the area, and that a $2 million grant from the state for improvements to the cafe spaces will continue, and those spaces will be ready for the next tenant. local bakery patisserie stepped in over the chinese new year and nba all-star weekend. the union square alliance thanked tyler florence for stepping in at a critical time, but also said it's already preparing for the next tenant to fill these

locations. >> ppe patisserie came in and enjoyed the wave of nba all star weekend, so we're going to keep that energy moving and keep the location just as hot as it's ever been, so we're excited. >> the rec and parks department has said that the ppe patisserie pop up over the all star weekend was a huge success, and they're looking forward to working with them on a longer term deal. we're live in san francisco. christian captain, ktvu, fox two news. >> and any word christian from tyler florence about this move? >> yes. so we did reach out to tyler florence publicity team. we have not heard back as to a reason for why all this may happen. one of the rumors that we've heard, one of the persistent rumors that we've heard, but it's not yet been confirmed by tyler florence's people, was that they lost one of their bakers. that person was either laid off or was not working with them anymore, and that may have added some hardship to getting the job done. >> okay, we'll continue to watch. thanks so much, christian. well developing news.

a verdict has been reached in a shocking case out of santa cruz county. local media reporting that a jury decided late this afternoon that 25 year-old adrian gonzalez must stay in prison for at least another two years for the 2015 rape and murder of eight year old maddie middleton. gonzalez was 15 years old at the time and confessed to those crimes. he has spent the last decade in juvenile custody. gonzalez petitioned the court under a california law that allows offenders to be released from juvenile custody on their 25th birthday. well, after 35 years, a rape and murder cold case in the east bay has now been solved. officials today named john lipari of oregon as the man who raped and strangled maria jane widenhofer in 1990, in tilden park in contra costa county. she was jogging alone when she was attacked. lipari died of a self-inflicted gunshot last november in oregon. east bay regional park district police detectives say his dna

was found on hoffa's body. lipari became a primary suspect back in 2020. >> holding the person accountable. that took maria from her family. justice may have been delayed, but thanks to the hard work of our detectives and our federal partners. justice has been served. >> in 2017, detectives put out a possible image of the suspect, and investigators determined that he had laid in wait on a bench near the entrance to the tilden park trail before attacking white heifer. so far, he has not been linked to any other crimes. a kaiser permanente patient says he was sexually assaulted during a surgery last year, and now he has filed a lawsuit charging the nonprofit healthcare company with negligence and battery ktvu jana katsuyama spoke with the plaintiff and joins us live now with details. jenna. >> claudine. the patient says that he is upset because he complained three times to kaiser permanente but never got any

answers about the investigation. so he decided to file this 12 page lawsuit. >> i was sexually assaulted and a mohs surgery chair. >> michael timothy been alleges that assault happened when he'd gone to have a melanoma procedure at a kaiser hospital in san rafael in february 2024. he says he was running late. >> i was greeted by the medical assistant. he was kind of ornery. >> bean says the assistant seated him in a surgical chair. >> the surgeon was on one side of me on my left, and this person was on the right side of me. >> the instructions for the delicate surgery on his face were to remain still. >> don't move and don't speak. keep your eyes closed. >> bean says as the surgeon was making the incisions to his face, he felt something on his right arm. >> and then at the same time, on my right side. the medical assistant was thrusting his hip, his hips and his erect #### into

my arm over and over again throughout the entire procedure. >> the lawsuit, filed friday in superior court in alameda, charges kaiser permanente, the doctor and the medical assistant with negligence battery and for kaiser negligent hiring and supervision with a request for a jury trial and financial compensation. >> he went through a period of thinking it was his fault. feeling that he was the victim, he should have stopped it from happening while it was happening. >> bean's attorney says kaiser had received three complaints from his client detailing the incident, but they never responded with a report on any investigation. >> he was told that they would get back to him with answers and a resolution, and then it never happened. >> i want kaiser to improve training. of course, you know, i'm a training professional at uc berkeley and obviously something's up. >> we did reach out to kaiser permanente, and they responded with a statement saying, quote, protecting the safety and well-being of our patients is our utmost priority. in keeping

with this commitment, kaiser permanente does not tolerate any kind of sexual harassment or misconduct within our premises. while we cannot comment on an active legal matter, we want to be absolutely clear that we take any such allegation extremely seriously. bean says that if he does need future surgeries, he is very worried about having to return back to that same hospital. claudine. >> well, jana, any word from the medical assistant named in this case? >> i did try reaching out to that assistant for a comment. so far, though, claudine, we have not received any reply. >> all right. thank you. jenna. well, san francisco's richmond district received its first speed cameras today. the camera was installed at geary boulevard and seventh avenue this morning, and that location was selected due to high crash rates and significant speeding issues. walk san francisco says it worked with traffic victims for six years to pass legislation to approve the cameras. safe streets advocate jenny yu, whose mother was hit by a speeding

driver, says her mother suffered lifelong injuries that could have been lessened had the driver followed the speed limit. >> arresting. you know, based on what we've seen in other states at this really will change the way people look at speeding. when someone is speeding even ten miles more, the impact is so much greater and so many people are speeding so much more than even that. >> 33 intersections in san francisco will eventually get cameras. they are expected to be up and running by next month. well, millions of americans are feeling the pain at the pump. according to aa, the national average today is 3.16. that is up about $0.04 from a month ago. and no surprise here. but when you look at the average price of gas in california, it is much higher than the national average. right now it sits at 4.85. but in parts of the bay area, the average cost has actually surpassed $5 a gallon. right now, if you take a look

just at napa county, your average price is 522. so why is the cost of gas so much higher in the bay area than the rest of the state and the country? well, part of the reason is this last month's fire at the martinez refining company, ktvu tom vacar crunched the numbers and joins us live from alameda with the story and how drivers are reacting. tom. >> well, more and more people are feeling pain at the pump, but that pain happened very, very quickly. and it's a lot more real than you might imagine. the smart money shops at marsh gas in orinda, because a gallon of regular gas here is $0.63 below the bay area average. >> i wait to come to this station specifically, so i could have filled up a few days ago somewhere else, but i'd rather do it here. they're also super nice here. >> the cheap price make good relationship and trust between us and our customers. that's why they keep coming. >> with an average bay area price of $5.12. why do people

love marsh gas and other discounters? look over here. if you pay the credit price, you will save $8.68. if you pay the cash price, you will save a $10 bill. in checking the triple a's seven major bay area regional markets. a gallon of regular grade is $0.52 higher than a year ago. contrast that with los angeles at just 4.79 a gallon, $0.33 cheaper than the bay area, and get this, a penny less than angelinos paid a year ago. last friday, california's division of petroleum market oversight, an independent watchdog agency that oversees the state's petroleum market, issued an advisory over potential gas spikes following the early february fire at the martinez refinery, which cut a lot of the supply and lowered competition which up prices.

>> because they used it as an excuse. it's no reason to raise the price. it's just an excuse. >> corporate greed lining their pockets and not thinking of the everyday citizen that needs to gas up their car and get to places. >> nationwide, the average is 3.16 a gallon. that's $0.12 less than a year ago. and $1.99 a gallon less than the bay area gas prices. bring up the controversial trump card. >> all of the things that the president is talking about, energy will lower the cost of everything. it will be coming down everywhere, including here. hopefully. >> president promised us that he will lower the prices in everything they want. he said they want i will lower the prices on gas, groceries and so disappointed that it's not happening. >> now, the martinez refinery sent out a statement that the refinery will be down for several more weeks, with an

occasional flaring to be expected. and of course, what's happening this spring is for sure. and that is as we switch over to the cleaner blends of gasoline. they're always higher in price anyhow. so a tough sailing ahead. tom vacar ktvu fox two news. >> all right. thanks, tom. yes, certainly. we anticipate that rise in price. thanks so much for that report. >> a 60 year old man kidnaped from a skilled nursing facility. i'm henry lee in novato. a live report still ahead.

skilled nursing facility. a man who could not take care of himself was whisked out by suspects and a nurse was assaulted. our crime reporter henry lee is live in nevada with the details on what happened. henry. >> well, the victim lived at the skilled nursing facility because he could not legally take care of himself. police say he was wheeled out in a wheelchair and kidnaped, and that a nurse tried to stop it all and was attacked. police say a 60 year old man who could not care for himself was kidnaped over the weekend from a skilled nursing facility in novato. >> the suspect entered the facility through a back door, and they did so without checking

in with staff. >> i have learned from court records that the victim is 60 year old dean birx, and that the incident happened at novato health care center, which bills itself as marin county's premier skilled nursing facility. novato police lieutenant alan bates said it happened at about 1130 saturday morning as the suspect snuck the victim out the back of the facility where he lives. >> they then wheeled the patient out the back door and to the parking lot and loaded him into a vehicle. >> marin county sheriff's deputies spotted the vehicle, a honda crv on highway 101, in sausalito. the victim was found inside and taken to a hospital as a precaution. arrested was the driver, 48 year old michael edward roberts, who also allegedly attacked a nurse during the kidnaping, also taking into custody 56 year old paula birx, a relative of the victim, as well as 60 year old laura boyle. all three have been charged by the d.a. with burglary, kidnaping, conspiracy and false imprisonment of an elder or dependent adult, which are felonies. i learned boyle's 38 year old daughter has also been implicated in the case, but she has not been charged. the

four are all from orange county. the victim was considered to be at risk and was under conservatorship, in which a judge had appointed someone to manage his affairs. >> the suspects in this case are known to the patient, to our victim, but they are not the rightful conservators. >> police say the defendants tried to fraudulently obtain conservatorship for financial gain by kidnaping the victim. >> it's important to note that conservatorships are legally binding civil actions, and that trying to circumvent that is inappropriate and potentially illegal. >> authorities say the victim was particularly vulnerable because of his condition, which included cognitive disabilities. >> the fact that a conservatorship was in place tends to lead most people to understand what the patient's state was. >> now, i've reached out to the administrator of this facility, but have yet to heard back. live in novato, henry lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, there's been a flare up at the battery storage plant in monterey county, where a huge fire burned last month. that fire was first reported about

630 last night at the vistra plant in moss landing. county officials say flames ignited under a pile of rubble that had previously burned and quickly intensified. last night, people who live nearby were advised to keep their windows and their doors closed. monterey county officials say the fire burned out at about 8:00 this morning, and advisories were lifted this afternoon. >> residents close by are concerned or they smell smoke. they can if they if they'd like to keep their windows closed. if you must work outside and you smell smoke or you see smoke. and you you may want to wear an n95 respirator. but for now, it looks like the situation is under control. >> the epa says that it has not seen any signs of adverse health effects. the building is now being monitored for any further signs of rekindling. >> a beautiful day a little bit of shower activity this morning, but is there anything better than scattered showers in the sun coming out? and that's what's happened this afternoon.

the sun has come out through much of the bay area after just, you know, light amounts one hundredths, few hundredths of an inch, a 10th of an inch up in the santa cruz mountains. and then, like san francisco, four hundredths of an inch. so just enough to wet the roadways, slow things down as so easy to do here in the bay area. but again, just that really beautiful scene of the sun coming out and kind of evaporating all that moisture that came out this morning. the highs today, pleasant highs tomorrow will be warmer still. we're going to be heading for a warming trend, i think. and that's the big story. i mean the weather take away right now back into the 70s. it's going to be spring like weather as we go into this weekend. for the first time in a while, we're going to find temperatures into the low 70, maybe even mid 70s. further south there will be mid 70s and overnight lows stay mild. not. we're not looking at freeze warnings or freeze advisories, which is sort of unusual for this time of year. so we've got a nice weather pattern set up. beautiful out there. the golden gate bridge american flag out on the right there, blowing an onshore breeze and just very, very mild weather from here on out. and again, the bigger story

to me, besides the warmth, is where's the next rain coming from? because we're not seeing anything in the long range models. it looks as though we're going to be dry potentially through the first part of march, which is like, wow, that's a long time, right? so we'll talk about that. we'll go looking for rain. five day forecast. all that coming up. just a few minutes. >> looking for rain. all right i like it bill. thanks. well, north bay developer just got approved to build the first new marina on the san francisco bay in almost 25 years. kenwood investments in sonoma plans to spend $25 million to build an expanded marina in clipper cove, which separates treasure island and yerba buena island. that new marina will replace aging docks and is designed to accommodate all sizes of vessels. construction is expected to begin next year, with a projected finish in two years.

from takeoff to landing, but emergencies can still occur. pilots and airport management go through special emergency response training, but there are also things that passengers can do to limit injuries. >> wearing our seat belts, making sure our chair is fully up because that will allow a full space to egress if needed. wearing closed toed shoes and also dress for the weather that where you're flying into is great. best practices to do when you're flying. >> aviation experts say if an evacuation does happen, flight attendants may need help from passengers to make sure that everyone does get off safely and quickly. well, governor newsom is proposing millions of dollars in relief to benefit victims of recent natural disasters, and the proposal includes over $125 million for disaster mortgage relief for homeowners whose homes have been damaged or destroyed and who are at risk of foreclosure. it also includes mortgage counseling services to help homeowners navigate the recovery. victims of natural
