>> this is ktvu, fox two news at 730. >> and good evening, everyone. i'm heather holmes. we begin tonight in east oakland where neighbors have banded together to beef up security after a tragedy last summer. crystal bailey joining us now live from the newsroom with more on this community effort to try to curb crime. crystal >> well, it's all about neighbors helping neighbors with cameras typically placed on busy street corners, protecting homes and supporting law enforcement in the quiet community of maxwell park in east oakland, neighbors are tight knit. and in june of 2023, when 60 year-old david schneider was senselessly shot while trimming trees in his front yard, neighbors came to his aid while he was dying and gathered security footage for investigators. in what oakland police originally thought might have been an attempted robbery. >> it just really, struck the whole community. it activated us. we felt, you know, upset and scared. and so we all came together to try and think about

how we could, make this community safer. >> it's no secret oakland police are overwhelmed. so the maxwell park neighborhood action team took it into their own hands and started working on problems like traffic improvement, lighting up dark streets and adding cameras to deter criminals. >> we're worried that these crimes are going to be committed, and then that nobody will be held accountable for the actions. >> nathan green recently began a fundraiser to raise money for families who could not buy a camera of their own crowd, sourcing the funds from other neighbors, cameras that face the street so that if a car is being used in a crime elsewhere, that we can maybe help law enforcement. diane cheatham allen says she's lived in the neighborhood for 45 years. >> we do look out for each other and we have for a very long time. >> and she has a camera on her own house, but she's happy to hear more families will have access to security. >> i think cameras would allow us to know what is going on. >> although oakland's latest

data shows the overall crime rates are down over last year in the maxwell park area, home robberies are up 300% in parts of the neighborhood. this community is focused on solving these crimes together by monitoring the streets. >> we've identified several families who are interested in getting the cameras who couldn't otherwise afford it. >> the neighborhood has raised about $1,400, and they will continue to raise money to serve as many families as possible. they're also considering private security after they say there were two more home break-ins today. meanwhile, oakland police were unable to provide any update on where they are in the investigation of schneider's shooting. as far as we know, no arrests have been made. >> heather. yeah, nice to see, though. those neighbors coming together and looking after one another. all right. crystal bailey reporting live for us. thank you. an idaho sheriff's deputy from right here in the bay area who was shot and killed in the line of duty, was remembered today at his home church in walnut creek. hundreds gathered at north creek church to watch a live stream of the

memorial service for tobin boulter, taking place today in idaho before moving to idaho, he and his wife abby attended the church and she worked for the school. boulter was a cadet in the walnut creek police department, and went on to be an officer with pleasant hill police. >> we wanted to have an opportunity to bring the community together here at our church. those who are not able to go up to idaho to be in person, be able to watch here together in solidarity, to support the family. the boulter family, tobin and abby grew up here. they were married here. both of their families still attend here, and so this has been very impactful. >> during the ceremony, the ada county sheriff presented the family with a purple heart. deputy boulter was just 27 years old. the santa clara county registrar voters tonight says that it has completed its recount in the district 16 race for anna su's congressional seat , and the initial results had sam liccardo in first place,

with evan lowe and joe simitian tied for second. all three would have moved on to the general election. santa clara county, though, announcing today the recount resulted in lowe receiving an additional 11 votes and simitian gaining seven votes. if these results were to stand, will lowe would move on to face liccardo in november. >> this is separated by four votes. now you know what i mean. so even if it's like a tiny, tiny part of the entire cast of ballots, it still has a big impact on every single part of the process. so it's important for people to make sure they don't just register. they actually go vote to okay. >> so that's the situation in santa clara county. as of last week in san mateo county, which is also part of district 16, it is working with the u.s. postal service and has other partners to resolve the status of 16 ballots in that county. still in envelopes. so stay tuned. all right. pro-palestinian protests are now affecting about two dozen college universities all across the country. one of them

at cal poly humboldt, was broken up by police officers overnight, some of whom traveled north from the bay area to provide mutual aid. humboldt county put out a call yesterday for help looking for mutual aid from law enforcement partners up. san francisco police sent ten officers, as well as a sergeant from the san francisco sheriff's office also sent four deputies, saying law enforcement from the city have experience with mass protests. >> san francisco, we do get a lot of opportunities or numerous opportunities to work with mass arrest, when they come up, as always, we try to give everybody the freedom to express their first amendment rights. we only get involved if disruptive or activities or crimes occur. >> in total, 25 people were arrested on that campus. they face a variety of charges, including unlawful assembly, vandalism and assault on a police officer. new. at 730 tonight, we're getting new

details on the latest round of layoffs announced by bay area based google. the tech giant says it will cut 50 jobs at three different sunnyvale offices. the layoffs will take effect in mid june. all of the affected employees receive 60 day notices and can apply for other open positions in the company. these job cuts come after google announced in january it would lay off more than 700 employees. now we go to san rafael tonight, where a field there used for decades for little league games could soon be up for sale, ktvu tom vacar tells us. families are worried now about the future of what they consider an asset to that community. you want me to. >> on 31230. >> las colinas field is one of four land parcels that the san rafael city schools has determined is surplus land that it could lease or sell nonprofits, and public agencies have until may 30th to express their interest or offers to get it at a public interest discount

. >> that's why we did a voluntary, notice of priority offering to nonprofits and public agencies to give those folks an opportunity to reach out to us. >> if no deal is made by the end of august, the board could then offer the property to the general real estate market. that is upsetting to the little league, its players, parents, grandparents who all volunteer to maintain it. >> we would love that opportunity to preserve this space long term, even if it's not going to be used for a school site. >> the possible change is also upsetting to a neighbor we met while he was walking his dog on the property, a huge asset to the community here. >> the baseball field is used almost every day during the spring and summer. >> also on the property, there's a daycare center school for a widely diverse community. >> the school, allows low income families that have kids to bring

their kids here. so that they can work. >> the board is well aware of the importance of that property to the community. >> no decision has been made, but eight acres of land in marin is extremely valuable. should the board decide to cash in or get higher paying tenants, they could do nothing, right? >> that's a totally acceptable outcome of this is to go with status quo. so this is the field that the older kids play at, and we should be looking at our next generation and generations to come. >> we have a huge variety of ethnic religion moms, dads, kids. we welcome everybody here. everybody meets everybody. they hang out after the game's over. >> now, some people may think this is a tempest over a little tiny baseball field in a suburb that really doesn't have much to do with them. but like all these little baseball fields for generations, they truly have been fields of dreams. tom vacar , ktvu, fox two news.

been acknowledged that marijuana was inappropriately scheduled in schedule one initially 50 years ago, and that's been part of what has spurred, i think, the dramatic policy shift among states to move in a different direction. >> the dea s proposal would not legalize marijuana outright for recreational use. this proposal also still needs to be reviewed by the white house office of management and budget. some have raised objections to keeping the drug schedule at all, including east bay congresswoman barbara lee, who is co-chair of the congressional cannabis caucus. she said, quote, cannabis must be fully de-scheduled in order to end the war on drugs and repair harm to communities of color. all right. i hope you had a chance to get out there and enjoy today's terrific weather on this tuesday, mark, because it was it was really nice kind of setting up a nice pattern for the rest of the week. >> it's looking okay. yeah. we're going to turn up the heat a little bit tomorrow. and you would think there's no way he

thursday, we're watching this system move in later in the week , and by saturday we will bump up those rain chances across the bay area and definitely a significant cooldown with those temperatures. so here's the forecast model for tomorrow and then into thursday. fairly quiet. then on friday it's still dry, but you can see this rain band up to our north and we'll be watching out for that to approach the bay area as we head towards saturday. highs for tomorrow will be in the 70s across most neighborhoods and the warmest locations touching the 80 degree mark. it's a nice forecast on thursday. partly sunny for your friday. we're going to bump up those shower chances by saturday with partly sunny skies by sunday. so warm to cool. it's all happening in this five day forecast. >> okay, i'm going to enjoy the warm weather while i can. thanks, mark. i knew at 730 tonight pacifica's annual dog surfing contest will go on this year thanks to some generous donors, organizers thought they may have to cancel the event due to rising costs for permits and fees, so they put out a call to the community and raised
