finding out what is driving those numbers down, crystal. >> well, claudine, this all comes after a shooting near bishop o'dowd high school earlier today. but city officials say crime is down because of their ceasefire program. and while some say that perception is reality, some of the folks i talked to do not feel that much safer. numbers don't lie in the numbers. say crime in oakland is down 33. violent crimes like homicides, assault, rape and burglaries are all coming down over last year, with robberies up by 11. but the city says that number is also decreasing compared to the last few months. city leadership is crediting their ceasefire program, originally implemented in 2012 and revived earlier this year. >> what ceasefire does is it uses police intelligence and community information to identify those at the center of violence who are most at risk of picking up a gun and committing

a violent crime. >> assistant police chief tony jones says reviving ceasefire required them to reorganize the police department from a reactive organization to a proactive, crime fighting police force. the city says the numbers are proof the program works, but some are surprised to hear crime is down. >> i'm very, very surprised and i'm happy to hear that. >> the crime itself, we do see an uptick over the temescal area, where cars are being broken into the sideshows are continuing to happen right next to a fire station to. >> cheryl says she grew up in oakland and she's always carried pepper spray around for protection. >> no, i don't feel safe. i'm constantly watching around. >> others say they are feeling safer. lately. i feel a lot safer here, especially at night compared to san francisco, where it could be a lot more dangerous. >> and i definitely see the change in crime rates dropping. >> the beeping has gone down considerably. >> bridget kane, who owns two businesses in downtown city center, says she thinks things are changing for the better.

layer. we do have some clouds down to 500ft. temperatures where the fog is not affecting it into the 70s. at this hour, a pair of sevens noted in napa and in sonoma. it is now 70 degrees in oakland, alameda, emeryville and in el cerrito. and we do have temperatures in the high 60s around rodeo and also in hercules. look at half moon bay at 52 degrees, mind you, you factor in the wind that is blustery right now at 22mph, it feels like winter on the seashore around that san bruno gap, we have a wind gusts up to 44mph across the bay. hayward at 24. i think you're getting the feel for all this now. it's blustery this evening. the winds in the north bay, anywhere from 21 to 30 mile per hour wind gusts. all this will begin to dial back in the next couple of hours. but then again, we have that fog bank that is forming off the immediate coast. so we'll wake up tomorrow morning to a hint of some stratus. but it's upstream. we go this is the

area of low pressure that we have been tracking for several days. look at all the cold air associated with it. looks like that cotton ball effect. well, the bottom line is it will rain on saturday. so all those makeup baseball games. yeah, they're going to be rained out again. the winds will be blustery. and we do have a winter weather advisory that goes into effect for the greater lake tahoe area. six inches to a foot of snow in the highest elevation. that'll be on saturday. so bringing you back closer to home, it looks like our temperatures will be taken a nosedive. tomorrow's numbers mild to warm, very pleasant spring day and then look at the bottom falling out on your saturday. other notable numbers tonight with the blanket of cloud cover, overhead temperatures pretty much in the 50s across the board. 50 in livermore wouldn't be too surprised. out towards alamo if you dip down to the high 40s. meanwhile, tomorrow's daytime high temperatures, 50s through the 60s, all the way up to about au high 70s. perhaps antioch will strike out at that 80

degree mark, but going for an outside number 79 cooler with the rain on your. saturday, we will recover for cinco de mayo on sunday okay. >> all right. ha

shaun livingston is a three time world champion with the golden state warriors. >> but as ktvu jason appelbaum reports, he's now wearing a new hat as the newest member of the oakland roots ownership group. >> and shaun from the foul line doing it all. >> he was known as the master of the mid-range throughout his 17 year nba career. shaun livingston dominated the competition 10 to 15ft from the basket, and shaun livingston was so efficient he knew they needed some scoring. >> now, livingston will try and dominate in the sport of soccer, joining nba hall of famer jason kidd, nfl legend marshawn lynch and rocker billie joe armstrong of green day, among other celebrities. >> as an investor in the oakland roots and in the community where

the now las vegas resident said he left his heart. >> it's just a special place to be, a special place for any sports teams. obviously it's been a rough couple of years. you know, there, you know, with some of their franchises. but i mean, you look at what the roots and the soul are doing there in the community really being an anchor, you know, to that community and their growing fan base as well. >> it's a fan base. livingston knows very well, winning three titles in his five seasons with the warriors. now at age 38, five years retired, he says he doesn't miss the 82 game grind, but he does miss the playoffs and his former teammates. >> i'm still invested. those are my guys for life and you know, it's pretty painful to you know watch the playoffs without the warriors because it's just it's not the same. >> can the warriors get back to the promised land one more time with the core three still intact? what if it meant trading one of their young players and future draft picks to bring

back, say, kevin durant for another run? >> any time you have a chance to play with a player like kevin durant, it's hard to turn that down. but me personally, you take that shot. you know, if you have a chance to win a championship, if you truly believe that, but i can't speak for those guys. >> one of those guys is steph curry. so what will livingston tell his two young kids about playing alongside one of the best players in nba history? >> honestly, just how much of a good person he was you know like and leader. i mean he's you know a guy that leads by example and he lives his life, his daily life that way. and just even better person than he was a player. it's hard to hard to really say for somebody who's going to go down as one of the greatest of all time. >> as for his new role as minority owner of a pro soccer club, livingston admits he's a newbie to the sport, so he decided to have a little fun testing his soccer knowledge. if i say a clean sheet, a clean sheet, what am i referring to?

>> you're crushing me, i'm going to give you one. all right? i'm gonna give you one. all right. go ahead, go ahead. >> all right, go ahead. clean sheet is when a goalkeeper has a shutou ice. >> o y.
