WELL, NEW THIS MORNING, THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE AND THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL ARE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR FIVE JUVENILES WHO CRASHED A STOLEN CAR. IT HAPPENED ALONG SUMMER SUNSET DRIVE NEAR POWER IN ROAD WHEN OFFICERS GOT THERE, THEY FOUND THIS CAR HAD CRASHED INTO THE SIDEWALK IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. NEIGHBOR TOLD THEM THEY SAW FIVE MINORS GET OUT OF THAT CAR AND RUN AWAY. THE CALL ORIGINALLY WAS REPORTED AS SOMEBODY DRIVING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ATTEMPTING TO BREAK INTO OTHER CARS, BUT OFFICERS COULD NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF THAT. DEPUTIES CONFIRMED THE CAR THAT THEY WERE DRIVING WAS, IN FACT, STOLEN. AND THEY ARE WORKING THIS MORNING TO TRACK DOWN THE ORIGINAL OWNER. ONE PERSON HAS DIED AFTER BEING HIT BY A CAR EARLY TODAY. THIS HAPPENED NEAR THE MACK ROAD ROAD OFF RAMP ALONG SOUTHBOUND HIGHWAY 99. CALL CAME IN JUST BEFORE 3:00 THIS MORNING. THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS THE DRIVER IS A 22 YEAR OLD MAN AND THEY SAY HE REMAINED ON THE SCENE AND DID FULLY COOPERATE WITH INVESTIGATORS. OFFICERS BELIEVE THAT THE PERSON WHO WAS HIT WAS HOMELESS. WHILE THE SCENE IS CLEAR THIS MORNING FOLLOWING A STANDOFF AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IN SACRAMENTO HAPPENED AT THE MEADOW GLEN APARTMENTS NEAR MEADOW VIEW ROAD AND 24TH STREET. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE SCENE FROM LAST NIGHT AROUND 11:30 P.M. OUR CREWS ON SCENE HEARD POLICE TAKING A MEGAPHONE TRYING TO GET SOMEBODY TO SURRENDER. SOME MEMBERS OF THE SWAT TEAM WERE THERE WITH TACTICAL GEAR. AS SOON AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION ON THIS, WE’LL PASS IT ALONG. HAPPENING TODAY, PLACER COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO VOICE THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE PLACING OF A SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATOR BACK ON THEIR STREETS. KCRA 3’S ERIN HEFT JOINS US LIVE NOW FROM THE NEWSROOM WITH MORE ON THIS. GOOD MORNING. A STRONG REACTION IN PLACER COUNTY AS THE PLACEMENT OF A MAN NAMED WILLIAM STEVENSON COMES UP FOR DISCUSSION. EARLIER THIS MONTH, A JUDGE GRANTED STEVENSON’S RELEASE AS A TRANSIENT WITHIN PLACER COUNTY. THE HEALTH PROVIDER IN CHARGE OF FINDING HIM HOUSING, SAID THEY PLAN TO PLACE HIM IN AN RV, BUT THAT HASN’T SAT WELL WITH MANY. PLACER COUNTY SHERIFFS DESCRIBED STEVENSON AS A SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATOR WHO SPENT APPROXIMATELY THREE DECADES IN STATE PRISON. THEY GO ON TO SAY HE WAS RELEASED BACK IN 2014 AND THEN ARRESTED AGAIN IN 2017 FOR POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. RIGHT NOW, HE’S STILL IN TREATMENT AT THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE HOSPITALS TODAY, THE PLACER COUNTY DA’S OFFICE WILL OPEN A CASE PORTAL TO RECEIVE LETTERS FROM THE COMMUNITY ON THEIR FEEDBACK, LETTERS OF OPPOSITION AND FOR THE COMMUNITY TO RECEIVE CASE UPDATES. STEVENS HEARING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 1ST AT 830. IN THE MORNING IN AUBURN. DEIRDRE ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, ERIN. ALSO GOING ON TODAY, THE COMPETENCY TRIAL OF A FORMER UC DAVIS STUDENT SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP THE FIRST WEEK. CARLOS DOMINGUEZ IS ACCUSED OF STABBING THREE PEOPLE IN DAVIS AND KILLING TWO OF THEM. JURORS HEARD FROM DOCTORS AND COURT YESTERDAY AND THEY’RE DECIDING IF DOMINGUEZ, WHO IS CHARGED WITH MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDER, IS MENTALLY COMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL. DOCTOR JULIANNA ROHRER IS A PSYCHOLOGY BASED WHO IS APPOINTED BY THE COURT IN MAY TO EVALUATE HIM. SHE IS THE ONLY DOCTOR WHO IS SPECIFICALLY TESTED HIM. DOCTOR ROHRER CALLED DOMINGUEZ A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA FOR PEOPLE WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA CAN BE COMPETENT. BUT SHE SAYS THAT’S NOT THE CASE FOR DOMINGUEZ. PROSECUTORS POINTED TO SOME DISCREPANCIES AS SHE TESTIFIED AS AN EXPERT FOR THE DEFENSE, IT WAS YOUR OPINION THAT MR. DOMINGUEZ MAY HAVE THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO CONDUCT HIS OWN DEFENSE. HOWEVER, HE COULD USE SOME TRAINING ON THE COURT PROCESS THROUGH YOUR WORDS, CORRECT. THOSE ARE MY WORDS. I THINK THAT I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T HAVE USED THE WORD. MAY I THINK I SHOULD HAVE USED MIGHT THERE AND THE DOCTOR DID REVIEW ANOTHER DOCTOR SUPPORT AND BELIEVES THAT HIS MENTAL STATE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. NOW, AFTER TODAY, THE JURY WILL BE ON BREAK NEXT WEEK BEFORE RETURNING TO THE COURTROOM THE WEEK AFTER. WELL, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FACING NEW CHARGES. IT BUILDS ON THE GRAND JURY INDICTMENT FROM LAST MONTH, ALLEGING TRUMP REFUSED TO TURN OVER SENSITIVE GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS AFTER LEAVING OFFICE. MIKE CHERRY JOINS US NOW IN STUDIO WITH A LOOK AT THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE. MIKE. YEAH, THE FORMER PRESIDENT NOW FACING TWO ADDITIONAL CHARGES. ONE COUNT OF WILLFUL RETENTION OF NATIONAL DEFENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS AN OBSTRUCTION COUNT. NOW, TRUMP CAMPAIGN OF DIRECTING STAFF TO DELETE SECURITY FOOTAGE AT HIS FLORIDA HOME, WHICH FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SAY WAS AN EFFORT TO OBSTRUCT THEIR CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, INVESTIGATION. THE UPDATED INDICTMENT, RELEASED ON THURSDAY, ADDS THE NEW CHARGES AND A NEW DEFENDANT IN THE CASE. IT ZEROES IN ON THE PROPERTY MANAGER AT TRUMP’S MAR A LAGO ESTATE AS A SECOND COCONSPIRATOR. HE’S ACCUSED OF HELPING THE FORMER PRESIDENT ILLEGALLY HOARD GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS MARKED TOP SECRET. NOW THE INDICTMENT ALSO STATES. OLIVERA TOLD ANOTHER EMPLOYEE THAT THE BOSS WANTED THE SECURITY VIDEO SERVER DELETED. THE ONLY WAY THAT INDICTMENT IS AS DETAILED AND RECOUNTING THOSE INTERACTIONS IS IF A PARTY TO THOSE COMMUNICATIONS IS COOPERATING. NOW, IN A STATEMENT, THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN DID SAY, QUOTE, THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A CONTINUED DESPERATE AND FLAILING ATTEMPT BY THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY AND THEIR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO HARASS PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THOSE AROUND HIM. NOW, SOME ARE SPECULATING THAT THIS REVISED INDICTMENT WILL DELAY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. THE SPECIAL COUNSEL WILL SEEK TO MAINTAIN THAT TRIAL DATE RECENTLY SET FOR MAY 20TH OF 2024, AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WHERE TRUMP REMAINS THE REPUBLICAN FRONTRUNNER. DEIRDRE, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MIKE. CREWS WERE ABLE TO PROTECT THREE HOMES FROM A FIRE IN EL DORADO HILLS. THIS ONE STARTED AFTER SOME VEGETATION BEHIND THE HOMES ON PLATT CIRCLE LAST NIGHT STARTED THE FLAMES EVEN BURNED THE DECK OF ONE OF THOSE HOMES. FIRE CREWS DID STOP IT, HOWEVER, BEFORE IT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE HOMES. THE CAUSE RIGHT NOW IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. WELL, CITY-OWNED OPEN SPACES IN FOLSOM ARE NOW CLOSED. THIS IS DUE TO HIGH FIRE RISK LIVECOPTER3 WAS UP AND OVER THE CITY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. PUBLIC TRAILS, BIKE PATHS AND PARKS DO REMAIN OPEN. IF YOU’RE NOT SURE WHAT’S CLOSED. CLOSED AREAS ARE VERY CLEARLY MARKED WITH SIGNS. IF YOU’RE IN A CLOSED AREA, YOU COULD BE ASKED TO LEAVE. WELL, MORE THAN $113 MILLION DOLLARS WILL BE GOING TO PROJECTS ACROSS THE STATE TO HELP PROTECT UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES FROM WILDFIRES. THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE ANNOUNCED THAT FUNDING AND 96 PROJECTS ARE GOING TO SPLIT THE MONEY. NOW, SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE IN NINE COUNTIES IN OUR AREA. THEY’RE HIGHLIGHTED THERE IN RED. THE PROJECT ARE GOING TO BE TRYING TO IMPROVE DEFENSIBLE SPACE AROUND THE HOMES, REDUCE OVERGROWN VEGETATION AND IMPROVE EVACUATION ROUTES IN RURAL COMMUNITIES AND SOME OTHER INITIATIVES. WELL, THERE’S RENEWED HOPE THAT THE DREAM OF A NEW SOCCER STADIUM AND A MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER TEAM IN SACRAMENTO COULD STILL HAPPEN. AND THAT IS BECAUSE A NEW INVESTOR IS REVIVING THE TALKS. IF FINANCIALLY CONVINCED THE MLS TO REWARD SACRAMENTO WITH AN MLS FRANCHISE, MIKE TESELLE IS LIVE AT THE RAIL YARDS THIS MORNING IN SACRAMENTO WITH WHAT KCRA 3 HAS LEARNED ABOUT THE NEW INVESTOR AND A POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT NEW STADIUM. MIKE. YEAH. ANTONIO YOU KNOW, TALK OF A POTENTIAL BIG INVESTOR COMING IN AND POSSIBLY HELPING SACRAMENTO CONVINCE MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER TO AWARD A TEAM HERE THAT’S NOT ANYTHING NEW. WHAT’S NEW IS BECAUSE WE’VE KNOWN THAT FOR THE LAST 16 MONTHS IS THIS TAKE A LOOK. WE CAN NOW PUT A FACE TO THIS LATEST INVESTOR. HER NAME IS BELINDA STRONACH AND SHE’S PART OF THE STRONACH INVESTMENT GROUP. SHE’S A CANADIAN BUSINESSWOMAN WITH A DEEP HISTORY OF OWNING HORSE RACING VENUES AND EVEN SERVED AS A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. KCRA 3’S MICHELLE DAPPER TALKED TO THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE SAC REPUBLIC ABOUT THIS REVIVED HOPE YESTERDAY. WE ALSO SPOKE WITH THE MAYOR ABOUT WHY THINGS HAVE BEEN SO QUIET RECENTLY ABOUT WHERE THINGS WERE GOING AND WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS THIS INVESTOR. LISTEN, IF THIS DOES NOT WORK, WE ALREADY ACTUALLY HAVE SOME PARTNERS. IF BELINDA AND HER TEAM, YOU KNOW, WISH NOT TO MOVE FORWARD TO BUILD A STADIUM THAT’S REALLY VERY ROBUST, I THINK IT WOULD BE INNOVATIVE TO SACRAMENTO. I’VE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE. I SEE IT AS REALLY BEING, YOU KNOW, A STADIUM FOR THE PEOPLE AND REALLY A COMMUNITY ASSET. SO THAT’S THE OTHER BIG NEWS, IS THE FACT THAT WHETHER OR NOT THIS INVESTOR PANS OUT OR FALLS THROUGH A STADIUM WILL GET BUILT BEHIND ME, AT LEAST AS WE ARE TOLD, CONSTRUCTION IS, QUOTE, IMMINENT. AS FOR THE MAYOR, WHEN WE ASKED HIM WHY THINGS HAVE BEEN SO QUIET, HE EXPLAINED THAT THERE’S JUST A LOT OF MOVING PARTS RIGHT NOW. AND YOU REMEMBER, WE FAILED AT THIS TWICE ALREADY. SO A LOT OF THIS HAS BEEN BEHIND THE SCENES TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS LATEST INVESTOR MAY FINALLY BE THE ONE TO CONVINCE MLS TO BRING A MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER TEAM HERE TO SACRAMENTO. SO STILL A LONG ROAD TO GO, BUT SOME HOPEFUL SIGNS, ESPECIALLY ABOUT A NEW DOWNTOWN STADIUM BEING BUILT RIGHT HERE IN THE RAIL YARDS AREA BEHIND ME LIVE IN SACRAMENTO, MIKE TESELLE, KCRA 3 NEWS. MIKE, THANKS. KCRA 3 DID CONTACT MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER FOR DETAILS ON THE NEXT STEPS, BUT AT THIS POINT, IT’S DECLINING TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE? WE’LL DO THIS MORNING, OFFICIALS IN SACRAMENTO WILL BREAK GROUND ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS, CITIES, HOUSING, A RIGHT OF DEVELOPMENT AGENCY WILL HELP DEVELOP 43 UNITS OF HOUSING AT OAK PARK.
