KCRA 3’S MELANIE WINGO JOINS US LIVE FROM OUTSIDE THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY JAIL WITH AN UPDATE ON WHAT’S GOING ON THIS MORNING IN THE CASE THAT’S NOW TWO YEARS OLD. WELL, THE PRELIMINARY HEARING IS SCHEDULED TO PICK BACK UP AGAIN TODAY. NEARLY TWO YEARS TO THE DAY SINCE THE DEADLY K STREET SHOOTING IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO. IF YOU’LL RECALL, ON APRIL 3RD, 2022, BROTHERS SMILEY AND DEANDRE MARTIN, ALONG WITH MTULA PAYTON, ARE ACCUSED OF GETTING INTO A GUN BATTLE THAT LEFT A TOTAL OF SIX PEOPLE DEAD AND 12 OTHERS INJURED. ALL THREE MEN HAVE PLEADED NOT GUILTY IN CONNECTION TO THE SHOOTING. THE LAST TIME THE MEN MADE A COURT APPEARANCE WAS AT THE END OF FEBRUARY, AND AT THOSE PROCEEDINGS, THE JUDGE HEARD FROM EXPERTS AND WITNESSES, INCLUDING THOSE FROM THE SACRAMENTO POLICE DEPARTMENT, THAT SACRAMENTO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, FORENSICS LAB AND EVEN SOME CIVILIAN WITNESS ACCOUNTS WERE HEARD IN COURT. AND THAT HAPPENING TODAY, WE DO EXPECT MORE EXPERTS AND WITNESSES TO TESTIFY IN THIS PORTION OF THE PRELIMINARY HEARING. THINGS ARE EXPECTED TO GO TODAY, TOMORROW AND THURSDAY WITH EACH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS SET TO LAST ALL DAY LONG. REPORTING LIVE IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO, MELANIE WINGO KCRA. WRE THREE NEWS. MELANIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT LIVE REPORT. WE’LL HAVE UPDATES FROM THE COURTROOM WHEN THE HEARING GETS UNDERWAY AROUND NINE THIS MORNING, SO BE SURE TO STAY UPDATED THROUGH THE KCRA 3 APP ON YOUR PHONE. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE. TURN ON THOSE PUSH ALERTS TO GET ANY INFORMATION OF NEW DEVELOPMENTS. THE FAMILY OF A RIO LINDA MAN IS CALLING FOR THE FIRING AND PROSECUTION OF A SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTY. THEY SAY DEPUTIES DID NOT HELP THE MAN WHEN HE WAS IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. LOVED ONES HELD A VIGIL FOR 38 YEAR OLD CHRISTOPHER GILMORE LAST NIGHT. THEY GATHERED OUTSIDE OF HIS HOME, WHERE FAMILY MEMBERS SAY THEY CALLED FOR HELP MARCH THE 23RD WHILE HE WAS IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. THEY CLAIM DEPUTIES DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO TRY TO HELP HIM AND INSTEAD SHOT AND KILLED HIM. NOW THEY’RE CALLING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY. I’M HOPING THAT IF ANYTHING, THE PERSON, THE COP WHO WAS QUICK TO PULL THE TRIGGER IS FIRED, PROSECUTED, AND THEY CHANGED THEIR PROTOCOL BECAUSE THAT’S NOT RIGHT. SOMEONE WHO WHO’S IN A MENTAL CRISIS, THEY NEED HELP. THEY NEED THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO HAVE COMPASSION FOR THEM. A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING THE SHOOTING AND REVIEWING VIDEO. IT’S REQUIRED TO BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC WITHIN 45 DAYS. IT’S NOW BEEN ONE FULL WEEK SINCE THE COLLAPSE OF THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY BRIDGE IN BALTIMORE, AND OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS, CREWS HAVE CLEARED A TEMPORARY CHANNEL FOR SHIPS TO PASS THROUGH THE DEBRIS. TEO TORRES JOINS US NOW IN STUDIO WITH AN UPDATE. WELL, THE TEMPORARY CHANNEL IS MAINLY FOR CREWS HELPING WITH THE CLEANUP, BUT SOME SHIPS THAT HAD BEEN STUCK IN THE PORT SINCE THE COLLAPSE ARE ALREADY PASSING THROUGH THE CLEARED PATH IS PART OF A PHASED APPROACH TO OPEN THE MAIN SHIPPING CHANNEL THAT LEADS TO THE PORT. TWO MORE LARGER CHANNELS ARE PLANNED AS CREWS WORK TO REMOVE MORE DEBRIS FROM THE WATER. ON MONDAY, CREWS WERE WORKING TO LIFT A 350 TON PIECE OF THE BRIDGE. ANOTHER PIECE, WEIGHING 200 TONS, WAS ALSO REMOVED. MARYLAND GOVERNOR WES MOORE SAYS RECOVERING THE FOUR REMAINING BODIES OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS KILLED IN THE COLLAPSE IS A TOP PRIORITY, FOLLOWED BY REOPENING THE SHIPPING CHANNELS. URGENT TASKS COMPLICATED BY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. A PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL VISIT THE BRIDGE ON FRIDAY, WHERE HE WILL MEET WITH STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS AND GET AN UPDATE ON THE FEDERAL RESPONSE TO THE COLLAPSE. MIKE. ALL RIGHT. THANK THANK YOU SO MUCH, TAYLOR. ILLEGAL FIREWORKS HAVE BECOME A NUISANCE THAT ONE CITY PLANS TO ADDRESS TODAY ON THE AGENDA FOR THE WOODLAND CITY COUNCIL ARE CHANGES TO CITY ORDINANCE TO REDUCE USE OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS. NOW, SINCE ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE IN 2021 THAT INCLUDED A FINE, THE CITY HAS NOT SEEN THE REDUCTION IN USE THAT THEY HAD HOPED. NOW, A PROPOSED REVISION TO THE ORDINANCE WOULD HAVE THE THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE BE PER DEVICE INSTEAD OF PER OCCURRENCE OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS USE. THAT PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES A NEW APP TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO REPORT, USE OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS AND INCREASED ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE BY POLICE. HAPPENING TODAY, GOVERNOR NEWSOM WILL BE IN EL DORADO COUNTY TO WATCH THE APRIL SNOW SURVEY IN PERSON. CHECK OUT SOME VIDEO FROM THE LAST SNOW SURVEY THIS PHILLIPS STATION BACK AT THE END OF FEBRUARY. STATEWIDE, THE SNOW PACK HAD 18.7IN OF SNOW AND WATER, WHICH WAS 80% OF AVERAGE FOR THE START OF MARCH. KEEP IN MIND, THIS WAS BEFORE THE STORM THAT BROUGHT FEET OF SNOW AND BURIED MUCH OF THE TAHOE REGION JUST LAST MONTH. NOW THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES FOURTH SNOW SURVEY OF THE YEAR IS CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT, AS IT’S TYPICALLY THE PEAK OF THE SEASONAL SNOWPACK. WE HAVE LIVE COVERAGE WHEN THAT SURVEY GETS UNDERWAY AROUND TEN THIS MORNING, BUT FOR NOW, LET’S GO TO METEOROLOGIST KELLY CURRAN. NOW TO BREAK DOWN THE NUMBERS ON TODAY’S SURVEY. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. NOW THE NUMBERS THIS YEAR NOT QUITE AS IMPRESSIVE AS LAST YEAR, BUT AT LEAST WE’RE AT OR ABOVE AVERAGE. AND THAT IS WHAT’S IMPORTANT. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS THAT WE SAW FROM LAST YEAR. I MEAN THIS WAS EXTRAORDINARY RIGHT. SO NORTHERN PART OF THE SIERRA SAW 192% OF AVERAGE. THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SIERRA. THAT’S US. 235 AND THE NORTHERN 900, 297% OF NORMAL. THIS YEAR AT LEAST. LIKE I SAID, WE’RE AT OR ABOVE NORMAL. SO THE SOUTH OR SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE SIERRA FINALLY, AT 100% OF NORMAL. SO THAT’S GOOD NEWS. CENTRAL 107 AND NORTH 124%. THAT’S A STATEWIDE AVERAGE. WE’RE AT 110% OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL. AND AGAIN, THAT IS VERY GOOD NEWS GUYS FOR OUR WATER SUPPLY. MIKE AND BRANDY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH, KELLY. 708 IS YOUR TIME. TIME FOR ANOTHER CHECK OF KCRA THREE WEATHER AND TRAFFIC. LET’S START WITH METEOROLOGIST TAMARA BERG. IT’S ALSO GOING TO MAKE FOR SOME GREAT SPRING SKIING. AND I’VE GOT MORE SNOW THAT I’LL BE TALKING ABOUT IN YOUR EXTENDED FORECAST COMING UP HERE IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS. BUT RIGHT NOW LET’S FOCUS ON WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. SKIES ARE CLEAR AS THE SUN IS RISING. TEMPERATURE WISE. WE’RE DOING MID TO UPPER 40S AROUND THE CENTRAL VALLEY TO 27 DEGREES IN LAKE TAHOE. AND HERE IS WHERE WE’RE HEADED FOR TODAY. LET’S PUT THIS UP TO WHAT IS AVERAGE. AVERAGE IS TIME OF YEAR IS TYPICALLY 70 DEGREES FOR EARLY APRIL. WE’RE GOING TO DO 78 TODAY. SO WE’RE ABOVE THE AVERAGE BUT NOWHERE NEAR THOSE RECORD HEIGHTS OF 88 DEGREES BROKEN BACK IN 2000. SO WE’RE GOING TO FEEL THAT WARMTH EXTENDING NOT ONLY TO THE SIERRA, BUT ALSO ACROSS THE COAST. HIGHS TODAY IN THE MID 70S AROUND QUINCY TO THE MID AND UPPER 50S AROUND TRUCKEE AND TAHOE. GOOD LOOKING DAY IN POLLOCK PINES AND ARNOLD TO DO SOME OUTDOOR WORK. WE’RE LOOKING AT LOWER 60S IN THE FOOTHILLS, LOOKING AT UPPER 60S FOR GRASS VALLEY. COULD BE AS WARM AS 70 TODAY IN AUBURN AND JACKSON 70 AS WELL FOR ANGELS CAMP, MURPHYS AND DOWN THROUGH SONORA CLOSER TO THE COAST YOU’LL FIND A LITTLE BIT OF COOLING. SAN FRANCISCO STILL LOOKING LIKE A BEAUTIFUL DAY, THOUGH, TO GO OUT TO SOME OF THE LOCAL BEACHES THERE AT 67 DEGREES FAIRFIELD 76, IN NAPA, LOOKING AT HIGHS, ALSO PUSHING TO THOSE MID 70S ACROSS THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. DESPITE A COOL MORNING LOOK AT STOCKTON WARMING UP UP TO 78 FOR THE AFTERNOON. MANTECA WILL DO 76 MODESTO MID 70S AS WELL. AND FOR THE VALLEY PLANNER ACROSS THE SACRAMENTO REGION LOOKING AT UPPER 70S, PUSHING INTO YUBA CITY AND SACRAMENTO, DAVIS ABOUT 76 ELK GROVE GALT NICE DAY TO BE OUTSIDE. JUST DON’T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN. AN HIGH OF 76 TODAY AROUND THE S ELK GROVE AREA. NOW COMING UP IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES I’LL BREAK DOWN THE TIMING OF THE RAIN, THE SNOW AND THE COOLER AIR EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATE THIS WEEK. COMING UP, IT IS 710. BRIAN, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ON THE ROADWAYS? WELL, HERE’S A LOOK AT THE CAP CITY FREEWAY REALLY IMPROVED CONDITIONS HERE NORTHBOUND, WHERE WE HAD SOME BIG DELAYS DUE TO A STALLED VEHICLE THAT WAS BLOCKING THE SLOW LANE. THERE. THEY HAVE CLEARED THAT SLOWLY, STARTING TO SEE TRAFFIC SPEEDING UP THROUGH THAT AREA. BUT IT’S GOING TO TAKE A MINUTE AS WE CLEAR OUT THIS AREA HERE OF THE CAP CITY FREEWAY ALL THE WAY BACK TO HIGHWAY 50 OF THAT NORTHBOUND SIDE SOUTH BOUND, COMING INTO DOWNTOWN, NO PROBLEMS. IF YOU’RE COMING IN WESTBOUND 80 THROUGH THE CAP CITY FREEWAY, IT’S THAT NORTHBOUND SIDE WHERE WE STILL HAVE SOME CONGESTION DUE TO THAT EARLIER INCIDENT. INTERSTATE 80 OVER THE TOP, NO PROBLEMS. HIGHWAY 50 LOOKING GOOD COMING IN FROM FOLSOM. IF YOU’RE COMING UP OUT OF ELK GROVE ON I-5. NO DELAYS THERE. 99. WE’RE STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWING RIGHT AROUND THE FLORIN ROAD AREA, BUT AGAIN, THAT’S JUST THE USUAL DELAYS FOR THIS TIME OF DAY. NO INCIDENTS TO REPORT THERE. STOCKTON LOOKING GOOD ON FIVE AND 99 AND THE CROSSTOWN FREEWAY. NO SIGNIFICANT DELAYS THERE AND THROUGH THE TRACY AREA. STILL 31 MINUTES ON 205 WESTBOUND 580. A 26 MINUTE RIDE AND THE 99.
