also turn back the clock. what were you doing two years ago? that's when we all went into lockdown. how businesses managed to survive. some didn't, though. and the warnings from santa clara county's top doctor. good evening. the news at 6:00 starts right now. thanks for joining us. >> a sonoma county teenager says he was detained by police simply for being black. the 13-year-old questioned by police outside his san francisco private school. the officer thought he might have been involved in a car burglary that had just taken place. the boy's parents are calling it blatant bias. >> this is where it all happened. a seventh grader had just walked out of the doors to his school to catch a ride home like he does every day when a san francisco police officer detained him. >> he said put your hands behind your back. i was so confused at first.

i thought it was a joke. >> reporter: but he quickly learned the officer wasn't joking. a police officer put his hands on the boy. when michael's tutor tried to intervene, his mother says the officer told them he fit the description of a car burglar and needed to be taken in for questioning. >> i think what's so shocking is that you had the security guard of his school come out and say he's a child. he's just leaving school. you had the person picking him up saying it and the officer is not backing down. >> san francisco police wouldn't talk on camera but over the phone said the officer was acting based on a description from a witness and detained the boy because he closely matched that description. they say they quickly realized the child was not involved in the burglary and immediately released hi. but michael's parents believe he targeted because he's black. >> it is totally racial profiling. i want the police department to

know what they did was not okay and how they treated my son is not okay. >> i started breaking down and crying with my friend because my friend came out and he saw everything. he was like, are you good? >> michael, who was too upset and scared to show his face, came home with a release certificate from the police department and his parents say a new opinion of law enforcement. >> my son has been changed. he is not the same person anymore. his innocence is gone now. he has a lot of fear. a lot of hatred toward police officers. >> michael says he's now scared when he hears sirens. he wants the police department to know what happened was hurtful. >> they don't deserve it. no one deserves it. stop doing it. >> reporter: stern school has issued a statement. they say their student did nothing wrong and was simply leaving school and they fully support him. they say they have filed a formal complaint with the san francisco police department.

i'm jody hernandez. >> thank you. a break in the case involving the shooting death of a security guard in oakland. that guard a former police officer was protecting a tv news crew. today oakland police identified the three men charged in that murder. opd revealed u.s. marshalls arrested shadihia mitchell yesterday in san francisco. her shell hale was arrested last month. police are still looking for laron gilbert. all three men are being charged with several felonies, including the murder of kevin nishita who was gunned down in november. >> and to the nishita family, i have spoken to his wife and said we would do everything we could to identify everyone responsible. it was rewarding to come before the family and friends of him and say that he have identified those individuals and they are being brought to justice. >> as we mentioned, police are still looking for loran gilbert.

september that there is like a bar on the bedroom, like you can just enter easily. i was observing everything. we went to the balcony of the house. >> reporter: less than a week after they left, that house became a crime scene. honolulu police discovered the body of 73-year-old gary rubi, the homeowner, in a bathtub covered with concrete. their front wanted for murder. another friend who joined them in hawaii decided to stay an extra week. police believed he was involved in the crime. he's on security camera video walking around honolulu with him. they say they're sure he had nothing to do with the murder. >> he's a close friend of mine and i even invited him to hawaii and paid for the trip. >> reporter: meanwhile baron fled hawaii and was arrested in anaheim. baron is still in custody in los

angeles. he's awaiting a hearing before getting sent to honolulu to face murder charges. ronald and mohamed say they still cannot believe they spent so much time with a man who is now accused of a gruesome crime. >> i believe he's a psychopath because who would stay in a house with a dead body there. >> and casually hang people over and casually hang out with everyone as if nothing happened. >> nbc bay area news. we're following developing news right now in mountain view. a 13-year-old boy was hit and killed while riding his bike to school around 8:30 this morning in that busy intersection with highway 237 begins. stephanie just spoke with some of the family members and joins us now in mountain view. stephanie? >> yeah. you can see the scene is now open. the roads are back open. police just left.

and there are still a lot of family members that have been coming out here to drop off flowers in honor of his life. one of those was actually his grandmother. she tells me that the boy was on his way to school when he was hit by the truckdriver, and she didn't want to speak with us on camera. she was overpowered by the tears. but she did tell me that his name was george oseda. and now in terms of police, they are still trying to figure out if the truckdriver was trying to go straight on this intersection or was trying to turn right when the child was truck. they did tell me that the driver has not been arrested. he's not facing any charges and they don't believe drugs or alcohol were a factor. a few of the family friends that i spoke with that came out here today tell me that george oseda was really a happy child. >> i just laid the colorful ones

on the end, on the right hand side just to -- he was a colorful soul. just a good human. i thought that was a good representation of him. >> reporter: now 13-year-old was a student at grand middle school, which is actually really near this scene. mountain view police say that they were at that school not too long ago offering a safe route to school course. in mountain view, nbc bay area news. >> that's very sad. thank you, stephanie. well, people here are celebrating st. patrick's way in a way they haven't been able to for some time. it was two years ago to the day that most of the bay area began shelters at home. businesses were forced to close their doors due to covid precautions. let's bring in robert honda who joins us from san jose on this special celebration day. robert? >> reporter: well, raj, there is definitely a celebration atmosphere going on here in downtown san jose for st.

patrick's day as you can see going on behind me here. you're right. this is a holiday celebration that hasn't taken place much the last couple of years, but now a lot more doors are open for business. >> we survived through the pandemic. we will survive. >> reporter: while many people are celebrating st. patrick's day, lana is just happy to be in business today. her family opened dand lion two months before the county's shelter in place order went into effect. it was really tough for the past couple of years, especially the first year. we were trying to survive day by day. we didn't think we were going to make it. but we were lucky we guilty some assistance to the government to pay for expenses and other things around. >> reporter: other neighbors businesses weren't so fortunate. many closed their doors and never reopened or couldn't recover. but in terms of human life, public health officer dr. sara

cody said the community's collective effort in taking precautions compared to death rates in other parts of the state saved about 2,000 lives. still a new variant has emerged. >> the good news is that so far what we're seeing in our county is that we've got quite a lot of ba2. but right now our cases and all other indicators are either slowly declining or flat. >> reporter: lana vo agrows but says she's encouraged. >> that would be really tough, you know. we have survived one already. we don't know if we're going to make it the second time. but who knows? >> all the way from new york. >> whoo! >> reporter: while dr. cody says it's highly unlikely that we will ever see that type of shelter in place again since we saw so much more about covid and how to deal with it than we did two years ago. live in san jose, robert handa.

rebate for california taxpayers. >> a group of lawmakers in sacramento announced their plan that would use $9 billion of the state's budget surplus. >> for most vehicles, for most californians, this $400 rebate is equivalent to a one year gas tax holiday. >> we see the pain you're feeling at the pump, how inflation is affecting you every day when you do your grocery shopping and feed your family. >> reporter: even those without cars can get the rebate. people could debate how they want to spend it. it could go to allstate taxpayers. but some would like to see an adjustment in the plan. >> the one thing i would like to see is these rebated will limited to people below some income. i don't think we should give is to people who have done quite well throughout the pandemic. >> reporter: christy smith, nbc

into next week. right now a little chilly. you want your jacket around san francisco. 54 degrees, but certainly feels colder than that. winds at 25 miles an hour. still look at that sunshine in san jose at 62 degrees. should see highs tomorrow near 70. up at lake tahoe, 46 degrees. time for our report. if you are heading up friday be prepared for the turn of winter weather advisory like weather. as you see, there is 36 degrees. snow flying may impact roadways for a time during the day saturday. but sunday the sunshine comes back out. to quantify how much snow, possibly 6 to 11 inches of snow from blue canyon along interstate 80 on highway 50. so this is a good late season snow to start off the weekened there around the sierra. tomorrow morning 40s to start. patches of low clouds and fog

around the bay. during the afternoon, we will see increasing high clouds, but no rain in the forecast for your friday. in fact, temperatures pretty mild. san jose south ward. upper 50s for san francisco. mid-60s around oakland into hayward. temperatures should drop a good 10 degrees on saturday. so the times of the rain, it looks like it will arrive just before sunrise on saturday. you see the time stamp there on the top of the screen by 8:00. look at the color coding here. when you see the red and purple showing up sometimes in the future cast, that suggestions that we might be looking at some brief thundershowers and possibly hail chances, especially for some of those stronger showers inland. i think it will be the north bay and the tri valley on saturday. as we head into saturday night and sunday, the skies start to clear because high pressure at that point is starting to build in. this will lead to the warming.

for 50s highs on saturday. 70s high on sunday. 80 by tuesday and wednesday. so interesting changes coming our way. tomorrow not much. easy travel if you can head up to sierra. saturday we could see a little everything. rain at times, maybe some hail. chance of thundershower and the skies clear. and we see a 30 degree jump in temperatures by early next week. so winter, spring and summer all covered. >> isn't that a james taylor song? >> yes. thanks. >> up next, going up and up and up. the new bay area numbers on housing and one of the reasons behind the jump.
