They lit candles and gathered to support each other at the scene of a deadly crash. He was riding a scooter to an early meeting when he was hit by a school bus. We are all really close to cam. Every day, he came to work. He never complained. Never questioned anything. He just put his head down and went to work. He was an angel on earth, i promise you every day, he would make sure i was good. Every single day, he made sure i had something to eat. That last student you heard from was camdans roommate. We spoke with his grieving mother. Reporter the victim, Camdan Mcwright was a running back. The entire team is devastated. They were supposed to meet here and develop a game plan and fly to new mexico on sunday. That game has been postponed. The crash happened when it was still dark. Camera video shows him stopping at the intersection. He waited before crossing. It is too graphic to show the Unified School District bus running him over. The bus has a green light. I just cant imagine our lives without him. Reporter his mother is still in shock. The family lives in los angeles county. We just love him so much. And such a terrible loss. We just want to be with him and all he ever wanted to do was to be with us. Reporter his mom says he was on his way to the football stadium when the bus hit him. He did not have any air pods.

Parts of napa and sonoma counties could lose power if the strong winds kick in, this weekend. They could have the power cut prevent wildfires. 6000 customers across the entire watch region could be affected. We just need to shut it down during the peak of the storm. To see those winds coming in is a real concern for us. If shutouts happened, it would be sunday into monday and more than 100 customers could be impacted. It is hard to believe that we were setting High Temperature records for High Temperatures. It is going to be cool and breezy. The moisture is missing. Maybe a few showers for the high sierra and that is about the extent of it. The winds will be the major factor. They really pick up as we head into the afternoon. 20 to 30 mile an hour wind gusts, inland. 30 to 40 miles an hour at the coast. They pick up sunday afternoon.

Everyone is below average for late october. Police in san jose are investigating another pedestrian accident. This was a hit and run with major injuries. The crash happened at blossom hill road and snell avenue. The crash happened about 7 00 last night. The woman is hospitalized but in stable condition. Now to atherton where a mystery has been unfolding in the backyard of a 15 million home. Chopper 5 flew over the home, yesterday. An investigator found a convertible mercedesbenz 45 feet deep in the backyard and this is where things get mysterious. The mercedes was actually reported stolen in september of 1992. Police are trying to identify the owner but they believe he is dead. Investigators are still working to dig the car out but this is what they have found, so far. We were able to open up to trunk and there were bags of concrete within the trunk. The top was off of the convertible and we are still working through some logistics in order to tow the vehicle out. The home has changed hands two or three times since the 90s and the cadaver dogs have made slight notifications where the car is buried. They are going through a landscaping project and it is quite possible it could be a worker who got cut and dripped some blood on the ground. It could be that someone vomited in the area, recently. Or someone has been buried there for quite some time. We just dont know what they are reacting to until we discovered it. A statewide fraud. A growing number of cyber criminals going after ebt cards. It is the way i survived, right now. Reporter she is a disabled single mom his only source of income is public assistance which she receives on an ebt card. That is the only way i am able to take care of my bills, my rent, medicine and any extra things i need to take care of me and my son. Reporter last month, when she checked her balance, she learned that thieves had taken nearly all of it, almost 700, leaving the resident with just 6. 51 to pay her bills. I was devastated. I think i was in tears all morning. Reporter last month, 16 people were charged with a massive fraud scheme. The crooks created cloned cards and were able to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash benefits. Mostly through the use of skimming devices. Monroe says her card was never out of her possession. According to these figures from social services, in the month of july of 2021, the state paid out roughly 92,000 in fraud claims to residents receiving ebt. By january, six months later, the monthly dollar amount ballooned to 1. 5 million and by july, the state paid out more than 3. 8 million to ebt fraud the items. In total, the state lost nearly 24 million to ebt fraud over a 12 month period. Cyber Security Experts say the victims may not aware they have been targeted until it is too late because thieves take a little bit of money at a time. It is a profitable enterprise, they will do this frequently. Reporter the chief scientist reminds recipients to always verify any communication they receive from someone claiming to be with the state and to monitor their account, daily. Monroe did have her funds returned to her and a state spokesperson tells me they are actively working to reimburse victims but the state cautions, if this happens again to a victim within a threeyear period, they will not get that money back.
