Police say they killed Edward French and robbed him of his camera on the morning of july 16th as he was taking photos of the sunrise. Just days before the twin peaks killing, mims was arrested for possession of a firearm by a felon, making the victims family and friends wonder why mims was ever released from jail. He was arrested on the 7th and he was released just four days later.

Residents are fighting to regain control of their private street after the city and county sold it to the highest bidder in an online auction. Presidio terrace is near the golf club. Jana katsuyama is in the neighborhood tonight where homeowners met. Thats right. They met inside one of the houses here in this neighborhood. They wanted to decide what to do next. The city says that by law they were required to sell this street because the Homeowners Association had failed to pay property taxes on this private road. Reporter beautiful multimilliondollar mansions line Presidio Terrace, the private community whose past residents have included Dianne Feinstein and nancy pelosi. The sidewalks and green common areas belong to two new owners who bought them for 90,000 in a public auction. The San Francisco treasurer spokeswoman says thats because the private street was considered a separate parcel and the presidio Homeowners Association failed to pay the property taxes. What the state says is if you fail to pay your property taxes for five or more years you get placed in something called power to sell. Reporter that power to sell was recorded in 2003, and the treasurers record show a notice of sale was sent out in february 2015 with a total of 994 owed in unpaid taxes and penalties. When we get ready to auction, we have to send certified notices to the address of record and publish a list in the newspaper and send the list to the board of supervisors for their approval. And did you do all of that . Yes. Reporter the notice was sent to the Presidio Terrace association at an address of 47 kearney street on the 6th floor of a high rise in San Franciscos financial district. An attorney for the homeowners, scott emblidge, said the homeowners didnt even learn about the auction until this past may, long after the sale. He met with the homeowners monday night, and before the meeting told ktvu the best they can tell is the address belonged to an accountant who might have done work for the Association Decades before. The Treasurers Office says every Property Owner has to keep their record with the city up to date. Their address of record. Reporter the new Property Owners who won the Presidio Terrace auction are two real estate investors. Lam and her husband, michael chang, who say they were surprised to see the exclusive street up for sale. Im a first generation immigrant. So i just want to feel like i have a place in the city of San Francisco. So i dont really have any plans to make money i just want to hold on to it. The Homeowners Association says a title agent for the new owners approached them about buying back the street. Now the association has sued those two new owners and the city and theyre asking the board of supervisors to rescind the sale completely. That issue is expected to be taken up at the board of supervisors meeting october 31st. Jana katsuyama in San Francisco tonight. Thank you.
