West Coast Wrap, Tuesday 10/13/2026

The man convicted of Tupac Shakur's murder gets 40 years to life in prison, but remains defiant. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to West Coast Rap. I'm Alex Savage. Three decades after the Las Vegas drive-by shooting that killed the rap icon, the man who orchestrated that murder was sentenced earlier today. As Fox's Caroline Elliott reports, Shakur's relatives had a chance to address Dwayne Keefy D. Davis in the courtroom before the judge sentenced him. Justice Tuesday in Las Vegas for the murder of a hip-hop icon. Dwayne Keith D. Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for orchestrating the killing of Tupac Shakur. The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on September 7th, 1996. Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas more than 30 years ago. After a white Cadillac pulled up alongside the black BMW, he was riding in and shots rang out. Tupac died in the hospital six days later at just 25 years old. His family spoke at Tuesday's hearing. That day, loss of Tupac, for a long time, crippled my entire family emotionally and mentally. Shakur was considered one of the most influential rappers of the 90s, and his legacy and musical catalog have grown even after his death. His killing went unsolved for decades until Davis, a former Crip gang leader, openly spoke about his role in the murder in interviews and in a 2019 tell-all book, claiming he was in the white Cadillac and passed the gun to the back seat where the shots were fired. Much of the evidence used at trial relied on Davis's own statements, while his attorneys claimed he was exaggerating the story for financial gain. A jury deliberated for just three hours before reaching a guilty verdict. Three other people who were allegedly in the Cadillac with Davis have since died, and prosecutors say they don't have enough evidence to charge anyone else. In New York, Caroline Elliott, Fox News. And there was a lottery system used to offer the public a chance to witness today's sentencing in the courtroom in Las Vegas. One observer suggested the investigation of Shakur's murder should continue. Now, who else is involved? If you didn't pull the trigger, somebody who actually pulled the trigger is still out there. That's where I really feel. To where the justice is halfway done, but hopefully it continues. If it's a snowball, let it be that big boulder mountain that just rolls over all the people involved in it that really wanted Tupac dead. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wilson says this case is a reminder that, quote, no matter how much time passes, our commitment to seeking justice never wavers. Now, we spoke earlier with TMZ's Charles Lauderdale Boudier about the long road to today's sentencing. It's so weird that it has taken 30 years to get to this point. But as the judge said, nobody forgot about the fact that Tupac was murdered and that this case had not been solved. And the judge made sure that his sentence reflected the crime today during that sentencing. UNLV criminal law professor Ray Johnson has been following this case along with us. And we bring him back in tonight for his perspective on today's sentence sentencing in Las Vegas. Thank you so much, professor, for coming on tonight. What do you think the message the judge in this case was hoping to send by handing down the sentence here? Forty years to life in prison to Dwayne Davis. Well, good seeing you again, Alex. I think the biggest clear message was that accepting responsibility and outgrowing what you did and moving on with your life are not the same thing. I think one of the arguments that KPD was trying to make is that he's now a grandfather. He's moved on from this. He's changed his life. But that doesn't excuse his behavior from which the jury found him guilty of being responsible and being a shot caller against Tupac Shakur. So I think the biggest message sent was, time really doesn't heal all wounds if you don't take responsibility for it. Yeah. Davis declined to address the court during the sentencing today. He was given the opportunity, so he didn't stand in front of the court, in front of relatives of Tupac, to publicly express any sort of remorse. Do you think if he had chosen to make some sort of a statement to the family that it would have made a difference in how the judge decided to sentence him? Yeah, honestly, I don't know that it would have in this case, Alex. I mean, he's 63 years old, and I think the prosecutor, Mark DiGiacomo, said it early on, that he was prepared to really not even make an argument because the minimum sentencing the floor was 40 years. And effectively, I think to quote him is, he will die in the Nevada Department of Corrections regardless of what happens. And so I really don't think that there's any validity to the fact that if he would have accepted more responsibility, if he would have shown more remorse, that the sentencing judge would have gone below what the minimum should have been. Because remember, this happened back in 1996. And as mentioned during the sentencing, the 1995 truth and sentencing applied to this particular case so the 40 years was a stack on from the murder conviction along with the consecutive sentence for 20 years uh 20 and 20 for the uh the weapon enhancement right and then i understand there was also this sentence included this 20-year mandatory enhancement for profiting off of tupac's murder help us understand that enhancement here how much did davis's public admissions which we talked a lot about you know he talked a lot about his role in the killing in books and podcasts how much did all of that contribute to the sentence he received today i think the the statements he made contributed greatly to his conviction i think the fact that he kept running his mouth he was the compton street legend and everything he was talking about meant everything for that three-hour verdict to come back if you remember how quickly that was as far as sort of what it meant towards the sentencing i really believe that given the age given the um the nature of the 20-year sentence and the minimum 20-year consecutive stack, I think it really didn't mean a whole lot. I mean, there's going to be, obviously it didn't help the case. If he went on a message of, you know, I'm reborn, I feel bad for what I did, I'm now teaching the youth of how not to do that, I think that might have had an impact. But the fact that he said no remorse, the fact that he was very indignant continuing today when he said, I'm just going to appeal this sentence, I think that was very, very insightful that that 40 years was effectively a death sentence, as mentioned by the prosecutor. Yeah, I mean, clearly Davis was defiant here as this sentence was handed down today. He didn't have much to say. And all he said is that he does plan to appeal this conviction. I know we've talked about this before in terms of the grounds for an appeal. What do you think the likelihood is that Davis and his legal team might be successful? Yeah, throughout, it's always hard to say. There's going to be some reversible error arguments. There's going to be a couple of other things that I think Mr. Samp tried to preserve at the initial trial. The biggest thing I think he's going to look at is going to be the admission of his statements to prior investigators. That's going to be the one that I know you and I talked about before. That's going to be the one that I would look at most closely to see, was there any immunity given? Was there any statement that would have allowed him not to come into this trial? Otherwise, I think you're looking at some traditional reversible error. Should you have allowed this? Should you not have allowed that? But ultimately, it's going to have to determine on what the appeals look like when Mr. Samp actually files them and taking a look at those documents. Yeah. And if those appeals are not successful, Davis looking at spending the rest of his life behind bars for this killing. Ray Johnson, UNLV, appreciate your insight tonight. Thank you so much. Good to see you. Always a pleasure. Thanks, Alec. All right. Take care. President Trump is in Alaska tonight campaigning for Republican U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan. The president holding a rally tonight for the incumbent GOP candidate who is in a competitive midterm election race for what is considered a reliably red state. Sullivan is up against former Congresswoman and Democrat Mary Peltola. With your support, just 21 days from now, Alaska is going to defeat the radical left Democrats once again. So you got to remember Dan Sullivan, Republican incumbent. And the president will be continuing this Western campaign blitz with a rally for GOP candidates tomorrow in Bullhead City, Arizona. Of course, we will be closely following the president's visit there to Arizona tomorrow. Now, tonight, we do have an update on the dozens of campers we told you about last night who are trapped by flooding in Sedona, Arizona. They remain trapped tonight. Private citizens have now shown up to a debris-covered bridge that is keeping the campers from getting out of that area. They're working to clear the debris, trying to get those campers out. Fox 10's Megan Spector spoke with some of those campers today who said they are safe, but obviously eager to get back home. On the other side of a bridge, 65 campers are waiting for a way out. It's the only path in or out of Cave Springs Campground, but it's underwater and blocked by debris. I never thought I would ever say I want to go home from camping, but it's definitely gotten to that point where I just want to go home and take a nice hot shower. The Coconino County Sheriff's Office and DPS coordinated a food drop this morning, bringing in enough supplies to last for the next two days. The camp hosts are going to take an inventory of it and then disperse it evenly around the campers, so I'm looking forward to that because we ate our last meal last night, so we only had munchies. We have food for a couple days now, apparently, and so we're doing well, hopefully. For now, it's a waiting game for campers, while officials track the conditions. The risk of trying to rescue somebody out of there, you know, outweighs this right now. If we had a medical issue, we would be able to extract people via helicopter. But right now, you know, we're thinking, you know, patience over risking anybody's life. If we did have somebody that called and was having a medical issue, we would be able to respond in there. Campers are eager to head home, but Mother Nature isn't cooperating just yet. It did recede quite a bit yesterday, and then overnight we got more rain, so it was right back up again. We're praying rain stops, continues to stop, and so we get to go home tomorrow. We're hoping it gets down far enough so we can clear some of the debris out and get on our way. Reporting in Oak Creek Canyon, Megan Spector for West Coast Wrap. Meantime, people in parts of southern Utah are being warned to stay on top of the flood threats throughout this week. showers in this area hit by wildfires north of St. George caused some minor flooding over the weekend. There is concern that additional rain will cause even more flooding and possibly debris flows. You know I've lived up there for several years and I've never seen the water overflow the road like that but it's because of the burn and the burn scar that's changed the dynamics of everything. All right for more let's bring in KTVU meteorologist Roberta Gonzalez who is tracking those showers. We still are seeing some storms in parts of the southwest. Yes absolutely and we all wanted it because we wanted to drift all into the colorado basin but we just don't want it all at once that's right that's right yeah let's space it out a little bit absolutely let's take a look at our current radar this is satellite and radar imagery you can see how towards the pacific ocean you see that clockwise fashion of circulation that is the area of high pressure that is building into the west coast and will provide temperatures to go up especially on friday and it will begin the warming trend on Thursday. We'll talk more about that. But if you notice right here in towards Utah and in Colorado, we still have plenty of precipitation in the form of rain and snow, not just in Salt Lake City, but now moving in towards the northern and central portion of the Colorado Rockies. We're even talking about Mosquito Pass here. So tomorrow it's going to be rain, snow mix and up to a foot of snow in the Rockies. Bringing you back towards the state of california here we now have this yellow area remember we've been talking about coastal flood advisories there and beach hazard statements in effect now we're talking about orange in san diego county is a heat advisor in effect on thursday all the way through saturday and then we take you into the los angeles area including long beach and also santa barbara san luis obispo as well again heat advisor in effect from thursday all the way into saturday in northern california in the north bay of the san francisco bay area one more coastal flood advisory the advisory for the central bay and also monterey bay was allowed to expire today but this one continues until 4 p.m on wednesday so then we go from the flood advisory to increasing fire danger again boy it's a flip of the coin right we had all the rain and the advisories the watches and the warnings and now we're talking about a red flag warning in effect right here for this red highlighted area these are santa ana winds 50 mile per hour gusts and the relative humidity down to five percent that's mojave desert dry and this is what they're going to experience with that offshore push from santa clarita through oxnard malibu and in los angeles again it will heat up at the end of the week today it was 75 degrees in los angeles and right there at the beach in santa monica we had a high temperature 72 degrees san francisco we did have clear blue skies at 73 degrees, a little bit above average for this autumn time. Cloud deck, stratus cumulus clouds there in Seattle, not checking in with their high temperature yet, but I took a look at one of the observations and it was 64 degrees. And in Phoenix, 78 degrees today with those alto cumulus clouds overhead. The forecast, pleasant conditions in Northern California warming up really throughout the entire state. Rain, snow mix in Denver and it's going to be pretty nice across Arizona. Here's the next three-day forecast, and you'll notice it's going to be hotter in LA than it will be in Phoenix. Alex? All right, Roberta, thank you. Much more to come here on West Coast Wrap tonight. Six Flags is shutting down roller coasters all across the country, including one here in the West. Coming up, we'll tell you what is behind the theme park's move. A University of Wyoming graduate student is being held tonight in Los Angeles after she allegedly poisoned a fellow student. 32-year-old Eileen Wang was taken into custody at LAX last week. Prosecutors believe she was trying to flee to her native China. The microbiology student allegedly put a chemical in the tea of a student who specialized in similar medical research. Court documents say when the victim began complaining of symptoms, a professor had that tea water tested and then police set up surveillance cameras. Now, the university president said in a statement, quote, the university takes matters involving the health and safety of the campus community seriously and remains committed to providing a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The university says it's working with authorities right now and will respond to any additional information that may arise. Officer Brian Lyles, Visalia area. End of watch, September 28th, 2026. A devoted husband, father, and California Highway Patrol officer was remembered today, just days after he was killed in the line of duty. An emotional memorial service was held for Officer Brian Lyles in the Central Valley community of Visalia this morning. The 44-year-old officer was killed in a traffic collision just north of Bakersfield. He'd been with the CHP for over 16 years. A cousin read a letter from his widow describing his love for their son and daughter and his many hobbies and interests. Because when we remember Brian, I don't want us to remember only that he is gone. I want us to remember the man who loved guitars and motorcycles, the man who dreamed about boats he could fix up, the man who loved fishing, hiking, diving, hunting, and camping. Officer Lyles was honored as the officer of the year for the Visalia area last year. He also had Bay Area connections as well. He was first assigned to the San Jose area and then later served in Hayward before moving to Visalia. Well, Six Flags is shutting down several attractions in the U.S. and Canada after a man was killed when he fell from a roller coaster at Six Flags over Georgia yesterday. The Goliath coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California is among the rides being shut down. That appears to be the same type of coaster involved in yesterday's accident in Georgia. And this comes less than two weeks after Magic Mountain retired its X2 ride after lawsuits claim that riders suffered catastrophic brain injuries from the ride. One attorney says they're still waiting for information. We haven't been able to conduct or get any responses yet to formal discovery. They haven't had to, in the lawsuit, get to the point where they have to answer our questions. But obviously now we have a lot more questions because tragedies keep mounting up. The law firm says they expect as many as 100 other plaintiffs will come forward who suffered varying degrees of injuries from the X2 ride. Actress Selma Blair says she is not guilty of assault. Blair made her first appearance in court late last night after being arrested on Sunday. We told you about this case yesterday. She is accused of injuring two flight attendants, kicking a police officer, and kicking a nurse. After landing, Blair's attorney told the court that she fell and hit her head on that plane and missed her medication. He says she was in the grip of a medical emergency. We spoke earlier with TMZ's Charles Ladbouvier, and he told us that Blair will face separate federal charges for what happened on board that plane. As for the flight attendants, she is going to be charged federally for that with assault. It has not happened yet as of right now, but we know that she's received a summons and that she is going to be charged for that. Blair was released from custody on $20,000 bail. Coming up here on West Coast Wrap tonight, shots fired at a TV station in California. It's happened twice now in the last week. Coming up, the surveillance footage investigators hope will lead to an arrest. We're following a concerning situation in Bakersfield, California, where shots were fired at a local TV station this morning for the second time in just a week. This surveillance video captured the first shooting. It happened Friday at the KBAK and KBFX studios. studios. Those are the CBS and Fox affiliates in Bakersfield. You can see as that car pulls up before opening fire directly at the building. Right now, there's no video of the second shooting. It happened early this morning, but police say several bullets struck the building. Thankfully, no one was injured in either of those shootings. It's not clear if they are connected and no arrests have been announced. Anyone who has information is asked to reach out to investigators in Bakersfield. Well, Apple is unveiling a new line of products aimed at making your home a little smarter. Fox's Susan Lee has more on what's reported to be the second of three major product announcements under the tech giant's new CEO. Apple is going all in on your home, announcing new smart products, including a new home hub, doorbells, cameras, and thermostats. At the center is HomeView, a new touchscreen display with speakers, facial recognition, and AI-powered Siri. You can look up recipes, make video calls, listen to music, and monitor your cameras, all by using your own voice. Prices start at $299. Apple is finally getting into the home battle with Amazon and Google, who have had control hubs on the market for years at lower starting prices. Another new device, smart locks that automatically open with your iPhones and iPads. Pretty handy when your hands are full with groceries. Prices there start at $350. New doorbells and cameras use AI to help you monitor your homes and also search for recorded footage. A new thermostat will use AI to regulate temperatures and save energy. Apple says all data is private and encrypted. It will be stored in the cloud. Starting prices, though, are slightly higher than Nest or Amazon products. Now, for Apple, this is about finding its next big growth opportunity beyond the iPhone, which still accounts for roughly half of company sales. Recent reports suggest softer iPhone 18 Pro demand, but it's still early days. Apple is also clearly betting on AI, so that future of having your own personal AI butler managing your home and making life a little easier may be getting one step closer. Susan Lee, Fox Business, New York. See if people are ready to bring Apple products into their homes here, more Apple products. All right, here's a beautiful live look tonight here in Southern California, a live look at San Diego. This is the San Diego Bay, where you can see a number of folks out there on their boats tonight here as the sun is setting right now, a beautiful shot here of San Diego, and you are watching West Coast Wrap. Meteorologists are expecting a rare super El Nino weather pattern this winter. Temperatures in the Pacific are continuing to rise, and that's leading scientists to issue warnings about potentially damaging storms all across the West. For more, let's bring in KTVU's Heather Holmes, who is here in the studio. And Heather, today, two major municipalities in California sort of laid out their plans for how they're preparing for this winter. Yeah, and I can bet you're going to see many more meetings like this as we get closer and closer to the rainy season. Los Angeles County and the city of San Jose both outlining some of the plans that they will be putting in place. And a lot of that preparation, well, it involves communication. San Jose City Council members holding a joint session with members of the Valley Water Board of Directors. This is in South San Jose. Now, the goal today for both agencies to work collaboratively to protect communities at risk of flooding during the rainy season. The meeting centered on ways to bring greater clarity for areas of responsibility in hopes of reducing overlap and also improving responsiveness in an emergency. As identified in the Joint Emergency Action Plan, we first start off with monitoring the events that are going on, communicating with each other, also putting out public information. For example, we have this two-page document for residents on how to stay safe and what to do to prepare and what the city of San Jose is doing. We give this information out to the public as well. We take action on the hotspots where we send and deploy staff. now several council members are pushing for better identification of hot spots San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan asked for an assessment of those areas before the rainy season begins officials really up and down the West Coast are spreading similar messages the chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is advising residents to get ahead of the weather and have a plan in place we have to be prepared number one is to make sure that you have a plan number two If you need assistance, call 2-1-1 and ReadyAlertLACounty.gov, but also to make sure that you're also watching out for your neighbor. And if water does come into your home, make sure that you quickly dry it because it can quickly turn into mold in a few days. And you want to prevent any kind of contaminants endangering yourself and your family. Now, also today, climate scientists from the University of California said new figures show the odds are very high that just about every region of California will see rainfall 150 percent of average. So the last time that we had a strong El Nino, which is what they're predicting here on the West Coast, was about 10 years ago, the winter of 2015, excuse me, in 2016. when storms really battered the West Coast, causing dangerous surf and coastal erosion. So there are some lessons to be learned from what happened during that time, and obviously a lot of preparations underway now. Yeah, and everyone taking all the warnings very seriously. Okay, Heather, we appreciate it. Thank you. And there is, of course, the potential for significant damage from a Super El Nino all along the West Coast. Crews in Southern California, they've spent the past several days dealing with coastal erosion, and heavy surf has pounded many of the beaches there, and obviously caused a lot of damage to coastal properties as well. We've told you a lot about that. But it's not just the coastline where you see concerns. Even people who are inland, in the mountains, in the desert communities, across the southwest, all of them need to be on the lookout and preparing for the potential for really heavy storms as we move into these winter months. Joining me now to talk about preparations for El Nino is Allison Bridger, San Jose State Professor Emerita of Meteorology and Climate Science. Thank you so much for the time tonight. Appreciate it. You know, first of all, just sort of a big picture for people trying to get ready for El Nino and how it might impact them. How do you think people should be sort of thinking about the risk they may face with El Nino this winter? Unfortunately, we've had strong El Ninos in the past that did not result in a large amount of rain. So what we're talking about is guarantee, but I think it would be wise to be on the alert for heavy rain. And we're not talking about one storm. El Nino is not one storm lingering out, waiting to come and attack us. El Nino is about the conditions which normal winter storms will be forming So the kind of thing we be aware of is if we have a lot of atmospheric river storms And if they come pretty much one after the other as opposed to two or three weeks Because then you're likely to saturate the ground with rain from one storm and then generate a lot of runoff the next storm and the next storm. So I can't guarantee we're going to have a wet, rainy winter, but I think it's a good idea to plan for one. Yeah, and certainly the likelihood just continues to increase here according to all the forecasts here. So what sort of steps do you think people should be taking right now to prepare for the possibility that we may see some of those really strong kind of back-to-back storms coming this winter? How can people, you know, how should people be thinking about protecting their properties? Well, the first thing is to have a way to find out what the detailed forecast is looking like. National Weather Service has a Web page that will tell you what's on. There are other private companies that have sites that can prepare you. so if big storm coming on wednesday you really ought to know it by sunday or monday so you can do preparation if you really think what's going to come into your house well sandbag um i don't live in a floods so i've never had to figure out how many bags i need but i think that'd be a good idea and that might be something you could look at flood maps for your city online and see if you're in a flood prone area and some people will know if they're going to flood because they've flooded before um so definitely have sacks ready uh if you really are uh do things do things like the family photographs and put them up on the top shelf in the living room so they're far away from any possibilities of getting flooded uh maybe have a go bag with passport and your medication and your dog pills and all that kind of stuff and this is painful but have gas in the car so you can leave need to yeah bite the bite the bullet and and uh buy a few extra gallons even if they are a bit expensive with the time we have left professor let me let me ask you about sort of um how you think our our infrastructure might hold up here if we really get you know this tremendous amount of rainfall that that that some forecasts are calling for here you know we're talking about cities and and counties putting their plans in place for el nino trying to prepare how do you think our infrastructure might hold up here and what what what can we do here in the in the next few months to try to be even better prepared well if you watch uh stories of flooding from like indiana uh texas somewhere in the east and the south when they have epic rain events the roads get washed away um it's hard for me to imagine anything like that happening in the bay area mostly because i haven't seen it before and that the rain events on the coast are much more intense than what we typically get here it rains very hard for many hours um but even simple things like keeping uh your drains clear of leaves which are starting to come down now is help out to keep your street clear um you know it's not my job to do the engineering for the city but when our infrastructure is built it's built with the assumption of certain conditions we're never going to get much rain it's never going to be that hot and all of those conditions are changing now so there is a little bit of a known here and in the valley there was always the possibility of the uh the levees giving way yeah well we'll have to wait and see i don't think we have made those here. How all our systems do hold up here as we head toward the winter months. Appreciate your perspective tonight. Allison Bridger, San Jose State University. Great to have you on. Thank you. Thanks. Absolutely. All right. Let's give you a live look here at Pacifica. And of course, this is here along the San Mateo County coast in the Bay Area. Beautiful shot. Here's the sun continuing to set. We're seeing some nice colors there over the water. But of course, we have talked about one of the effects of El Nino has been a phenomenon known as a Kelvin wave, And it is continuing, one of these Kelvin waves is continuing to make its way up the West Coast as we speak. We've been telling you about this large, slow-moving area of warm water that raises sea levels by as much as a foot. And when it's coupled with high tides and large swells from tropical storms, it can cause severe coastal flooding, like what we saw just a few days ago in Orange County. So for more on this Kelvin wave that we are keeping a close eye on, let's bring in meteorologist Roberta Gonzalez. us, where is this Kelvin wave right now? It's here. It's along the California coast for sure. It was notable around Baja California in September. And then we started seeing reports of higher tides and some coastal flooding in the San Diego area in September. And then about, let's say, late September to early October, we started to see the signs of the higher tides around central and northern California. And Santa Cruz reported their first bit of coastal flooding. And I started hearing from surfers as well as the warmer waters. And that was around October the 9th. And then what happened in the Orange County area, it was a perfect storm. You had the high tide and then you did have the rainfall effects from that powerful surge as well. Now, again, we have to keep in mind, what is this Kelvin wave? Well, it generates at the equator there. And the possible track of the substantial rain and wind is pretty much in the southern 48 states of the United States. But look along the coast here. That wave generates underwater. It's pretty hard to detect that, right? You just notice the rise in the water. And this is one of the latest maps I could pull up, and it's really hard. I wish I could lay down the labels of date by date, but it's just an arrival. There isn't a particular date that a Kelvin wave has arrived. When you see the yellows and the reds, that is significant. That's the warmer water, and it does induce that Kelvin Wave. And people ask me, how long can it stick around? Well, the water just doesn't recede automatically. It can be weeks or it can be a month. But for the most part, I think what's so beneficial when we heard Heather Holmes' story, people are preparing. They didn't do that in Newport Beach. They didn't do that in Long Beach. And these reports about the Kelvin wave has been out there for quite some time and also about the potential of a very strong El Nino. The key ingredient here is to be prepared. Adopt a drain. Make sure that the leaves are out of the drain. I adopted a drain. I named it Draymond Green. Draymond Green. After the Golden State Warrior player. But also make sure your gutters are cleared out and your roofs are okay as well. So wait. So this Kelvin wave is going to spend, let's say, the next few weeks, maybe months, sort of moving its way up the West Coast. We imagine. Are there going to be more Kelvin waves that follow here as we head into the winter months? Yes. I'm sorry to interrupt there. This sort of just continues. Yeah, it does. And let me give you a little key on when you can notice it. How about a full moon? We're going to have a high tide, astronomical high tide. We're going to be experiencing king waves and king tides and also a full moon at Thanksgiving, November 26th. So you can expect substantial coastal flooding at that time, too. And with the flooding comes beach erosion. So the key, again, is be prepared. We can't stop the water, but we certainly can prepare our home and our area. Yeah, and we can sort of harden our homes and our properties in preparation. Okay, Roberta, we appreciate it. Thank you very much. Much more to come here on West Coast Rap tonight. After the break, some tense moments on the football field. The punishment handed down to the L.A. Rams player after he punched an opponent. All right, welcome back. Let's talk about some of the big sports stories we're following here in the West as the Golden State Valkyries prepare for the WNBA Finals. The league is changing the venue for games three and four in this series in response to public criticism. But we want to start in L.A., where the Rams made a major roster move following their overtime loss last night to the Bills. Let's bring in KTVU sports reporter Bailey O'Carroll. And, Bailey, we have to talk about what happened here. The Rams, they parted ways with their kicker after his performance in last night's game. Alex, this was sort of just a Hollywood ending, not in the Rams' favor last night. The Rams now 2-3 on the season. They kind of decided, I think, they just needed to make a change. And that change, unfortunately, for their kicker, Harrison Mavis, was to be cut. He missed two field goals in the Rams' overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills last night. He missed a 50-yarder earlier in the game and then the 48-yarder. That would have been a walk-off field goal to win it in overtime for the Rams. Instead, the Bills walk away with the win. But that's not all. This wasn't all that led to him being cut. What else led to it was the fact that he had missed four attempts through five games this season. That is the most of any kicker in the league. So a frustrating start through five games for this Los Angeles Rams team. Yeah, it was tough. And the frustration showed after the game because we saw this scene where one of the offensive linemen from the Rams punched another player on the bills after this loss. What is the punishment that's now been handed down here? Yeah, Alaric Jackson, left tackle for the Rams. He is going to be suspended two games. You see the punch right there on your screen. That is one game against the Arizona Cardinals at home for the Rams. And then the second game is on the road in Las Vegas against the Raiders. Again, suspended two games for punching linebacker Bradley Chubb after the game. No real explanation has been provided as to why Jackson punched Chubb. Other than we know words were exchanged. And then in the locker room after the game, Bradley Chubb did say that he was ready for the next game. So he was just on to the next. He wouldn't give any details, staying tight-lipped, about what led up to this violence after this disappointing loss for the Rams. Yeah, tough loss for the Rams and obviously the fallout there, losing two players there. All right, let's shift and talk about the WNBA Finals. They kick off this weekend here. The Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream facing off here. And there was this whole controversy around the size of the arena in Atlanta that was scheduled to be the venue for games three and four of this series. But the WNBA has come up with a solution here because there was some pushback to having a WNBA finals game, two games, in a very small arena. What was the solution the league came up with? So, yeah, that arena that you're talking about just had 3,500 seats in it. So games three and four are being moved to accommodate so that the Dream can play in their home arena in Atlanta, and that is State Farm Stadium. So that has about 17,000 seats, vastly different than just the 3,500. Of course, this due in part to just the public outcry that the fact that a finals game would even be played in an arena that is about the same size as a high school gym. So game three, that got moved from, not August, we're in October now, From October 22nd to the 21st, that is going to be at 5 p.m. Game four, that remains on the 24th. That tip-off, though, is set for 10 a.m. Pacific time. So the Valkyries and Dream both happy that that game is going to be. Yeah, a lot of people pleased. They found a workaround here. Exactly. And both teams already getting prepped for this matchup. The Valkyries back at their facility in downtown Oakland today. Kaitlyn Chen saying, vibes are high. This team full of energy. Here's her post-practice. Really high energy. I feel like everyone's just really excited to be here and we're looking forward to doing what we've been doing for this entire season and just playing our best basketball. We all just sort of uplift each other and we have so much trust in each other that we're going to do what we're good at and I feel like that's what makes us so special. Everyone stars in their role and they do what they're really, really good at and everyone brings something unique to this team. Game one, that's going to be in the Bay Area on Saturday. Yeah, Valhalla is going to be rocking for that win. Okay, let's talk a little baseball, if we could, because the Dodgers, they're headed back home to play in Game 3 of the NLCS here, but they're down 0-2. You think they're going to be able to turn this thing around, playing on their home field? It's not what you want, the position you want to be in, especially in October. I do have to say that the Dodgers say Shohei Ohtani is going to be a go for Game 3, despite his slump. So bats are cold for the Dodgers. They're hoping anybody, Shohei Ohtani, comes alive and gets going for game three. That'll be in Los Angeles. All right, Bailey, we appreciate it. Thank you. Much more to come here on West Coast Rap tonight. After the break, voters in Oregon facing a deadline tonight. Coming up, how officials in the state are urging people to protect their midterm election vote. From calling on all Oregonians to remain vigilant in the face of any attempts to intimidate voters that we might see over the next three weeks. President Trump has refused to rule out sending troops to polling locations. Oregon's Secretary of State is urging voters to know their rights. Today, Secretary Tobias Reed reminded people midnight is the deadline to register to vote in Oregon for the November election. He also encouraged people who think they're already registered to check their voter status and ensure they know how to track their ballot. Reed voiced concerns about the possibility the Trump administration may stage armed troops at ballot drop boxes or polling locations. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a statement saying, quote, ICE is not planning operations targeting polling locations. Well, community activists are calling on elected officials and candidates to reject political money from San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York and his affiliated entities. A group of civic leaders, business owners, and residents all held a small rally today in Santa Clara outside of Levi's Stadium. They are calling for accountability in politics and political reform. They're accusing the 49ers of unfairly influencing local politics through campaign contributions. They're demanding every elected official and candidate who's accepted contributions from 49ers owner Jed York to return them or publicly explain why they won't. I am calling on candidates who benefit from independent expenditures funded by these interests to publicly reject that support and ask that the spending stop. The 49ers have spent more than two and a half million dollars on candidates in the Santa Clara City Council and mayoral races. Neither Jed York or the team have commented on today's rally. We'll be right back with much more news here on West Coast Rally. A dramatic rescue in the waters off San Diego. This all unfolded on Sunday morning, that is. A 911 call came in from a man reporting his vessel had run aground and was taking on water. A Coast Guard boat crew found the vessel but was unable to approach because of the shallow water and the hazardous conditions. An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter air crew arrived at the scene and they lowered an officer down to assist and find the man who was trapped inside that partially submerged cabin and struggling to breathe as waves washed over the vessel. Part of the cabin roof had to be torn off to free him. The helicopter crew then transported the man to land nearby, and there was a waiting medical crew, and they took him off to the hospital to be checked out. An incredible rescue operation there. And that does it for West Coast Wrap tonight.
