to a neighborhood in antioch. police now combing that area for the alleged killer. neighbors are being asked to stay inside and lock their doors during the search. good evening everyone. >> i'm julie julie haener and i'm mike mibach. the lockdown was issued just before 2:00 this afternoon. sky fox live tonight. overhead, the area of gentry town drive, jefferson way and putnam street. now, right now, police are asking anyone living in this neighborhood to shelter in place. lock all the doors, lock all the windows. neighbors are also being asked to stay off the phone and not call 911 unless there is a life threatening emergency. police say the suspect, by the way, is 28 year old carlos palacios. >> we go live now to our crime reporter, henry lee henry. you met with the city's community response team, which is meant for non-emergencies. what can you tell us about them? but first, what's the latest on the search? >> yeah, julie, that search is still ongoing at this hour for that murder suspect, 28 year old carlos palacios. he allegedly ran from san joaquin county

sheriff's deputies in antioch and the neighbor of gentry town and putnam. so anyone who sees anything suspicious or sees people hiding or lurking about are asked to call police immediately while sheltering in place. this all comes on the same day that the antioch mayor is praising that community response team for helping people in crisis, while freeing up officers, this has been a godsend because this has helped alleviate the police department from certain. >> 911 calls antioch mayor lamar hernandez thorpe, marking a year since a crisis response team hit the streets to help those in mental distress, freeing up police for more urgent calls. the angelo quinto community response team handles about 500 calls a month. it's named after a man who died in antioch police custody. >> we haven't had an in-custody death since we launched this, and so that's a mark of success for me. the fact that we can take 500 calls off of the police's shoulders, that's success to me. >> i'm ready. on monday, the mayor tagged along with the team. it wasn't long before they

got a call to assist the police for unwanted guests. >> okay, over there off of railroad. okay, i'm gonna do a two bottles of water. >> thank you. more than welcome. >> in this case, the challenge was keeping pets and people together, especially in antioch. >> we don't have the resources right now to put them, especially with the pets, to put them anywhere. >> antioch police do still show up alongside the team in about 20% of calls for service, but if an officer isn't needed anymore, the team handles it from there. >> now see? >> and if the team shows up at a call and ends up needing the police, they have radios to contact dispatch directly. either way, the team has allowed officers to focus their attention on more pressing matters, like the search monday for a murder suspect who ran from san joaquin sheriff's detectives near gentry town drive and putnam street. antioch police set up a perimeter in the neighborhood and searched the area for hours. police and crisis team members both say they have a symbiotic relationship, and the good part

about it they rely on us, the pd, as much as we rely on them. the team's emphasis is on stepping back and listening. >> our main focus is going out into community. 911 low response emergency calls where we focus on de-escalation, mitigation, de-escalation. >> now the search for the murder suspect have been going on for a number of hours, but just within the last few minutes, the stockton police helicopter has left the scene. so we don't know if that suspect has been caught or not. we are awaiting information from san joaquin sheriff's office now, as far as that community resource team, the mayor says it's working on borrowed time. they need to fund that program in the near future with the help of city funds. up until now, the federal government has been helping to fund that program. live in antioch, henry lee, ktvu, fox two news, and henry, i know we're working to get more information on that search. >> i don't know if you can answer this, but do you know what led authorities to antioch?

they're looking for that suspect identified as 28 year old carlos palacios. do we know if does he have any ties to the antioch area? >> yeah. it's unclear whether he's from the central valley, julie, or from antioch. we rolled up on the scene in the gentry town putnam area, saw many, many antioch cops from street to street with their some of them with their guns out. we saw some plainclothes sheriff's detectives from san joaquin county, so unknown whether he lives in this area or simply fled here, or was holed up with relatives or friends. but certainly some questions that need to be answered. >> all right, henry, thank you. all right. we want to give you a little more information. now, back to that search. this is what it looks like right now from our perspective from sky fox. it's over the area right now. you're looking at live pictures. this is all happening in the area of gentry town drive, jefferson way and putnam street in antioch at this hour. again, live pictures right now from sky fox. as we have been told, authorities are in this area right now searching for a murder suspect from the central valley. he's identified as 28 year old carlos palacios. we

don't know his connection to the antioch area if there is at all one. but again, a big law enforcement presence right now, as we reported at the top of tonight's newscast, everyone in this area is being urged to stay inside, lock all of their doors and windows. we are working to get more information, and we will continue to monitor this situation and bring you any updates as we get them. now to the middle east, where tonight there could be some hope for a ceasefire in gaza. >> earlier today, hamas accepted a cease fire deal proposed by egypt and qatar. gaza residents pouring into the streets to celebrate the news of a possible cease fire. but that celebration was premature. israeli officials later said they are not considering this proposal, calling it unacceptable, saying hamas agreed to a different proposal than one israel helped craft. this comes as israel is preparing for a ground invasion

in rafah. right now, the israeli military is calling for a million palestinians taking refuge in parts of eastern rafah to evacuate immediately. and as things develop in israel's war with hamas, there is more fallout from protests on college campuses canceled graduation ceremonies and changes to ceremony locations. also, more tent camps being cleared and people getting arrested. protesters are calling on their schools to divest from companies that do business with israel or otherwise contribute to the war effort, and many universities across the country are dealing with the growing protests differently, trying to balance students rights to free speech with school safety at san francisco state university today, a group of protesters met with the university's president, ktvu jana katsuyama, live now at sf state. >> so, jana, what came out of today's meeting and what are students saying? >> well, first of all, julie, it was a very respectful, very peaceful meeting. and the students had prepared statements and questions for the university

president. i'm going to step out of the way so you can see what's going on here right now. shortly after that meeting, they followed up with a caucus that started around 330, right in the middle of the encampment. and right now they are discussing their response to the president. >> this is the first time the president of a university joins an encampment. >> san francisco state student protesters sat down with the university president, lynn mahoney, at 1:00 monday afternoon. eight students, speakers facing the president and two other administrators with three faculty members seated in the middle. the protesters called for action to stop the violence against civilians in gaza. president mahoney listened and said she saw her role as protecting free speech on campus. >> my role is actually to make it safe, and i don't just mean physically. i kind of mean culturally, politically and socially for every group on this campus to if it can't play out on a university campus, then the us is doomed. >> students presented their concerns and four demands to one

disclose university finances to divest finances three. defend the palestinian people and four declare the israeli occupation a genocide. how can you, as the president, give us the space and that board of trustees meeting to not only just talk to other presidents individually, but have us directly talk to the board? mahoney said she would work with students and invited the group to give her names of representatives to meet with their investment team to create a model for other campuses to follow on investment transparency and investment policies. >> give me a couple of names of folks who want to sit down with me and jeff, and a representative from cambridge, and let's hammer out exactly what it would look like. i think we can get a lot done between now and the end of the semester here. >> the meeting lasted more than one hour, and faculty members and the students said they were glad to see the dialog. >> i'm very proud of the students for having very, very clear, specific and actionable demands, and i'm really proud of their discipline and their organization. i'm encouraged, i

think, and i believe the university is acting in good faith. >> they've been supportive in their own way in terms of not shutting down the encampment. we are very optimistic. >> i think this was a huge step forward. i would like to say that i do hope other universities are seeing the leadership that has been performed here today. >> and back here live at san francisco state, one point of disagreement is the students asked the president to call the israeli attacks on gaza a genocide. she said that she is not a politician, and so she didn't feel like it was her place to take a stand. i just spoke with some of the student protest organizers. they say they plan to be out here having a good dialog as long as it takes, so that everyone feels that they have their say and a chance to have their voices heard. >> all right, jana katsuyama, live at sf state for us tonight. jana, thank you. >> well, the protests on college campuses have presented a challenge for president biden. >> well, tonight, the president both denouncing the violence

israel's actions in gaza. others feel the tenor of the protests spiraled out of control. >> i think many people feel like there's nothing that you're going to do that's going to be right. freedom of speech does matter. when does freedom of speech cross the line? >> republicans have been quick to pounce on the crisis they paint. president biden's response as weak. >> you cannot allow, you know, to be to have lawlessness in our country and intimidation today, a jewish students tomorrow are going to be christians, and day after tomorrow will be all of us. >> columbia university says in place of traditional graduation events, that will opt instead for smaller celebrations, most at its sports complex five miles from the campus on capitol hill. chad pergram fox news. >> and we are learning here in just the last hour that all in-person classes at ucla have been canceled, effective immediately, they are moving to remote learning due to what the university calls ongoing disruptions. all right. still to

heating up, especially inland, where sacramento and other areas starting on wednesday could see temperatures rise into the upper 80s, low 90s, which would be the first time that's happened this season. i think sacramento will see a couple low 90s as we go into saturday, probably friday and saturday, maybe even on wednesday night, thursday for us, we're going to be flirting with 90. we're going to be mid 80s, upper 80s, mid 80s, upper 80s. but that that those areas like just eastern antioch, eastern livermore, there's a chance you might pop into some some low 90s, especially as we get closer to the weekend. so the live camera shot, i want to show you this, officers getting a little hazy. the breezy conditions are going to continue. it's windy out there now. right now we've got wind gusts up to 15 miles an hour. that's surprised. it's as hazy as it is. there's a little bit of fog kind of wafting over. i think that's what we're seeing. and this rest of this week will be marked with winds warmer and dry. we haven't seen that in a while. a good long five day forecast with no rain in it. i'll see you back here with the full forecast in just a minute.

form advection fog, and the stronger the winds. i mean, just this is a feedback loop that goes all summer, but in this case we've got fog that's going to fracture apart and stay away for a while because the winds are going to come more northerly as we get into wednesday, thursday and friday. and that will enhance or produce the warming that's coming our way. so this will be a beautiful week. we're going to see pollen counts come back up. last week was a nasty pollen week. this week it's going to be a nasty pollen week as well. especially in the central valley. could see the first 90s of the season in the central valley on maybe on thursday and then maybe again on sunday and around here mid 80s, upper 80s at times, maybe a low 90. we'll see the winds forecast for tomorrow afternoon. and then look what this is when it gets going. wednesday and there's a wind advisory out in that central valley. and i suggest it with the last few days of the couple of days next couple of days of drying, warming, we could see some fire danger concerns, believe it or not, in these zones. so we'll keep an eye on that. right now it's just

a wind advisory, but that mainly impacts tuesday night into wednesday. these are the forecast highs for tomorrow about where they were today maybe a little bit warmer. and then it starts to warm significantly mid 80s by wednesday day mid upper 80s thursday friday saturday maybe some upper 80s i'm i'm picking i'm cherry picking the hottest spots like that. 88 is going to be clayton or somewhere like that on saturday. so a nice looking week ahead. no rain in the forecast. first time we've seen that in a while. >> it is bill. all right. thank you. well some schools in texas were closed today after days of heavy rains there soaked the houston area. hundreds of people had to be rescued. a four year-old boy died after being swept away in the fast moving waters after the car he was riding in got stuck, the storms began to taper off as the day went on, but high waters forced authorities to close roads and now many residents are facing a massive cleanup effort. after rising river levels forced evacuations over the weekend. >> and while the storms caused damage on the ground, the view
