Weather forecast:
1. Man Gets Prison In Fatal Stabbing Of Acquaintance In Bay Area: DA (patch.com) — San Francisco readers learn that a jury convicted 41-year-old Dennis Duree of first-degree murder for fatally stabbing Brandon Mitchell and injuring a woman along Mission Street in 2023. The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office says Duree received a sentence of 100 years to life, and local prosecutors hope the outcome brings some measure of closure to the victims’ families.
2. Whales Keep Dying In The Bay Area. A New Bill Aims To Fix That (patch.com) — San Franciscans are seeing alarming numbers of gray whales dying in and around the Bay, prompting a new federal bill dubbed the “Save Willy Act.” The proposal would create a dedicated Whale Desk at the U.S. Coast Guard’s San Francisco station to centralize sightings and alerts, aiming to reduce deadly ship strikes near Alcatraz and other local waters.
3. LGBTQ+ nonprofits urge SF Mayor Lurie to reconsider $17 million in budget cuts (ktvu.com) — San Francisco LGBTQ+ nonprofits are urging Mayor Daniel Lurie to reverse $17 million in proposed cuts that would hit health, housing, and youth job programs citywide. At a Castro District rally, groups like the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and LYRIC warned reduced funding could limit HIV screening and youth employment support as the city works to close an $877 million deficit.
4. San Francisco New American Restaurant Recommended to Close Following Inspection Findings (whatnow.com) — San Francisco’s Department of Public Health has temporarily closed Fish and Farm, a New American restaurant on Clay Street, after an April 23 inspection documented sewage overflows, equipment problems, and food-safety violations. The restaurant’s health permit is suspended until all issues are fixed and a follow-up inspection clears the site, which must occur within 15 days or upon request.
5. MLB roundup: Dodgers blank Giants on 1 hit to avoid series sweep (statenews.net) — San Francisco Giants fans watched the Dodgers halt a potential sweep at Oracle Park, as Tyler Glasnow dominated with eight shutout innings in a 3–0 loss for the home team.
