Weather forecast:
1. Kaiser Permanente San Leandro Maintains 'A' Safety Grade From Watchdog Group (patch.com) — San Leandro residents can take note that Kaiser Permanente San Leandro Medical Center has again earned an A grade for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group, while San Leandro Hospital improved to a B. The report highlights strong performance in areas like billing ethics and medication safety, but also points to room for improvement in health equity and informed consent, offering a nuanced picture of local hospital care.
2. Coroner Identifies Teen Fatally Ejected From Car On San Leandro Freeway (patch.com) — San Leandro drivers are learning more about a tragic hit-and-run on I-880, where a 16-year-old passenger was ejected from a BMW and fatally struck by a box truck. Authorities have identified her as Emily Ruby Flores Galicia and say the 19-year-old BMW driver, later arrested, may have been under the influence when the crash happened.
3. San Leandro settles lawsuit with former city manager (eastbaytimes.com) — San Leandro has agreed to pay former city manager Fran Robustelli $335,000 to resolve her lawsuit alleging harassment after she resisted a fast-tracked tiny homes proposal. The settlement follows ex-councilmember Bryan Azevedo’s guilty plea in a federal corruption case tied to Evolutionary Homes and efforts to steer city contracts, raising ongoing questions about ethics at City Hall.
4. ‘I have a daughter, bro': Two charged in East Bay robberies through online jewelry sales (mercurynews.com) — Residents should know that a July 2024 armed robbery targeting an online jewelry seller in San Leandro has led to felony charges against two Oakland men, who are also accused in a similar San Lorenzo case. Investigators say license plate readers and a sheriff’s helicopter helped track a suspect vehicle, and both men are now out on bail while a preliminary hearing in the San Leandro case is still pending.
5. Roundup: Carrillo wins doubles title in tennis; lacrosse, boys volleyball playoffs start (pressdemocrat.com) — San Leandro High’s boys volleyball team, seeded No. 1 in Division 3 of the North Coast Section playoffs, swept Sonoma Valley 3–0 to advance after Tuesday’s opening round. The wider roundup also highlights North Bay tennis champions and other volleyball and lacrosse playoff results that could intersect with San Leandro in later rounds.
