Coming up next, active duty
troops are deployed to our border
as more migrants try to seek asylum in
the US With title 42 set to expire, the
27 year old who died from heat exhaustion
while hiking here at the El Capitan
Preserve and Lakeside has been identified in
Northern California.
1/3 stabbing attack rattles nerves
and puts people on alert in Davis.
And when a dog gets passed over
at the animal shelter, sometimes they just
need a new look.
CBS8 News Live at six starts now.
The Biden administration is sending
1500 more troops to the southern
border to help with an expected
surge of migrants when Title 42
expires next week. Good evening.
I'm Jesse Pagan in for Carlo Chicano.
I'm Marcella Lee. Today at the
border just West of San Ysidro,
hundreds of migrants lined up.
You see these lines waiting to claim asylum.
CBS8's David Gottferson spoke to people
right through the border wall who
said they have been waiting for days
with little food
to keep them going.
This was what it looked like
this morning along the border
just West of San Ysidro.
Hundreds of migrants waiting
in line to be allowed into the
United States to claim asylum.
People from all over the world,
exhausted from their long journeys,
lying on the ground just a
few feet from the border.
Border Patrol agents are providing water.
But these migrants from the Democratic
Republic of Congo in Africa told
me they haven't eaten in days,
has been five days now we don't.
We don't eat men.
They don't want their faces shown on
television for fear it might hurt their
chances to get into the United States.
Well, we've got more problem here because
we are more than 100 people here.
No one is eating men and we are men.
We have to eat something so
that we can be efficient.
Title 42,
which allowed US agents to
turn away asylum seekers at the
border due to the pandemic,
is set to expire next week.
But because of the large numbers of
migrants already lining up at the border,
Customs and Border Protection has
already started loading people in
the buses and transporting them to
Border Patrol stations to be processed.
I followed this bus to the Imperial
Beach Border Patrol station.
Where I could see dozens of people
waving at me from inside the bus.
Once they arrive they will undergo
credible fear interviews to determine
if they qualify for asylum hearings
because of persecution or fear
of harm in their home countries.
We need to be received.
By the US because we come
from trouble places,
so there's a lot of violence.
Photojournalist
Jay Erdman is helping translate
for this group of men from
Colombia who said they flew from
Bogota to Mexico City and then
took a bus to the Tijuana border.
They say Border Patrol agents are
allowing women and children to
cross into the US, but not men.
So Border Patrol told us this
morning to line up here and wait.
And we've been here for some hours,
but nothing's happened if Danko his.
They can't fit us in the shelters
right now, so we have to wait.
Customs and Border Protection
sent us a statement.
They are using all available
resources to handle this surge
of migrants at the border.
They also said
criminal background checks
are done on everybody
who is taken into custody for
processing just West of San Ysidro
at the international
border. David Gotfordson, CBS8
All right, David. Thank you.
The County Board of Supervisors
decided today there will be a special
election to fill Nathan Fletcher seat.
Fletcher is set to resign from
his seat on May 15th following
allegations of sexual misconduct.
The board's decision came after
hours of public comment today.
Supervisors had the option of
appointing a person to fill the
seat or hold a special election.
We spoke with Chairwoman Nora
Vargas about representation in
District 4 until the election.
It's really important to emphasize
that the staff of District
4 continue to come in here and work
every day they are doing the work.
The special election is set for August
15th and could cost close to $5 million.
If a candidate does not receive
more than 50% of the vote,
there would be a runoff election
between the two top contenders,
and that wouldn't happen until November.
A man arrested in a cold case killing
from nearly 30 years ago has pleaded
guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
59 year old Jesus Jesse Velasquez Ayala
will face 12 years in state prison
when he is sentenced later this month.
He was arrested last year for
stabbing 54 year old Dolores Rabaya
to death in her home in Oceanside.
Her body was found on New
Year's Day back in 1994.
Police say Ayala and Rabaya had
been seen together the night before.
Celebrating New Year's Eve at a
bar on the South Coast Highway,
the case was reopened in 2015.
A reexamination of forensic evidence
is what led to Ayala's arrest.
Two of California's indigenous tribes are
declaring a state of emergency because
of missing and murder tribal members.
As CBS Eight's political
reporter Morgan Reiner tells us,
lawmakers are focusing on what more the
state needs to do to help the tribes.
One of the bills everyone
spoke about today is a B44,
which would give Native American tribes
access to law enforcement databases.
Because right now they say
there's a lack of communication
and sometimes confusion over who
investigates murders and missing
people on Native American land.
This is Emily Renee Risling.
She has not been seen
since October 14th, 2021
as a result of Emily's disappearance
and other cases of violence.
Including suspected attempts at
trafficking Your Rock Chairman Joe
James and his counsel declared
a state of emergency. The Round
Valley Indian Tribes declared a
state of emergency in April after
two members were found murdered.
Homicide is the leading cause of death for
indigenous women between ages 15. And 24
Assemblymember James Ramos is
the chair of the Legislative
Native American Caucus.
He's working with tribe
leaders to combat the crisis.
Provide parity between our tribal
police and California law enforcement.
Chairperson Janet K Bill of the Chuk
Chaunsi Indian says more funding is key to
prevention and intervention initiatives.
That protect our most vulnerable from the
predators who prey on their vulnerabilities.
Democrats and Republicans
say they are listening. As
a former prosecutor, I was a little
embarrassed that I was unaware of
it and the staggering statistics
of violence plaguing the Native
American people. I come here as
a listener, but I also come as a fighter.
And one thing that I've heard today
was that there's been a lot of pain
and suffering. That ends today.
Today marks the first of several events
this week at the Capitol to honor the
missing and murdered indigenous people.
Starting tonight, the Capitol will
be lit up in red, and tomorrow
there will be a vigil on the steps.
Thanks, Morgan. Tonight we know the
name of a 27 year old man who died on
the El Capitan hiking trail. Friends
of Sandy Hill, the Hassu Santiago
Sufi called for help on Sunday,
but it was too late before an
emergency helicopter could get there.
CBS8's Brian White is in Lakeside
at the El Capitan trailhead with
how experts say you can stay safe.
Yeah, Marcella, Jesse.
Apparently Sergio told his
friends he wasn't feeling well,
possibly suffering from heat exhaustion,
and I talked with a number of hikers
out here today about what they do to
prepare for a trail like this one.
This was the scene Sunday evening at
the bottom of the El Capitan trailhead.
You can see sheriff's deputies on scene
investigating the death of 27 year
old Sergio de Jesus Santiago Sufi,
whose friends call for help
around 6:30 in the evening.
The first thought is sadness
for the hiker and the family.
Because a loss like that,
particularly at that age,
is, is really difficult
right now. An official cause of
death has not been determined,
but Sergio is said to have been
showing signs of heat exhaustion. It
happens a lot. I mean, you've got I
used to live in Arizona and Camelback
would have a couple fatalities a year.
Mike Baker is a runner and says he's made
some mistakes out here at El Capitan
Before when I did this the first time,
I did not bring enough
water and felt it and so.
Yeah, being prepared matters.
Today he's running up to the top and he's
not going to make that same mistake again.
I'm going to be out for three hours,
2 1/2 hours. I have way more
than enough water that I need.
Got some sunscreen?
Those are the important things. And
Debbie Abruzzo from Lakeside has
been hiking this trail for two years.
She shared some helpful tips.
It's also nice to have kind of a wet rag.
Sometimes we even freeze it and put it
around our necks. And that helps also.
Before Mike Duhigg hopped on his mountain
bike for ride on the trail, he put on
plenty of sunscreen and drink water too.
I tend to run a little dehydrated,
but I always carry water and usually
try to ride with someone else.
Carrying extra water doesn't cost you very
much and it may end up saving your life.
David Lipsitz runs the San Diego
Hiking Society Facebook page and he
shared what he calls the 10 Essentials
navigation some some form of
light protection from the sun.
And have something to take care of.
First aid, having a knife or a multi tool,
being able to create or start
a fire shelter is a good idea.
Then extra food, extra water, extra clothes.
Now you guys. Another interesting
thing David mentioned was how younger
people sometimes don't recognize
the signs of heat exhaustion early
enough and may not know when to quit.
So it's important to know that this type
of thing can happen to anyone at any age.
Brian, you know this hiker you
mentioned It was only 27 years old.
He was hiking with his
friends on an overcast day.
Are there signs to look out for it?
To tell people that you are suffering
from heat exhaustion or dehydration?
Yeah, if you're feeling weak,
dizzy, A nauseous,
having any types of headaches,
feeling very thirsty,
these are the signs to look out for.
And if you're feeling that way,
you may want to seek out some
shade and try to cool down any
way you can until help can arrive.
Yeah, I don't try to finish the hike
and make sure you always hike the buddy.
Such a sad case. I don't.
I know we don't know the official
cause of death, but definitely a
reminder for all of us to be prepared.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Brian.
Still ahead tonight, The pill
experts say, could help with binge
drinking. Plus, Hollywood riders walk the
picket line for the first time in 15 years.
What it all means for your favorite shows.
And up next, police investigate
1/3 stabbing attack
near UC Davis.
