victim was exercising. CBS
A's Chris Crowe is live at SDPD
headquarters now with more on
what police are still asking
for from the public here. Chris.
Yeah, good morning.
They're asking for a little bit
more help trying to figure out
exactly what the motive could be.
But right now, 23 year old,
excuse me, Hamala Silva Nusi Patafale
has been arrested and charged.
In this stabbing now police
believe that he's the one who
attacked this 65 year old woman.
The attack took place in the City Heights
neighborhood at that Central Ave.
mini Park.
Now police got the call around 8:30
in the morning that a woman was
found with multiple stab wounds.
They were described as catastrophic.
The woman was reportedly just exercising
before she was attacked and then.
They did see someone leaving
the area on foot.
Those witnesses that called police
now Patafale was arrested last night,
hours after the attack.
When we spoke with police
before he was arrested,
they told us they believe that
this was an isolated incident,
but that residents should
just take normal precautions.
Directly after something like
this happens and As for a motive,
again nothing has been released
so this sort of seemingly random
attacks still very much under
investigation even though Padafale
has been taken into custody now
as you could see we did have that
picture of him after that was released
again and trying to identify him,
but As for a mugshot or any other type of
identifying information other than age,
we are still waiting to hear
maybe a little bit more.
About him as well as that 65 year old victim.

anything about this attack,
you are being asked to call the
San Diego Police Department.

the eastbound lanes of the 78.
They say Ortiz then told her 10 and
16 year old kids to run into the
middle of the highway and get it.
Both kids were hit by a car and
died at the scene.
The driver of the car who
hit them was not arrested.
Their mother faces multiple
charges including DUI,
gross vehicular manslaughter
and child endangerment.

The largest infrastructure project in
San Diego's history was partially shut
down An intersection in University City
Pipeline Construction is underway at La
Jolla Village Drive in Town Center Drive
now for the next two weeks out here,
traffic at this intersection will
be impacted by this construction.
The Pure Water Project will produce
millions of gallons of drinking water a day.
By cleaning wastewater,
it will cut down the need for
imported water and eventually provide
half of San Diego's water supply.
Construction is set to wrap
up around July 2nd.
Until then, though,
the city recommends using the five to get to
University City instead of the eight O 5.

driver strike came to an end.
MTS here saying that the South
Bay routes do not have service,

submarine that went missing at the
bottom of the Northern Atlantic.
the US Coast Guard has confirmed that
five people were on board the vessel,
which explores the wreckage of the Titanic.

The US Coast Guard is leading the
desperate multinational search for
submersible that disappeared deep
into the North Atlantic Sunday.
Officials say it lost communication
about an hour and a half into its dive
to explore the wreckage of the Titanic.
It is a challenge to conduct
a search in that remote area.
But we are deploying all available assets.
The minivan sized vessel named Titan has
enough oxygen to last for about four days.
It's owned and operated by Ocean Gate,
a company that takes tourists
on deep sea explorations for a
quarter $1,000,000 price tag.
CBS Sunday Morning correspondent
David Pogue got an up close look
at the watercraft over a year ago.
There is no radio and no
GPS that works underwater.
So you really are on your own
when you're in this thing.
British billionaire and explorer
Hamish Harding is believed to
be among those on the mission.
According to his recent social
media posts and family members,
Hamish is larger than life.
Harding's friend Yanika Mickelson has
gone on expeditions with him in the past.
She says that she spoke with
him before he left.
The last thing I said to him was Godspeed
and I wished him luck with his dive.
Reuters reports that the Pakistani
businessman Shazada Dawood and his
son may also be on the mission.
Getting a statement from their
family, Jared Hill, CBS News
Ocean Gate said in a statement that
its entire focus is on the crew members
in the submarine and their families,
and the company is working toward
the safe return of all crew members.
Big outside here on this Tuesday.
How is the forecast shaping up?
More cloud coverage at the coast?
Let me guess,
you are correct. However, it's less
cloud cover than what we saw yesterday.
So there's something to run with here.
And the reason why is because those onshore
winds that we saw very gusty yesterday,
strong onshore winds are
starting to weaken a bit.
So today and tomorrow as those winds weaken,
we'll see two things happen.
We'll see fewer clouds on hand.
And we'll also see slightly
warmer temperatures on hand too.
This afternoon we have more 70s in the mix,
71 along the coast, 75 inland.
By the time we get to tomorrow afternoon,
we're expecting to see a couple
low 80s toward our eastern valleys.
So it's going to be a pretty
comfortable very summer like day
everywhere east of the coast.
But along the coast we're still mostly
cooler than average with that dense
layer of clouds sticking around.
Clouds are still quite.
Widespread right now there in some cases,
as you move farther off toward the east,
a little more patchy and that cloud
cover is not stretching as Far East
as it did for previous mornings.
And that's again because of
that weakening onshore flow.
So you will start to see a little
bit of blue peeking through very mild
start to the morning compared to what
the last 6-8 weeks have brought us.
And then take a look at Santee and El Cajon.
These are your forecast highs
for this afternoon.
There's a good chance that
with that weakening onshore
flow that tomorrow afternoon.
We'll see even more warming and that
could bring spots like Santee and El
Cajon to the 80s tomorrow along the coast.
We're still going to stay in the 60s.
La Jolla PB Perfect examples 66 and
68 degrees. Head up to North County.
Oceanside is going to peak at 73.
Fallbrook Vista and San Marcos 73 and Poway,
Escondido,
Rancho Bernardo all making their way
to 75 degrees for that afternoon high.
Across the mountains, again,
pretty comfortable.
Plenty of sunshine this afternoon,
still watching out for some blowing dust.
There are air quality alerts off to the
east of us, toward Imperial County,
but not for San Diego County.
And that is because those winds
are still very gusty at times,
just not quite as active.
As yesterday it is 609 and let's take
