The three are Miguel Angel Sanchez-Ramirez, 44, and Charles Ray Blackmon, 65 — both of Oakland — and Robert Dixon, 64, from Sacramento, the Coroner’s Office reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also Wednesday, Alameda County District Attorney District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson said a 17-year-old suspect has been charged with multiple crimes related to the crash.<\/p>\n

Jones Dickson was vague about the exact charges because the suspect is a juvenile but Oakland Police Chief James Beere said Monday that the boy was facing several charges, including vehicular manslaughter.<\/p>\n
Beere said the boy crashed into a group of pedestrians at the intersection of 85th Avenue and International Boulevard at about 11:15 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n
Three people died at the scene and three others were taken to the hospital, where one remains in critical condition, one was in stable condition Monday and one has been released.<\/p>\n
Two other pedestrians suffered minor injuries and the driver was treated for minor injuries at the hospital prior to being arrested.<\/p>\n

Last summer, paddlers who pulled their boats onto a wet strip of sand near Forestville in Sonoma County were met by private security guards and signs telling them to leave.<\/p>\n
The fight wasn’t new. It was the latest round of an old Russian River argument: where does private property end, where does the public’s right to be on the river begin, and who — if anyone — is going to walk down to the beach and sort it out?<\/p>\n
This summer, the same fight is set to start up again. And for the next 20 days, the state agency with the clearest say over California’s rivers is asking the public what to do about it.<\/p>\n

Bottled water deliveries for the remaining households are expected to continue through May 27 to help residents transition back to normal service. Temporary lodging, meal and incidental payments, and shower access will continue through Wednesday, with hotel checkout available through Thursday, city officials said.<\/p>\n
The contamination began on April 24 when some cement slurry mix came into contact with a live water main near Bonita Avenue and Cuesta Drive during work by a private contractor hired by the city.<\/p>\n

A death over the weekend initially investigated as suspicious in Richmond is now believed to have been caused by a solo-vehicle crash, police said early Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
The Richmond Police Department said detectives used their Flock Safety camera system and found video that appeared to show a vehicle entering the water near Canal Boulevard at about 1 a.m. Saturday. Police then requested help from the San Francisco Police Department Marine Unit, the Oakland Police Department Marine Unit and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team.<\/p>\n
Crews located a submerged vehicle. Dive teams, including volunteers from California Recovery Divers, helped recover the vehicle and confirmed there were no other occupants inside, police said.<\/p>\n

The 11 sites on the list all receive a one-time grant of $25,000 from the trust. The grant and visibility are intended to jump-start local campaigns to restore the sites.<\/p>\n
According to Edward Tepporn, executive director of the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, the grant will be used for a campaign to help renovate the site’s outdoor terraces. He said the foundation has made progress on preserving the barracks and a hospital building.<\/p>\n
