Investigators are looking for the driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run on Interstate 5 in National City.

A woman was struck on northbound I-5 at Main and Division after 10 p.m. Wednesday, California Highway Patrol officers confirmed.

The victim has not been identified. There was a car in the area but no known if it belonged to the victim, Officer Jake Sanchez said.

CHP investigators believe the hit-and-run driver was behind the wheel of an SUV that would have sustained heavy damage.

Officers closed down some lanes during the investigation but reopened them for the morning commute.
 

A man with a history of mental illness who attacked three people at a Nashville-area movie theater Wednesday was carrying a propane canister and lighter fluid, authorities said, according to NBC News.

Vincente David Montano, 29, was later killed by police. He was described as a "transient" who had been committed for mental health issues at least four times since 2004. Police are trying to determine a motive.

Montano was armed with the canister of propane and a lighter, an ax, pepper spray, and a pellet gun resembling a semi-automatic pistol, Metro Nashville Police Spokesman Dan Aaron said Thursday.

The propane tank Montano carried had been gashed and the gas escaped. Aaron said there was a "great possibility" that Montano intended to use the canister as an explosive.

A Sarasota flight school has discovered a pair of orange life jackets off the coast of Georgia, a possible breakthrough in the ongoing search for two teens who went missing off the Florida coast in July.

Heli Aviation on Tuesday shared a video on their Facebook page of volunteers retrieving the orange life vests from a sandbar near Savannah. It is unclear whether those life vests are connected to missing boaters Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos.

Search dogs have been sent to Georgia to sniff the life vests for any scent of the boys.  The dogs will also help volunteers sift through the coastline near where the jackets were found in hopes to find more clues.

"It stuck out from the other debris that was around because it was newer and it didn't have as much fade as the other items," said Rachel Trimpe, a volunteer with the flight school.

Cohen and Stephanos, both 14, disappeared while fishing in the Jupiter Inlet on July 24. The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its efforts to find the boys Friday, one week after they went missing. 

Despite the USCG's suspension, the families have continued their search for the boys with the assistance of volunteer crews. 

They have also raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through a GoFundMe Campaign, but stopped accepting donations once reaching their financing goal.

The search for the teens has spanned from Jupiter to Wilmington, North Carolina.

A mystery for San Diego County Sheriff's detectives presented itself Thursday night as they investigated a Lemon Grove shooting with no known victim or gunman — at least for now.

It was a very scary moment for the families that live in the 3500 block of West Street.

A call for help at 4:40 p.m. indicated multiple gunshots and one man hit. Sheriff's deputies certainly found evidence of that: two homes with bullet holes in them and shell casings that spread to the North Street intersection. The crime scene spanned nearly one block, and deputies soon discovered blood.

“There is blood in multiple locations,” Sgt. Michelle McPhail said.

Investigators said the shooting started in the driveway of 3562 West Street. The homeowner, who declined an on-camera interview, said he heard five shots, but when he went outside, he saw no one.

A neighbor, who did not wish to be identified, said he called 911 and then talked with the victim. The young man told him he was shot in the hand, and then he fled through the caller's backyard.

Deputies searched several blocks surrounding the scene. They suited up in tactical gear, searched three houses but came up empty-handed. No victim, no suspect, no crime? Not exactly, detectives said.

“We collect the evidence, write up the crime report, turn it over to detectives as a miscellaneous incident right now in case later on, a victim shows up at the hospital and we can put the two together,” McPhail said.

That is investigators' best hope of solving this crime. They have blood samples from this scene to test, and they notified area hospitals, should someone show up with an unexplained gunshot wound to the hand.

If you know about this incident, call the sheriff's non-emergency line at 858-565-5200. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 and be eligible for up to $1000 for information leading to an arrest.

The Port of San Diego serves as a landlord to the businesses along the water's edge of San Diego Bay, but folks don't always agree about how that land should be used.

From the Convention Center to the marinas, hotels and restaurants, the Port of San Diego collects rent from its tenants and must approve all construction projects and developments. The board of port commissioners – made up of delegates from San Diego, Coronado, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista and National City – calls the shots on which businesses get prime spots. And now, commissioners face some big decisions that could affect the region for years to come.

On this week's San Diego Explained, NBC 7's Catherine Garcia and Ashly McGlone lay out what hangs in the balance for the Convention Center expansion, a major vehicle importer and the port itself.

Friends of a man killed in a car crash honored his memory with a slow lap cruise in their hot rods.

The Ramona American Graffiti Club drove their cars down Main Street to raise money for Mike Gharring’s funeral.

Gharring, 48, died Sunday night after his 1932 Ford Roadster swerved off the road along State Route 67.

“We came up with the thought of raising some money for a nice flower arrangement to be sent to his services from the hot rod, the car community “ Holly Ansman, a friend of Gharring told NBC7.

Dozens of people turned out for the event, any extra money raised will go to local charity in Ramona.

Gharring was from El Cajon and worked in his family’s business, overseeing operations at Southland Envelope in Lakeside. 

A suspected tornado tore through a Wal-Mart and a neighboring sports outlet in Troy, Alabama, flipping trucks and tractor-trailers in the parking lot and injuring at least five people late Thursday, NBC News reported.

"We heard a loud noise," Walmart employee Sarah Brookins told the Troy Messenger. "All of a sudden the wind was blowing in the store. We saw dust blowing through the door."

Two of those injured were inside the store when the storm struck while a third was in a truck that was overturned, Mayor Jason Reeves said. A total of three people were taken to a local hospital, Reeves added.

The Junior Seau Foundation has given $500,000 to Rady Children’s Hospital to grow a pediatric urgent care center in the legendary linebacker’s hometown of Oceanside.

The Junior Seau Foundation Urgent Care Center will be located in the WebMD Pavilion at Rady Children’s North Coastal Center.

Ben Metcalf, a spokesman for Rady Children’s Hospital, has said the donation will help increase the capacity of the existing urgent care center in Oceanside, which is the Rady’s fastest growing urgent care center.

“With the help of the Foundation, we will be able to make the existing space more efficient and user-friendly, thereby allowing us to see more patients every day,” Metcalf said.

The foundation’s pledge comes just days before Junior Seau’s induction in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Considered one of the greatest linebackers of all time, Junior Seau grew up in Oceanside and played for the San Diego Chargers for 13 years. He was selected to the Pro Bowl 12 times during his NFL career.

“We are thrilled to have the support of a Foundation that, above all else, is dedicated to helping children,” Dr. Donald Kearns, President and CEO of Rady Children’s Hospital San-Diego, said in a statement. “This gift serves to further foster the vision and legacy that Junior Seau had vigorously promoted for his hometown community.”

The Oceanside facility also has the Sanford Children’s Clinic and other Rady services, such as developmental services, outpatient psychiatry and child abuse prevent and treatment.

A Northern California police officer who was caught on video drawing his gun on a man who was not accused of a crime has been placed on temporary paid administrative leave, Rohnert Park city officials said Thursday.

"The city truly believes in community-oriented policing and deeply values the relationship between law enforcement and our community. The incident portrayed on the video is not a typical interaction between our public safety officers and the public," Assistant City Manager Don Schwartz said in a statement.

In a Facebook post dated July 29, Rohnert Park resident Don McComas said he was in his driveway securing his boat to the back of his SUV when a police officer drove slowly past his house, stopped, then circled around and returned.

At that point, McComas pulled out his cellphone and began recording.

In the video, the unidentified officer’s vehicle is seen driving towards McComas before stopping in front of his house. The officer then sits inside his SUV for nearly two minutes, and at one point, appears to be taking a picture of McComas with his own camera.

As McComas approaches the patrol car to record the license place number, the officer exits the vehicle and tells him to take his hands out of his pockets.

“No, sir. I’ve done nothing. I’ve done absolutely nothing. No,” McComas responds.

That is when the police officer unholsters his firearm and points it at McComas, who asks him to "put the gun down." The video shows McComas backing away while repeatedly saying "do not touch me" and asserting he did nothing wrong and did not have a weapon.

Schwartz said the city is bringing in an independent outside investigator to conduct a full review of the incident.

"In evaluating any complaint against an officer we need to be sure proper procedures are followed and the investigator will assist us in this regard," Schwartz said.

In addition to the independent investigation, the city also is conducting an internal investigation on the incident.

A previously planned meeting the city organized to help people and police build relationships was canceled because the city received threats after the controversial video was posted online.

"We canceled that event because we received some indication some folks from outside the community might use it as an opportunity to create a disturbance," Schwartz said.

Sources previously told NBC Bay Area the officer was in the area because police received a complaint about parking.

McComas has declined to comment on the incident and has hired an attorney, Daniel Beck.

The attorney on Thursday said he plans to file a civil rights lawsuit against the city and its police department.

"What we have here is a situation where an individual was in his driveway hitching his boat, not doing anything and minding his own business," Beck said. "What we're saying is no more. No more guns used unnecessarily."

A United Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles declared a "midair emergency" and made an emergency landing at London's Heathrow Airport on Friday after "sparks" were noticed in the first class cabin. 

Flight UA935 landed at Heathrow Airport at 12:33 p.m. local time (7:33 a.m. ET).

"The captain announced that there were some sparks coming from two of the first-class seats," Ralph McLaughlin, who was aboard the Boeing 777 when it turned back while flying over Scotland, told NBC News. "I didn't see it because I'm in economy, but now the plane has landed I can smell some electrical smoke."

United spokesman Kevin Johnston said the plane returned "shortly after take-off because of a mechanical issue."

A service dog is being hailed a hero after she jumped into action and saved her blind owner’s life by alerting authorities to a house fire in Philadelphia Thursday morning.

The fire started inside a home on the 4300 block of Oakmont Street in the city’s Holmesburg section. Fire officials say the homeowner, a woman in her 60’s who is blind, was inside at the time. The woman’s service dog Yolanda immediately dialed 911 on a specialized phone.

Firefighters responded to the scene and controlled the blaze. The woman was taken to Nazareth Hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.

It wasn’t the first time Yolanda saved her owner’s life. Jen Leary, the founder of the Red Paw Emergency Relief Team, told NBC10 Yolanda also called 911 last year when her owner fell down inside her home and lost consciousness.

Yolanda and her owner were both displaced by the blaze and are being assisted by the Red Paw and the Red Cross.

Grieving relatives of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 passengers scuffled with police, cried and crawled along the sidewalk Friday during an angry protest outside the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing, NBC News reported. 

The anger stems from mixed messages from Malaysia and French officials over whether debris a wing part found on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion last month belonged to MH370. While Malaysia has said they confirmed the part were indeed from Flight MH370 that disappeared in March 8 of 2014, France could only "strongly presume" a connection. 

"I can't trust them," Wang Wing Lei, whose parents were aboard the jetliner, told NBC News. "This is not the first time they get the wrong news … Why? You tell me why?" 

Dai Shuqin, another protester whose sister was on board the flight, refused to believe the find was connected to MH370.

"These findings are fake," Dai said. "This is a conspiracy. Everything is fake."

Local taxpayers spent more than $81,000 for three months of consulting work by a New York law firm that is helping the city and county's effort to keep the Chargers in San Diego.

Documents obtained Thursday by NBC 7 Investigates reveal the cost of legal work performed in April, May and June by the Nixon Peabody law firm.

Copies of the firm’s bills, obtained thought the California Public Records Act, show Nixon Peabody was paid $17,100 in fees for “legal advice in connection with potential football stadium” in April, plus $514 in expenses. The firm’s attorneys, who have experience in sports, construction and public project law, charge $500 an hour for their expertise.

Nixon Peabody charged taxpayers an almost identical amount ($17,620) in fees and expenses for services rendered in May.

The law firm’s June bill was considerably higher, with consulting fees more than doubling to $35,957. Attorney Christopher Melvin, who represented the city in negotiations with the Chargers (before the team walked away from the table) and who continues to help the city and county present their case to the NFL, billed taxpayers for 60.75 hours of work, at $500 an hour. Three other Nixon Peabody attorneys billed a total of 11.2 hours, also at $500 hour.

Nixon Peabody’s June bill also includes reimbursement for almost $10,000 in expenses for several months, including air travel, taxis, hotels and parking. The attorneys have traveled to San Diego from their offices in New York and Los Angeles several times for face-to-face meetings on the stadium effort.

The law firm is being paid from a $500,000 fund established jointly by the San Diego City Council and the County board of supervisors. Councilmembers and supervisors each approved the expenditure of $250,000 in taxpayer money to pay consultants and advisers for their expertise on efforts to build a new Chargers stadium in Mission Valley.

Supervisors this week approved an additional $500,000 to cover future payments for consultants, if needed, with the understanding that that money can be spent only if the Chargers resume negotiations. For a full breakdown of the local government's investment, see the infographic below.

County taxpayers are also paying a San Francisco-based attorney, Michael Zischke, for his expertise in environmental law. A county spokesman said the county has not yet received any bills yet from Zischke for his work on the stadium project, but said the county will release a copy of Zischke’s invoices when it receives them.

Nixon Peabody and Zischke are working for less than their normal hourly rates for this job. Attorneys at major U.S. law firms routinely charge private clients $800 an hour or more, but generally reduce those fees considerably for government contract work.

The consulting firm Citi Group is also advising on the stadium project, but the company is not paid for consulting and is only reimbursed for expenses. (Citi Group would be paid by a commission on any financial package it helps the city and county assemble, if a new stadium is eventually built.)

Nixon Peabody is expected to bill the city and county for substantial amounts for work done in July and August.

The firm’s attorneys prepared for, and traveled to, a meeting in San Diego on July 28 with representatives of the NFL.

Nixon Peabody is also expected to play an important role in the city and county’s Aug. 10 presentation to NFL owners in Chicago.

Michael Zischke, the environmental law expert, is also expected to bill taxpayers a significant amount for his work on the stadium Environmental Impact Report, which is a crucial and very contested aspect of the effort to build a new Mission Valley stadium. Zischke is being paid $565 per hour, plus expenses, for his consulting services.

A hash oil lab and marijuana grow were discovered inside two homes in La Mesa Thursday, according to federal officials. The illegal operation was taking place just two doors down from an in-home day care and preschool.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Narcotics Task Force (NTF) served a search warrant on Harbinson Avenue, south of El Cajon Boulevard and east of 70th Street.

DEA officials say they found a “sophisticated closed loop system to extract hash oil” along with approximately 250 marijuana plants located inside two homes on one parcel of land.

This operation was larger than most marijuana grows and more high tech, according to one DEA agent who asked not to be identified.

The suspects had tanks of butane, an odorless, colorless and highly flammable gas that could have killed or hurt a large number of people, the agent said. Even a little static on clothing could have caused it to ignite.

Any mishap could do harm to an entire neighborhood as compared to an explosion inside a meth lab, which can injure or kill the person using the equipment, he said.

So crews with the La Mesa Fire Department and San Diego County HazMat were called in to help shut down the system safely.

Agents say they seized a “large amount” of hash oil and a number of clone plants.

Three people were taken into custody. Their names have not been released. One vehicle was impounded.

The Center for Young Imaginations, a day care, is operated out of a home just two doors away. One of the employees told NBC 7 her family has lived in the area for many years and news of this type of thing in that community was shocking.

"Fabulous neighborhood," said assistant director Julie Wolfe. "Just a lot of families that live here. My own family lived here for 28 year. My kids grew up here. It's just a nice, quiet neighborhood in La Mesa. Everybody loves it here. We love it. Love working here."

Wolfe stayed calm about the situation, but did say when it started, parents were very concerned about their children's safety.

Another resident, Desiree Guillen, told NBC 7 it is scary to think a production like this was going on near her home.

"You know, we're trying to see what's going on and get the scoop," she said. "I like thought it was a nice neighborhood. It's residential. It's like a residential pocket, looks cute and all. But you never know."

Agents said it's nearly impossible to tell if a hash oil is operating out of the home next to you because butane is odorless and colorless.

Quick-thinking bystanders knocked out a couple of spot fires that sparked along State Route 125 in La Mesa Friday morning, officials confirmed.

The small fires ignited just before 8 a.m. at northbound SR-125 near Spring Street.

When fire crews arrived, they found a couple of extinguished spot fires that had been put out by passersby traveling along the freeway.

Firefighters remained on scene as a precaution checking the area for any other possible spot fires.

The incident is under investigation.

Three people were arrested on child cruelty charges Friday after a child with special needs was found in a makeshift cage at a Georgia home, authorities told NBC News.

A second cage was discovered on the property during a welfare check and is believed to have been used for a second child at the home, the Murray County, Georgia, sheriff's office said.

The three suspects also face false-imprisonment charges, and one was charged with possession of methamphetamine.

The family of an Escondido man killed in a DUI crash in Bonsall says the victim was a devoted father, grandfather and rancher passionate about working hard and doing things the right way.

“That’s the way we’ll remember him: hard worker, always being there with family,” Gustavo Monsalvo told NBC 7, referring to his grandfather, Juan Corza Gonzalez, 62.

“[His loss to our family] is indescribable at the moment. We’re still – we know it’s real, but we don’t want to accept that it’s real,” Monsalvo added.

Gonzalez was killed in a crash on Old Highway 395 just before 5:30 a.m. Wednesday when suspected drunk driver Garrett Gelrud, 34, drifted across the double yellow lines as he approached a curve on the rural stretch of road just north of Lilac Road.

Gelrud slammed his Chevy Suburban head-on into Gonzalez’s Nissan Versa, the impact killing Gonzalez at the scene, California Highway Patrol (CHP) officials confirmed.

An Escondido couple witnessed the wreck as they drove on Old Highway 395, but they could not avoid striking the back of Gonzalez’s Nissan. The couple sustained minor injuries.

Gelrud – suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol – fled the scene of the deadly crash on foot. Just after 6 a.m., CHP officials received calls from citizens reporting Gelrud walking barefoot down the road.

Minutes later, Gelrud was detained by officials at a nearby gas station. He was arrested and charged with suspicion of felony DUI, vehicular manslaughter and felony hit-and-run, officials said.

The sudden loss of Gonzalez at the hands of a suspected drunk driver was a complete shock to his loved ones.

The victim’s daughter, Maricela Solis-Gonzalez, told NBC 7 the phone call the family received from authorities after the deadly crash was gut-wrenching.

“You get that phone call that your dad is gone because someone was drunk,” she said. “My first reaction was, ‘I hope he [the DUI suspect] burns in hell.’”

“It's not going to bring my dad back, but I hope justice is there so there's not someone out there who can destroy other families," Solis-Gonzalez added.

For Monsalvo, news of his grandfather’s death was also difficult to comprehend.

“It was just hard receiving the news,” he said, fighting back tears. “It’s hard knowing [alcohol] was the main factor to why my grandfather isn’t here.”

Family members said Gonzalez was on his way to work at the Marquart Ranch in the North County at the time of the accident.

They said he loved his job and the ranch was a major part of his life.

Wendy Marquart Silvester is the daughter of Doug Marquart, the owner of the avocado ranch. Doug was too upset to speak about the death of his friend Thursday, but Silvester told NBC 7 Gonzalez was an extremely dedicated rancher.

Silvester said Gonzalez started the ranch as a foreman alongside Doug and the Marquart family in 1978. She said the pair became inseparable, and Gonzalez’s passing has left a huge hole in her family’s heart.

“[My father told me], 'I can't do this ranch without Juan. More importantly, I don't want to do the ranch without Juan,'" said Silvester. “He was [my father’s] brother. The joy of farming is gone for my dad now without him.”

Solis-Gonzalez said her father immigrated to the United States from Mexico in 1977 and immediately began working. He was focused on becoming a legal U.S. citizen and doing everything by the book for his family, she said.

He brought his family to the U.S. in the mid-1980s.

Solis-Gonzalez remembers her father always telling her and her siblings to work hard and do things step-by-step – even if there was a cheaper, easier way to do things.

She said he would remind his children often that everything they did in life would either come with a consequence or reward.

Her father also wanted his children to teach their children the importance of being respectful.

“He barely knew how to read and write, but he taught us way more than any teacher ever could. He taught us about family values, and respect and work ethic," said Solis-Gonzalez.

Gonzalez is survived by four children – two adult daughters and two adult sons – and 11 grandchildren.

On Thursday, the family gathered at a home in the North County to grieve together, waiting on more extended family members to arrive from Mexico.

Monsalvo said he and the older grandkids would band together and be strong for his aunt and uncles.

“We have to be strong – so we don’t break them even more,” he said.

The accident is under investigation.

The DUI suspect was booked into the Vista Detention Facility. He's scheduled to appear in court Friday.
 

San Diego Police arrested a man in connection with a series of pedestrian robberies where the suspect targeted victims with cellphones.

Officers identified Damar Chattman as the suspect in the July and August robberies. After searching his home, detectives said they found incriminating evidence, though they wouldn't detail what that evidence was.

Det. Sgt. Don Williams explained the victims were attacked from behind, then pushed or hit.

The suspect was targeting iPhones 5 and 6 and Samsung Galaxy s6, according to Williams, and the muggings occurred on Landis Street, Adams Avenue and El Cajon Boulevard.

Chattman has been booked into jail on mulitple charges of robbery, one count of grand theft and a probation violation.

Police have also linked Chattman to three additional crimes, but he has not been booked on those charges, so Williams could not comment on them.

The investigation is ongoing.
