Sheriff's officials said Friday that all three escaped inmates were spotted in the San Jose area, likely using the white GMC van that was stolen from South Los Angeles last Saturday.

A manager at the Alameda Motel in San Jose on Friday said he believed all three inmates stayed at his motel on Tuesday and Wednesday, before leaving Thursday morning.

One of them, Bac Duong, 43, of Santa Ana, apparently made it back to the Santa Ana area on his own, and he surrendered to authorities Friday morning, said Orange County Sheriff's Department Lt. Jeff Hallock.

After Duong was captured, sheriff's deputies surrounded a used car dealership near the site of the arrest. Aerial video showed law enforcement officers with guns drawn in the lot, looking into vehicles and large sheds on the Tripoli Auto Sales property.

It was not immediately clear whether authorities believe the remaining two fugitives are on the lot, but no additional arrests were reported early Friday afternoon.

Duong disappeared from the Central Men's Jail early Jan. 22, along with Jonathan Tieu,  20, of Fountain Valley, and Hossein Nayeri, 37, of Newport Beach.

Duong was taken into custody Friday after he approached someone on a Santa Ana street and asked to contact police, said OC Sheriff Sandra Hutchens. Le Tran told NBC4 News that he saw Duong smoking a cigarette as he waited for authorities to arrest him at the Tran family's Auto Electric Rebuilders shop on Harbor Boulevard. He said he does not know how Duong got to the shop, but that his sister knew Duong and might have visited him while he was in jail.

Duong was arrested at about 11:30 a.m. Friday, Hutchens said. She did not provide details regarding the encounter with the "civilian," but authorities confirmed Duong was located in the 1400 block of North Harbor Boulevard.

Nayeri had been in custody since September 2014, Tieu  since October 2013 and Duong since December.

Duong allegedly shot a man Nov. 18, 2015 after an argument on the patio of a Santa Ana home. He was charged with one felony count of attempted murder, one felony count of assault with a firearm, one felony count of first-degree residential burglary, one felony count of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or house, one felony count of assault with a firearm with sentencing enhancements for the personal use of a firearm, personal discharge of a firearm and great bodily injury.

He was being held without bail on an immigration hold pending a possible federal deportation hearing.

Duong also faces sentencing enhancements for a prior strike conviction for first-degree burglary in 1995 in San Diego County, prior prison convictions for second-degree burglary in 2007, reckless evading of a peace officer in 2008 and possession for sale of a controlled substance in 2011. Prior to the escape, Duong was scheduled for a pretrial hearing on Feb. 8.

The arrest comes after news of a teacher at Central Men's Jail in Orange County, who had a "significant role" in the planning of the jailbreak. The 44-year-old Lake Forest woman was arrested Thursday on suspicion of accessory to a felony in helping the inmates escape from lockup in downtown Santa Ana.

She allegedly provided the men with Google Earth maps of the jail complex, according to investigators. One of the escaped inmates, Nayeri, took her class at the Central Men's Jail and developed a relationship with her, said Orange County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock.

Hallock said around 10 people have been arrested since the escape a week  ago Friday. Several other arrests — for unrelated warrants or probation issues — have also taken place during the manhunt. Hallock said investigators believe the escaped inmates stole a white GMC Savana utility van in the South Los Angeles area on Saturday, and the inmates may be living out of it.

The van has paper license plates from Felix Chevrolet, with plate number 8U66466, although the plates may have been removed and replaced.

The three inmates disappeared after a 5 a.m. body count in the jail, but they were not discovered missing until close to 9 p.m., when the second daily body count was conducted. The made their way to the rooftop, then rappelled down about six stories.

Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said Wednesday she suspects Nayeri was the "mastermind" of the breakout based on his military training in the U.S. Armed  Forces.

The search for the escaped inmates has focused heavily on a Vietnamese gang active in Westminster and Garden Grove.

On Tuesday, the Orange County Board of Supervisors quadrupled the reward  for information that leads to the inmates' recapture, boosting it to $200,000. The FBI and U.S. Marshals Service pledged the initial $50,000.

Nayeri is accused of participating in an attack, including torture, against a Newport Beach resident who ran a licensed marijuana dispensary in Santa Ana. Tieu faces murder and attempted murder charges in connection with a gang hit. Duong faces an attempted murder charge and was being held without  bail on an immigration hold pending a possible federal deportation hearing.

In the vacuum of deep-drill information regarding the Chargers proposed stadium deal with the Rams in Inglewood, NBC 7 can offer this perspective, based on intel from sources close to inside “information pools."

The deal is, for now, an “agreement in principle” – not a done deal, but something that could be refined and must be finalized by further signatures of Rams owner Stan Kroenke and Chargers Chairman Dean Spanos.

Early indications are that the Chargers would be $1 a year tenants and share in stadium revenues, but not equity owners in Kroenke’s building, nor partners in the “ancillary development” – hotels, residential, retail outlets and “L.A.” Live-style additions.

On Friday afternoon, the team’s special counsel Mark Fabiani issued a statement quoting Spanos, in part, as follows:

“Today I decided our team will stay in San Diego for the 2016 season and I hope for the long term in a new stadium. I have met with Mayor Faulconer and Supervisor Roberts and I look forward to working closely with them and the business community to resolve our stadium dilemma. We have an option and an agreement with the Los Angeles Rams to go to Inglewood in the next year, but my focus is on San Diego.”

[[367034391,C]]

In recent weeks, the team has filed a “Los Angeles Chargers” trademark application, removed “San Diego” from certain existing logos, and tied up property in Santa Ana for a practice facility.

Political observers say this latest development gives Spanos leverage to re-open talks with San Diego City and County officials, who have presented a $1.1 billion stadium re-build proposal involving the current Qualcomm Stadium site.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer gave his account of the developments on the Fred Roggin Show, an LA sports radio show. 

Faulconer told Roggin that he and County Supervisor Ron Roberts met with Spanos at his La Jolla home Friday, where Spanos announced his decision to stay in San Diego.

Spanos made it clear that he wants to get a stadium plan done in San Diego, Faulconer said.

"But make no mistake, there's a lot of work that we have to do here in the coming months, but it's one that I'm looking forward to and I think Chargers fans are as well," said the mayor.

Now comes a mad rush to get a stadium plan on the November ballot. The city hopes to meet with the Chargers in the coming days to iron out directions, details and, most importantly, location.

The Chargers have long envisioned a stadium and hybrid convention facility in downtown’s East Village.

"While we've said that, you know, all locations are on the table, and I mean that, it's also very clear that our fastest, most definitive opportunity remains Mission Valley," said Faulconer.

Either way, a serious stadium deal here would have to be ratified by San Diego voters by way of a ballot measure in November.

At the very least, Spanos’ decision gives die-hard Bolts backers reason to hope for a local solution.

But the franchise figures to have to mount a charm offensive to rebuild good faith with taxpayers, and avoid the prospect of a lame-duck season that would kill gate receipts and deter network coverage of games here.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell released the following statement,

"We are very supportive of the decision by Dean Spanos to continue his efforts in San Diego and work with local leaders to develop a permanent stadium solution. NFL ownership has committed $300 million to assist in the cost of building a new stadium in San Diego. I have pledged the league’s full support in helping Dean to fulfill his goal."

The Chargers have reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Rams, but the Bolts will play in San Diego in 2016, the team announced Friday.

This newest development in the Bolts’ stadium scramble comes one day after the San Diego Chargers released a statement announcing plans for an interim headquarters and practice facility in Santa Ana, Calif., in the event they move to Los Angeles.

At 2:50 p.m. PT, the Chargers released the following statement on Facebook from team Chairman Dean Spanos:

"Today I decided our team will stay in San Diego for the 2016 season and I hope for the long term in a new stadium. I have met with Mayor Faulconer and Supervisor Roberts and I look forward to working closely with them and the business community to resolve our stadium dilemma. We have an option and an agreement with the Los Angeles Rams to go to Inglewood in the next year, but my focus is on San Diego.  This has been our home for 55 years, and I want to keep the team here and provide the world-class stadium experience you deserve. Everyone on both sides of the table in San Diego must now determine the best next steps and how to deploy the additional resources provided by the NFL.
I am committed to looking at this with a fresh perspective and new sense of possibility. With deep appreciation for your years of support, Dean A. Spanos."

The NFL had installed a March 23 deadline for the team to make its decision on where it would play the 2016 season so the league could finalize schedules and all the other business of getting ready for the upcoming football season.

Following Spanos' announcement, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell released this statement:

"We are very supportive of the decision by Dean Spanos to continue his efforts in San Diego and work with local leaders to develop a permanent stadium solution. NFL ownership has committed $300 million to assist in the cost of building a new stadium in San Diego. I have pledged the league’s full support in helping Dean to fulfill his goal."

Goodell's statement was soon followed by one from Stan Kroenke, the owner of the Rams, who touched on the fact that there are still decisions to be made: 

“The Los Angeles Rams have reached an agreement with the San Diego Chargers to join us in the new Inglewood Stadium, if they choose to exercise their option to relocate within the next year. We look forward to partnering with the Chargers in Inglewood, but the decision of course is Dean’s to make.”

Before Friday’s major announcement, it appeared as if negotiations between the Chargers and Rams had stalled. The two teams have been trying to come to an agreement on a move that would allow the Chargers to join the Rams in their new NFL stadium in Inglewood.

On Thursday, when asked if the Chargers had entered into a lease-purchase agreement for the land, Chargers Special Counsel Mark Fabiani told NBC 7 there would be no details released regarding the transaction.

Nearly 1,000 residents were left without power in El Cajon early Saturday morning after a driver struck a power pole, knocking out service for hours.

According to authorities, at around 5:20 a.m., a driver in a gold Hyundai crashed into a power pole in the 13000 block of I-8 Business near Los Coches Road. The impact left the pole slanted and visibly damaged.

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) said 958 homes and businesses were left without power as a result of the accident. This included parts of Winter Gardens, Lakeside, Bostonia, Lakeview and Glenview.

The outage began at 6:20 a.m., SDG&E said, and the company expected to have power fully restored by 6 p.m. As of 10 a.m., approximately 458 customers remained without power in the area.

Some roads near the damaged pole were blocked off to traffic while repair crews worked.

SDG&E said the repairs were an all-day job because the pole had to be fully replaced. Crews were also going to replace underground wiring – a “major and main” component in that business area.
 

Two potential methods for a vaccine against the Zika virus could be ready for clinical trials in people by the end of the year, but there will not be a widely available vaccine for several years, experts said this week, NBC News reported.

"It is to our advantage we already have existing vaccine platforms to use as a sort of jumping off point," said Dr. Tony Fauci, head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). 

The NIAID is currently pursuing at least two approaches to a Zika vaccine. The first being a DNA-based vaccine using a strategy similar to what was employed for the West Nile virus, Fauci told reporters. The second is a live vaccine, "building on similar and highly immunogenic approaches used for the closely related dengue virus."

One person was killed and multiple others were injured during a shooting and stabbing incident Saturday afternoon at the Denver Coliseum, according to the Denver Police Department.

A fight broke out between two rival gangs, police told NBC News. The incident took place just before 1 p.m. local time (3 p.m. ET). 

Police would not confirm how many people were injured or the extent of their injuries. No one is in custody yet, a Denver police spokesperson said. 

The Colorado Motorcycle Expo is taking place this weekend at the Denver Coliseum, an entertainment venue on the National Western Stockshow complex.

San Diego’s community of emerging artists may soon have a place to call home as a nonprofit organization drafts plans to build a house and art center in Sherman Heights for budding talent.

Space 4 Art, a San Diego-based nonprofit, is in the process of designing and building a unique place where artists – and the community – can inspire one another.

In spring 2014, the organization purchased a half-acre vacant lot of land on Market Street, between 25th and 26th streets, to pursue the construction of a permanent space where local artists could live and work.

According to the nonprofit’s website, the art center and home would be a way for artists and Space 4 Art to have lasting impact in San Diego.

The space will house approximately 50 artists in units where they can work and live. The 50,000-square-foot building will be a combination of private and public space, designed to feel like a small neighborhood around courtyards.

“There’s going to be galleries, performing arts, there's going to be education, there's going to be workshops where people can come and work with artists,” explained Bob Leathers, co-founder of Space 4 Art.

Leathers said the live-in units will be an affordable housing option for artists – something the area currently lacks.

The project is very much a collaborative effort that is designed and built by community volunteers and driven by artists.

To that end, students from High Tech High in Chula Vista are helping with the building’s design.

Recently the students, who worked with architects at Space 4 Art, presented their renderings for affordable rental units within the home.

“We're making them from actual blueprints and on sketch up, too. And we're going to actually build them too," explained Vania Alonso, a 9th grade student at High Tech High.

Teachers, architects and even the future tenants sat in the audience and assessed the students’ layouts.

For the students, it was an educational experience that also taught them the value of team work.

“I think it's a pretty cool project because I've never done this and it's an experience to learn,"Javier Belendez, a 9th grade student at High Tech High, told NBC 7. “Group work is very good, [compared to] an individual because you get things done and they turn out better.”

Aleks Loera, also a freshman at High Tech High, has been working with Javier and Vania the last few months on the design project.

Loera said the project has also helped him overcome his shyness.

“I think I did good. I feel good,” the student said, beaming.

Currently, Space 4 Art is housed in a rented location in downtown San Diego’s East Village, with 35 spaces for artist studios and another five spaces where artists can also live.

Musicians Chris and Arianna Warren live in one of those five units, but plan to move into Space 4 Art's future home in Sherman Heights.

The Warrens sat in the audience while the High Tech High students gave their design presentation.
“They definitely took a close listen to our ideas about what would be helpful and they ran with it. They made brilliant things with it,” said Chris.

“Being two musicians in the house, we need two separate spaces,” said Arianna. “One big one to do big rehearsals together, and one smaller one for me to practice my own instruments and teach lessons.”

There is much work ahead for Space 4 Art, but the plans are moving along.

Space 4 Art had to wait until the city approved zoning changes for Southeast San Diego early this month before it could move full-steam ahead with its plans for the new building. Currently, the architects are meeting with city planners and going through environmental reviews.

Over the next few months, students and architects will be creating a prototype of a work-live loft. They'll place it at the new site later this year.

In March, High Tech High students and their teachers will begin building three of the work-live lofts, which they call “tiny houses,” at the school.

They need $50,000 for raw materials for the project and have created an online Kickstarter campaign where they are accepting donations. As of Saturday morning, the group had raised nearly $2,000.

On the Kickstarter page, Regina Kruglyak, a 9th grade teacher at the high school, lists the group’s goals:

• To raise a minimum of $18,000 in order to buy all of the raw materials it takes to build one tiny home from scratch. We will be making everything (this includes windows, doors, any metal work, etc).
• But our hope is to exceed our fundraising goal, because if we double the amount, we will be able to buy better quality equipment and transportation for getting to our build site so we do not have to rely on volunteer drivers on a daily basis.
• And if we triple the amount of money we hope to raise, we will be able to build communal spaces for the artists that will help enhance their living space in their tiny home community.

After they’re built, the “tiny houses” will be placed at the new space in Sherman Heights this summer.
Vania told NBC 7 she can’t wait to see the students’ hard work and creativity come to life.

“I feel like that's going to be mind-blowing because we designed these, we built these, we put out everything into these houses. And actual real people are going to be living in these houses,” she said.

Space 4 Art architects hope to begin construction on the home in 2018.

When everything is said and done, Leathers hopes the project will have deep ties to the community that helped build it and, in its own unique way, gives back to the community for decades to come.

“So it becomes a force in the community where the art reaches out into the community and really changes the neighborhoods,” he added.

The consensus among the San Diego Chargers fan base is they have not been treated very well by team owner Dean Spanos. That opinion is apparently shared by the superhero community.

Stephen Amell, the actor who plays Oliver Queen on the hit TV show, "Arrow," is also a big sports fan. He got in to character to send a message to the Bolts ownership about what has happened, and how they can make amends. (warning, there is a bit of salty language involved)

In case you're unfamiliar with the meaning of, "You have failed this city," it's the iconic line the Arrow uses when facing down villains on the show. If you hear it, you're very likely in very, very deep trouble.

The New York Times' editorial board announced Saturday it is endorsing Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic nomination and Ohio Gov. John Kasich for the Republican primary.

The endorsements, published online Saturday morning, comes just two days ahead of the highly-anticipated Iowa caucuses.

This is the fourth time the paper has endorsed Clinton in a run for public office, and wrote that it is doing so with "confidence and enthusiasm." 

"Hillary Clinton is the right choice for the Democrats to present a vision for America that is radically different from the one that leading Republican candidates offer — a vision in which middle-class Americans have a real shot at prosperity, women's rights are enhanced, undocumented immigrants are given a chance at legitimacy, international alliances are nurtured and the country is kept safe."

The editorial board commended Clinton’s main opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, for bringing issues like income inequality, the plight of the middle class and military restraint to the forefront, but ultimately concludes that he “does not have the breadth of experience or policy ideas that Mrs. Clinton offers.”

It also picked Ohio Gov. John Kasich as the "only plausible choice for Republicans tired of the extremism and inexperience on display in this race." But not before denouncing the candidacies of Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

“From deporting Mexican immigrants and barring Muslims to slapping a 45 percent tariff on Chinese imports, Mr. Trump invents his positions as he goes along,” the editorial says. 

The paper also condemns Trump's inexperience and disinterest in learning about "national security, defense and global warming."

As for the "equally objectionable" Cruz, the Times calls his campaign one of "ambition" and not aimed at "restoring constitutional principle."

"Now, whether he’s threatening to ‘carpet bomb’ Syrian villages or pitching a phony ‘flat tax’ that would batter middle-class consumers, Mr. Cruz will say anything to win,” the editorial board wrote.

Unlike Clinton's endorsement, Kasich's wasn't exactly praiseworthy, noting the GOP underdog "is no moderate," and cited his battles with public-sector unions, support for limiting abortion rights and opposition to same-sex marriage.

A driver who killed two students in San Diego had a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit as he sped 150 miles an hour the wrong way down the freeway, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's report. 

Shun Yang, 23, and Manlin Yang, 24, (no relation) were driving south on I-5 in the early hours of Dec. 20 when David Michael Elmore, 29, hit their vehicle head-on. All three people died in the fiery crash. Elmore U-turned at the border and traveled the wrong way on Interstate 5.

California Highway Patrol officials said Elmore had driven his 2006 Mercedes south to the San Ysidro Port of Entry but abruptly made a U-turn before crossing the border.

Driving north on I-5’s southbound lanes, Elmore sped up to more than 150 miles per hour for 38 miles during a pursuit, reaching Encinitas before slamming into Shun and Manlin just south of Manchester Avenue, the ME's report and CHP said. 

The car was so burned up from the pursuit, officials reported they had a difficult time figuring out what make or model the car was, according to the ME's report. 

Court records show Elmore had multiple DUIs on his record. At the time of the crash, he did not have a California driver’s license. Throughout his DUI history, Elmore had blood alcohol levels well above the legal limit. In one case, he got behind the wheel with a BAC of 0.22 – nearly three times over the legal limit, according to court documents.

At the time, he was driving with a blood-alcohol level of more than 3 times the legal limit at .29. He later also tested positive for marijuana. 

Elmore's mother told investigators her son had recently been released for jail after serving time for driving under the influence and was depressed. he had a history of anxiety and alcohol abuse. 

The ME's office determined Elmore's cause of death to be an accident as a result of multiple blunt force injuries. 

Shun had celebrated his birthday just nine days before his death. UC San Diego confirmed the two victims were students at the university.

The final Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll is out, just before the Iowa caucuses.

Donald Trump is surging past Ted Cruz, and Hillary Clinton holds a three-point lead over Bernie Sanders in the poll, NBC News reported.

Trump has the support of 28 percent of likely caucus-goers while Cruz has 23 percent. Meanwhile, the data shows Clinton leading Sanders 45 to 42 percent.

The poll comes just 48 hours before voters will meet for Monday night’s caucus. 

The San Diego Zoo Safari Park announced this week that six southern white rhinos at its rescue facility now officially have names thanks to input – and votes – from visitors.

In November 2015, the group of female southern white rhinos – all between four and seven years old – arrived at the Safari Park’s Rhino Rescue Center, unnamed. They were relocated to the park from private reserves in South Africa as part of conservation efforts to save all critically endangered rhino species from extinction.

For the past month, Safari Park has been on a quest to name the rhinos.

Visitors have been casting their votes for possible names on the Safari Park website, choosing options from a list compiled by keepers at the Rhino Rescue Center.

With more than 2,000 votes, visitors were able to name one of the rhinos, choosing “Amani” as the winning moniker. The harmonious name is Swahili for “peace.”

Safari Park officials say the other five rhinos – Nikita, Livia, Wallis, Victoria and Helene – were named in honor of San Diego Zoo Global rhino rescue program supporters Nikita Kahn, Livia Stone, Wallis Annenberg, Victoria Seaver Dean and Dr. Helene Hoffman.

Safari Park officials say the Rhino Rescue Center was built to house these six rhinos at a crucial time when, on average, three rhinos are killed by poachers each day in the wild. At the current rate of poaching, rhinos could become extinct in 15 years.

Today, the northern white rhino is the most critically endangered rhino species, with only three remaining in the world.

Researchers at the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research are currently collaborating with other animal experts to develop reproductive techniques to develop northern white rhino embryos from cells stored in the institute’s Frozen Zoo facility.

Researchers plan to implant those embryos in the newly-named southern white rhinos at Safari Park, who will serve as surrogate mothers.

“There are many challenges ahead, but researchers are optimistic that a northern white rhino calf could be born from these processes within 10 to 15 years. These technologies may also be applied to other rhino species, including the critically endangered Sumatran and Javan rhinos,” the Safari Park said in a press release.
 

Authorities identified five snowmobilers killed in an avalanche in British Columbia, Canada, on Friday, NBC News reported.

The five killed were all from Alberta. They were identified as Vincent Eugene Loewen, Tony Christopher Greenwood, Ricky Robinson, Todd William Chisholm and John Harold Garley.

The avalanche, around 2,300 feet across and between 2,300 and 2,600 feet long, struck as four different groups of snowmobilers we’re on the mountain. Bystanders immediately tried to dig them out, official said.

Seventeen people were on the mountain and caught in the avalanche, police said.  

An Ohio police officer who retired this week will not be able to take his K-9 partner with him, NBC News reported.

The animal will be auctioned off, according to a state law, leaving Marietta police officer Matthew Hickey angry. Hickey became a K-9 officer in 1998 and has been with his partner, Ajax, for four years.

State law says city property valued over $1,000 must be sold in an auction to the highest bidder. A vendor hired by the city said Ajax is worth $3,500. 

The city’s mayor said his hands are tied because Ajax was purchased by the city. The dog still has several years of service in his capacity, even though he currently doesn’t have a handler. 

A man was shot in the back in the parking lot of a casino north of San Diego County early Saturday morning, officials confirmed.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department (SDSO) said Valley Center Substation patrol deputies were called to Casino Pauma just after 4 a.m. to investigate a reported assault with a deadly weapon. The casino is located at 777 Pauma Reservation Rd., about 60 miles north of downtown San Diego.

Casino security officers had called deputies to report that an unknown man was shooting at a woman in the front parking lot of the casino.

When deputies arrived at the parking lot, they discovered a man in the lot, suffering from a single gunshot wound to his back. He was taken to Palomar Medical Center. At of 7 a.m. Saturday, the SDSO said the man was listed in critical but stable condition.

According to investigators, witnesses at the casino said they heard a single gunshot fired in the parking lot. Witnesses reported seeing a woman flee from the parking into the main casino following the gunfire.

No arrests have been made.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on this shooting should contact Crime Stoppers at (619) 580-8477.
 

San Diego police held a gun buyback in Otay Mesa Saturday where they collected 22 handguns, 13 rifles, 14 shotguns and an assault rifle.

Owners who dropped off guns received a gift card worth $50 to $100.

"We're always worried about the number of guns that are out there and we come across gun situations every day,” Capt. Rudy Tai said. “So, if we can get a weapon off the streets, it creates a safer environment for us.”

This was the first buyback program held by the department’s southern division. Officers accepted the guns no questioned asked.

An El Cajon woman was shocked to find her daughter’s belongings posted for free on Craigslist.

“I mean it's ridiculous,” Kimberlye Thalheimer told NBC 7. “That's not right to take my daughter’s stuff.”

Thalheimer was preparing to take the belongings---that were sitting in the back of her carport-- into storage.

Last Tuesday she returned home to find the boxes sitting on the curb and two strangers helping themselves.

It turns out someone had posted an advertisement with her address on Craigslist just two hours before with the instructions "Please do not dig through boxes. Must take and remove from property by tonight."

“I mean who does that kind of thing?” Thalheimer said. “It’s quite a bit of stuff. It didn't take them two minutes to put it down there. I'm sure somebody saw them pull it down there.”

She believes it was a disgruntled neighbor who posted the ad and dragged the boxes down to the curb.

The next day, after she reported the incident to authorities and the ad was taken down, Thalheimer noticed more boxes were missing.

“I just think that it's really bad that the person you hurt the most is the child,” she explained. “It’s just stuff. I can buy new stuff, but that's not understandable to an 11-year-old.”

The items taken include an outdoor baker’s rack, flower pots, dolls and her daughter's small ATV. Thalheimer is asking for the people who took the items to return them.

The two remaining inmates who escaped from an Orange County jail last week were taken into custody in San Francisco Saturday morning, officials said.

Jonathan Tieu, 20, of Fountain Valley, and Hossein Nayeri, 37, of Newport Beach were taken into custody by the San Francisco Police Department around 8:50 a.m. after a receiving a tip from an observant witness, Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said at a news conference Saturday.

"The entire state can breathe a sigh of relief because we have the other two dangerous individuals back in custody," Hutchens said.

Nayeri and Tieu were expected to be transported back to Orange County Saturday night or early Sunday morning. 

Hutchens initially said a woman alerted police after seeing a white GMC van next to a Whole Foods parking lot near Golden Gate Park that looked similar to the one authorities reported the fugitives had stolen. A San Francisco police officer later said it was a man who alerted police of a suspicious person and vehicle.

According to Hutchens, as officers approached the van, Nayeri started to run. He was caught after a short chase at Waller and Stanyan streets. Tieu was found hiding in the van parked at Haight and Stanyan streets. Several rounds of ammunition were also found in the van, however no weapons were recovered, Hutchens said.

"This is an excellent example of how citizens can help the San Francisco Police Department keep the city safe," said SFPD Officer Grace Gatpandan.

Tieu and Nayeri remained at a San Francisco police station and were expected to be moved to the San Francisco County Jail, Hutchens said. Sheriff's said they were coordinating with San Francisco authorities to transfer the inmates back into Orange County custody.

Authorities were still investigating how the inmates obtained their escape tools and said no disciplinary action had been taken in the wake of the escape.

"If anybody else aided and abetted (the inmates), they're going to be prosecuted," Hutchens said. "We do not want another escape from an Orange County jail."

Officials said Friday, they were concentrating their efforts in the San Jose area Saturday where it was believed the inmates were hiding and were possibly en route to Fresno.

A major break in the weeklong manhunt came Friday, when Bac Duong, 43, who escaped from the Central Men's Jail early Jan. 22 along with Tieu and Nayeri, surrendered to authorities. According to Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens, Duong walked up to a civilian in Santa Ana and said he wanted to turn himself in around 11:30 a.m.

Sheriff's officials said all three escapees were spotted Thursday in San Jose, but Duong somehow made his way back to Santa Ana to surrender.

A manager at the Alameda Motel in San Jose on Friday said he believed all three inmates stayed at his motel on Tuesday and Wednesday, before leaving Thursday morning.

Investigators said they believed the three escapees were living out of the van, which has paper license plates from Felix Chevrolet, with plate number 8U66466, although the plates may have been replaced and the windows were likely tinted. The van was listed for sale on Craiglist and Duong stole it when he took the vehicle for a test drive in South Los Angeles.

It's not clear how Duong got back to Southern California from San Jose, but early Friday Duong contacted a woman he knew at the auto electric repair shop just a few miles away from the jail, authorities and witnesses said.

Le Tran told NBC4 News that he saw Duong smoking a cigarette as he waited for authorities to arrest him at the Tran family's Auto Electric Rebuilders shop located at 1421 N. Harbor Boulevard. He said he does not know how Duong got to the shop, but that his sister knew Duong and might have visited him while he was in jail.

Shortly after the late-morning arrest, a team of well-armed officers in protective vests swarmed the business.

Meanwhile, more than 10 people have been arrested since the escape. Among them is a teacher who had a "significant role" in the planning of the jailbreak. The 44-year-old Lake Forest woman was arrested Thursday on suspicion of accessory to a felony in helping the inmates escape from lockup in downtown Santa Ana.

She allegedly provided the men with Google Earth maps of the jail complex, according to investigators. One of the escaped inmates, Nayeri, took her class at the Central Men's Jail and developed a relationship with her, said Orange County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock.

Nayeri had been in custody since September 2014, Tieu since October 2013 and Duong since December.

Duong allegedly shot a man Nov. 18, 2015 after an argument on the patio of a Santa Ana home. He was charged with one felony count of attempted murder, one felony count of assault with a firearm, one felony count of first-degree residential burglary, one felony count of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or house, one felony count of assault with a firearm with sentencing enhancements for the personal use of a firearm, personal discharge of a firearm and great bodily injury.

He was being held without bail on an immigration hold pending a possible federal deportation hearing. Duong also faces sentencing enhancements for a prior strike conviction for first-degree burglary in 1995 in San Diego County, prior prison convictions for second-degree burglary in 2007, reckless evading of a peace officer in 2008 and possession for sale of a controlled substance in 2011.

Nayeri is accused of participating in an attack, including torture, against a Newport Beach resident who ran a licensed marijuana dispensary in Santa Ana. Tieu faces murder and attempted murder charges in connection with a gang hit. Duong faces an attempted murder charge and was being held without bail on an immigration hold pending a possible federal deportation hearing.

“Our store was a victim of flooding and will be closed until further notice.”

That’s the sign posted outside of Wings Beachwear in Ocean Beach, which has yet to recover from the last El Nino-fueled storm in early January.

“All of a sudden we see a flood of like a lot of water came right down here,” May Montesa, of the store, said. “We were shocked. Everybody was shocked.”

More than three inches of the entire store was flooded with rainwater during the series of storms. Montesa said the store’s closure has been hard on all the employees and many of them are looking for a part-time job.

Employees estimate they’ve lost thousands of dollars in business since they haven’t been able to open.

Neighboring business Miss Match was also hit hard by El Nino.

Owner Tali Bercovitz had to lock customers in the store to keep the water from coming inside.

“Out of nowhere it was so quick the water came up to the door and we had customers in the store," Bercovitz said. “The worst part was we weren't prepared for it. It was really, really quiet and then all of a sudden I finally understand what a flash flood warming means and we lived it.

Both businesses are lining their shops with plastic and sandbags and say this time around they’re prepared.

“That’s really how everyone is on Newport avenue we weather the storm together and then we get back to business,"Bercovitz explained.

Wings Beachwear is still waiting to hear back from their insurance company, but hope to be open again in a couple of weeks.

Another storm is expected to move in on Sunday.

A woman died after a San Diego man crashed the car she was in on an Oregon highway according to officials.

Jorge Gutierrez-Herrera, 36, lost control of his car on Highway 95 due to icy conditions. His car crossed incoming traffic and flipped over on the other side of the road.

69-year-old Francisca was ejected from the car and pronounced dead at the scene.

Jorge Gutierrez-Herrera and passenger Julian Gutierrez-Herrera, 28, were both transported to the hospital.

There is no word on their injuries or condition. Jorge and Julian were determined to have been wearing seat belts while Francisca was not.

The incident happened around 7:43 a.m. Saturday in Malheur County.
