A San Diego State University student who initially reported being pushed and verbally assaulted by two men in a parking garage has decided not to pursue charges, SDSU Police said Tuesday.

A Muslim student wearing a hijab told police she was confronted by two men in a stairwell in the Parking Lot #12 structure on November 10.

She told investigators the men, described as in their early 20s, made comments about President-elect Donald Trump and the Muslim community and then took her purse and backpack.

SDSU Police confirmed the report and launched an investigation into what they described as a hate crime. Eight weeks later, the student was not willing to testify and decided she no longer wanted to pursue the matter criminally, according to police.

In the initial report, police said the men took the woman’s car keys and ran off. The student's vehicle was missing from the parking garage.

The student's report of a stolen vehicle was unfounded since the student forgot where she had parked, SDSU Police Lt. Greg Noll said.

"The remaining portion of the investigation included looking at all surveillance video, re-contacting the victim on several occasions and attempting to verify statements related to the entire case," Noll said.

Although the woman has indicated she was attacked, police have suspended the case because the victim no longer wants to cooperate, Noll said.

San Diego County Supervisors voted Tuesday to give themselves a 12.5 percent raise. The raise will increase the supervisors' annual salaries by roughly $19,000.

That will go on top of their $153,000 yearly salary.

Supervisors Greg Cox, Dianne Jacob, Bill Horn, Ron Roberts voted for the increase while newly-elected District 3 Supervisor Kristin Gaspar voted against it.

In the public comment portion of the meeting, many people spoke out against the raise. Several argued the board should divert that money to homelessness, affordable housing or transportation instead of their salaries.

Isabella Firth of Rancho Penasquitos asked the board to reconsider their priorities.

"That failure to invest in San Diego families diminishes us as a county," Firth said. "Your willingness to vote to increase your own comfort adds insult to that injury."

In the end, the board voted for the pay increase.

The supervisors who voted for the raise are not eligible for re-election. The timing of the vote was criticized by some who argue the board won't suffer any political backlash due to their term limits.

They also point to the fact that the raise will give board supervisors a higher pension.

UPDATE: The City announced Tuesday it would be postponing accepting applications for medical marijuana businesses and expects to begin doing so by January 30.

As the city of La Mesa inches closer to allowing medical marijuana dispensaries to operate legally, the city’s Community Development Director told a crowded room of hopeful marijuana entrepreneurs on Monday the city’s code enforcement division would no longer be cracking down on illegal dispensaries. 

Beginning Thursday, the city plans to start accepting applications for medical marijuana dispensaries, cultivation and manufacturing sites. This comes after voters approved Measure U, an ordinance allowing medical marijuana businesses to operate within city limits through a permitting and licensing process. 

UPDATE: On Tuesday, the city announced they were postponing accepting applications and said it plans to begin doing so by January 30. The city did not give an exact date but said prospective applicants can begin receiving “line status numbers” beginning Tuesday.

The permits will be issued on a first come, first serve basis and businesses must adhere to a list of guidelines including specific zones where businesses can operate, in order to have their application or business permit approved, according to the city. 

On Monday, the city’s Community Development Department held a Measure U workshop to share the city’s process for accepting applications as well as the specific city zones designated for certain medical marijuana uses and rules future-business owners must follow. 

Citizens packed the room at the La Mesa Community Center where the workshop was held. 

The announcement that seemed to strike a chord with those at the meeting was an announcement Carol Dick, La Mesa’s Community Development Director made at the workshop. 

She told the crowd the city’s code enforcement will no longer be cracking down on illegal medical marijuana dispensaries, rather, she said, they will be focusing on Measure U and the soon-to-be legal shops approved in the permitting process. 

The question of what would be done to pre-existing illegal dispensaries, or dispensaries operating without paying business taxes or with approved city permits, was brought up by members in the workshop’s crowd. 

“This is the remedy for that,” Dick said, referring to Measure U. 

When asked whether or not new owners, who are taking legal steps to open medical marijuana businesses in La Mesa, would have any advantage over those owners operating shops illegally, Dick said the answer was “no.” She explained those illegal owners would be treated just the same as new owners hoping to get permits approved. 

During Monday’s workshop, La Mesa city officials also informed the public there is no cap on how many dispensaries or cultivation sites can be open within the city limits. Instead what will determine the number of businesses is how many shops can operate in the approved zones, while staying 600-feet away from schools and other “sensitive uses” such as childcare, daycare facilities or public parks. 

Approved dispensaries also are required to be located 1,000 feet from other approved dispensaries or cultivation sites, according to the city’s regulations.

Delivery or mobile marijuana dispensary services remain prohibited in the city of La Mesa but business owners transporting their business’ marijuana goods-for-sale are allowed to do so within the city. 

Entrepreneurs in attendance at the workshop asked city officials, including members of the La Mesa Police Department, whether or not people could start lining up to have their chance at being one of the first to apply for a permit on Thursday. 

Lt. Matt Nicholas from the La Mesa Police Department told the crowd camping overnight on city hall property was not allowed, but police could not use force to remove someone from city property. 

Originally, city officials were going to start accepting applications on Thursday but according to an alert sent out, city planners received a significant number of questions and comments they wish to address before accepting applications. 

According to the city, applicants are allowed to come to the city’s Planning Counter at La Mesa City Hall between the hours of 7:30am and 5:30pm, Tuesday through Thursday, to receive a line status number.

La Mesa is the third city in San Diego County to allow medical marijuana businesses to operate legally. 

The City of San Diego has been accepting dispensary applications since 2014 and according to city documents obtained by NBC 7 through the California Public Records Act, 15 locations have been legally permitted to operate as of November 14, 2016. 

Lemon Grove voters also passed an ordinance in November to remove an existing ban on medical marijuana businesses.

In addition to the three cities, five dispensaries were approved in unincorporated areas of San Diego County.

Hey local bands, ready for your big break?

Jon Bon Jovi just announced a contest that will allow local bands across the country (including right here in San Diego) to upload an audition video to open a show on the band’s upcoming national 2017 This House Is Not For Sale Tour.

Needless to say, this could be a massive opportunity for one lucky San Diego act when the multi-Grammy-winning band hits SDSU’s Viejas Arena on March 5. If there were ever a battle-of-the-bands contest to enter, this might just be the one.

According to a Live Nation press release, Bon Jovi’s all about helping out local, independent artists.

Any artist with original music can enter the contest, although you best be ready to bring a real experience to the stage: “[Winners] chosen will demonstrate that they have the sound, style, and substance to open an arena show,” the press release read.

Here’s the rundown: To enter, acts must submit an audition video of original music to this site, or the Bon Jovi or Live Nation Facebook pages. Submissions will be displayed in a live gallery for viewing and sharing. Live Nation will then choose 10 finalists and Bon Jovi management will select the opening act contest winner for each tour date.

For the March 5 show here in San Diego, the winner will be announced on Feb. 8, so if you plan on auditioning, submit your video ASAP!

The 1952 musical that propelled actress Debbie Reynolds into Hollywood stardom will celebrate its 65th anniversary this month by returning to select theaters nationwide, including some in San Diego County.

The two screenings of the flick – organized by Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and Fathom Events – are planned for Jan. 15 and Jan. 18. It is part of TCM’s “Big Screen Classics” series, which will bring one classic movie back to theaters each month this year for a two-day engagement. After “Singin’ in the Rain,” the next classic movies to hit theaters will be “An Affair to Remember (Feb. 12 and Feb. 15) and “All About Eve” (March 5 and March 8).

According to movie ticket-purchasing website Fandango, theaters in San Diego County set to screen “Singin’ in the Rain” this Sunday include:

• UA Horton Plaza 8 (475 Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego)
• AMC Plaza Bonita 14 (3050 Plaza Bonita Rd. in National City)
• AMC Mission Valley 20 (1640 Camino Del Rio North)
• AMC La Jolla 12 (8657 Villa La Jolla Dr.)
• Regal Parkway Plaza Stadium 18 & IMAX (405 Parkway Plaza in El Cajon)
• Edwards Mira Mesa Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX (10733 Westview Parkway)
• Edwards Rancho San Diego Stadium 15 (2951 Jamacha Rd.)
• AMC Otay Ranch 12 (2015 Birch Rd. in Chula Vista)

There are two showtimes for the Jan. 15 screening at those theaters: 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

On Jan. 18, “Singin’ in the Rain” will play at the same list of local cinemas, again at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. – except for AMC Otay Ranch 12. Regal Rancho Del Rey Stadium 16 (1025 Tierra Del Rey) in Chula Vista will add showtimes for Jan. 18, too. 

Reynolds – who died on Dec. 28, 2016, just one day after the death of her daughter, “Star Wars” icon Carrie Fisher – played her breakout role of Kathy Selden in “Singin’ in the Rain.” The classic film takes a comedic look at Hollywood in the late 1920s as actors had to transition from silent films to “talkies.”

The actress was only 18 when she landed the role. In her biography, Reynolds said the movie – next to childbirth – was one of the most difficult challenges of her life.

While the film is more than six decades old, it appears to still be a favorite among Hollywood’s young A-Listers, including the cast of the sunny, modern-day musical, “La La Land,” which danced its way into a Golden Globe Awards record Sunday night.

According to The Wrap, last week at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala, lead actor and Golden Globes winner Ryan Gosling said the cast of “La La Land” watched “Singin’ in the Rain” every day on the set for inspiration.

“I wish I could have said this [to Reynolds] in person,” Gosling said, according to The Wrap. “I’d like to thank Debbie Reynolds for her wonderful career of work. She was an inspiration to us every day. We watched ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ every day [on the set of “La La Land”] for inspiration and she’s truly an unparalleled talent.”

San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis will release five videos in five officer and deputy-involved shootings across the County, including the controversial police shooting of Alfred Olango. 

Be advised that during the press conference, the DA will stream videos from the shootings that contain graphic, violent content that may not be suitable for children. 

The DA's office also released statistics from a report compiled about officer-involved shootings. 

Over a four year period, 34 people were fatally shot and 27 were shot and wounded, Dumanis said. 

Twenty seven of those fatally shot were white, 26 were Hispanic, five were black and three were Asian. 

The DA will discuss the officer-involved shootings involving victims David Moya, Sergio Weick, Alfred Olango, Juan Carlos Fernandez and Trenton Lohman. 

David Moya
Shooting happened on Friday, Aug. 5, 2016

David Moya, 31, was shot and killed after a SWAT standoff in Santee. Deputies said Moya allegedly threatened to kill his mother when he holed up in a home on Woodglen Vista Drive. 

During the standoff, Moya used a crossbow to fire arrows at deputies; deputies later determined armorad unique hunting arrows meant to penetrate an animal's skin and could penetrate Kevlar armour. 

Deputies, fearing for their lives, returned fire. He was found dead inside the home when deputies went inside. 

The DA's review found the deputies fired in their own defense, Dumanis said.

"Based on these circumstances, the facts, and the law, they bear no criminal liability for their actions," Dumanis said.

Trenton Lohman
Shooting happened on Aug. 18, 2016

Trenton Lohman, 38, was shot and killed in Poway on Aug. 18.The incident started on Aug. 18 when deputies responded to reports of suspicious activity in the parking lot of an auto repair shop on Poway Road.

When a deputy arrived on scene, he was confronted by Lohman - who produced a handgun and pointed it at the deputy, according to SDSO Lt. Kenn Nelson. The deputy, fearing for his life, fired multiple rounds, Nelson said. 

Lohman had then attempted to leave in his own vehicle but was blocked by several deputies arriving on scene. He then got into a deputy’s patrol car and drove off, leading police on a pursuit through Poway.

During the pursuit, Lohman got out of the patrol car and carjacked a person at gunpoint at the intersection of Espola and Poway roads. He had driven approximately 100 yards in the SUV when four deputies fired at him.

Lohman was shot in the upper body and the SUV veered off the road and down into a ravine. He was found dead inside the vehicle. An autopsy revealed Lohman had methamphetamine in his system. 

According to SDSO, deputies found another gun, a hatchet, ammunition and knives inside the hijacked SUV.

Sergio Weick
Shooting happened on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2016

Sergio Weick, 33, was shot and killed after a confrontation with deputies last year. San Diego County Sheriff's deputies say Weick was a known gang member and had a warrant out for his arrest when they spotted him outside a home in Vista on that Thursday. 

The sighting soon led to a short pursuit through Vista until Weick's car crashed - and deputies pursued him on foot, deputies said. 

The foot chase ended when deputies Peter Myers and Christopher Villanueva caught up to Weick standing near some bushes.

Deputies shot Weick on the left side of his body when they say he reached for his waist and “appeared to reach for a weapon." Weick collapsed and deputies handcuffed him. He later died.

An autopsy report shows Weick was shot 18 times and suffered 27 separate wounds as a result. 

Investigators say Weick had shotgun shells and knives on him. They later found a sawed-off shotgun, knives and drug paraphernalia in his car.

Alfred Olango
Shooting happened Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2016

 Alfred Olango, 38, was shot and killed by El Cajon police officers on Tuesday, Sept. 27. He was first reported to be walking in and out of traffic in the middle of the street and “not acting like himself,” when his sister called officers for help.

El Cajon Police Department Lt. Rob Ransweiler said two officers first arrived at the scene at approximately 2:10 p.m. Tuesday. The officer-involved shooting happened at 2:11 to 2:12 p.m., between one to two minutes after they arrived.

Video of the shooting captured Officer Gonsalves approaching Olango in the parking lot of a strip mall in El Cajon, then firing several rounds just moments later.

El Cajon Police Chief Jeff Davis said Olango refused multiple instructions to remove his hand from in his pocket before he pulled out an object and held it in front of him “like he would be firing a gun.” The object was later determined to be a vaping device.

The ECPD said officers called PERT, a psychiatric emergency response team that deals with calls involving subjects in mental distress, to help with Olango before their encounter with him, but that team was not immediately available because it was responding to another call in the area.

Juan Carlos Fernandez
Shooting happened on Sunday, Nov. 13, 2016

Juan Fernandez, 45, was shot and killed in City Heights by police after he shot his ex-wife and three members of the family at their apartment on Marlborough Avenue. 

Police say Fernandez got into a fistfight with his 21-year-old ex-wife's boyfriend over their relationship. After the fight, Fernandez went to his car, took out a gun from the glove compartment, and returned to the apartment. 

The father tried to wrestle the gun away from Fernanez when he was shot; he later died. 

The 21-year old's mother had hugged her in an attempt to protect her from the bullets and was fatally shot.

When police arrived on scene, they ordered Fernandez to lay on the ground as he had his wife in a headlock, gun to her head. 

When negotiations with the suspect by police were unsuccessful, an officer, a 12-year veteran, fatally shot him.

An El Cajon man pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree murder more than three years after his wife's death.

Gankil Wijdan, 38, was found stabbed to death inside one of the apartments on Roanoke Road in El Cajon on June 2, 2013.

Her husband, Salem Zora, called the El Cajon Police Department and told officers he had returned home to find his wife not breathing.

Homicide investigators would later find Zora several inconsistencies in his account of the incident and the crime scene.

On Tuesday, the 51-year-old defendant pleaded guilty to second-degree murder but did not reveal a motive. 

Wijdan's relatives told investigators the victim said she had been arguing with her husband. When asked why she missed a family gathering, Wijdan told the family member that Zora didn't want her going to the party.

There was no known documented history of domestic violence between them.

Police say the couple lived alone in the El Cajon apartment and had no children.

Wijdan’s nephew, Steven Rofaeel, described his aunt as a sweet, quiet person who was always helping others.

Zora will be sentenced next month and reportedly faces 16 years to life in prison.

Petco Park, home to the San Diego Padres, is transforming from a field of dreams to a diamond of dirt.

In preparation for Saturday’s Monster Energy Supercross, organizers dumped 26 million pounds of dirt on the Petco Park field Tuesday morning.

“We’re unloading eleven semi-trailers of dirt and my crew is building this course all day and into the night, then we’ll turn on the lights and hopefully have it all done by 9pm tonight,” said Tim Phend, Director of Operations for Monster Energy Supercross.

Supercross tracks are one of a kind layouts filled with air-inducing jumps and various obstacles.

Brandon Short, Events Manager for Monster Energy Supercross said, “Each Supercross track is truly unique to itself, it will never be duplicated. Every time a rider comes to a stadium to one of our events, he’s never seen this track before, he’s going to learn the track that day, race on it that night, then he’ll never see that track again.”

With the help of roughly twenty earth moving vehicles and an expert crew, the Petco Park layout was coming together. Jumps, bumps and turns were popping up where there previously pitching mounds, bases and green outfield grass.

Once the track is complete and the racing starts, riders will take the jumps and fly 35 feet through the air along the first and third baselines at Petco Park.

The Monster Energy Supercross takes place Saturday, January 14^th at Petco Park.  Additionally, Monster Jam will return to Petco Park for two weekends of action on Saturday, January 21^st and Saturday, February 18^th.  For more information or tickets log onto www.supercrosslive.com or www.monsterjam.com.

A Vista mother said her family’s dirty laundry was coming out of the washer marked with rust stains, ruining clothes and bedding. When she called the company that made the washer, they told her there was nothing they could do since they considered the problem ‘cosmetic’. 

“As a busy mom can tell you, there isn’t time to do laundry once, let alone twice,” Lindsay Hester said. 

Raising her two young boys, Lindsay knows clean laundry often doesn’t stay clean for long. 

So when she and her husband moved to their home in Vista, buying a new washer and dryer was on the top of her to-do list. 

The couple went with a Samsung model but six months after they bought it, Lindsay said she started noticing something odd. 

“We started noticing rust stains on our clothes but we weren’t sure of the source,” Lindsay said. 

The family’s dirty laundry went into the washer but when the laundry came out, it was spotted with rust stains. 

“We got a mirror inside of the machine so we could look up at the bottom side..you can see that the true source of the rust is coming from the underside and this is what was ending up on my clothing,” Lindsay said. 

The stained clothes were beginning to wear out Lindsay’s patience. 

“The final straw was putting in a new set of expensive bedding before guests arrived and having it come out rust-stained,” Lindsay said. 

Lindsay said she called Samsung and explained the problem but the company told her they considered the problem ‘cosmetic’ and would not issue a refund or replacement. 

“It was frustrating and it became almost a matter of principle,” Lindsay said. 

After several frustrating calls to Samsung with no resolution, Lindsay said she was about to give up until one afternoon when she saw an NBC 7 Responds report. 

“You were able to successfully get her problem taken care of so I thought as a last ditch effort I would get in touch,” Lindsay said. 

That last ditch effort turned out to be just what Lindsay needed. After she contacted NBC 7 Responds, we reached out to Samsung and explained the situation. 

The next day, Samsung called Lindsay with good news. 

“They finally had a solution to our problem,” Lindsay said. 

Samsung called Lindsay and after some negotiating, the company committed to paying her 80% of the washer's price -- a refund of $500. Lindsay used that cash to purchase a new washer. 

In an email, Lauren Restuccia with Samsung provided this statement, “We are very sorry about the Chhabras’ experience and we have been in contact with them to resolve the issue to their satisfaction. Product quality is a top priority for us, and we strive to deliver the best possible experience for all Samsung customers. We encourage anyone with a product concern to contact us directly at 1-800-SAMSUNG.”

The family of Alfred Olango, a man killed by El Cajon police last year, will speak at a press conference Tuesday in response to the San Diego County District Attorney's announcement that the officer in the case was justified in using lethal force. 

President of the National Action Network San Diego and Imperial Counties Rev. Shane Harris will speak alongside the family at 5 p.m. at the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church in San Diego.  

DA Bonnie Dumanis made the announcement earlier Tuesday when announcing the office's review of five recent fatal police and deputy-involved shootings. 

Dumanis said in all five fatal shootings -- involving victims David Moya, Sergio Weick, Alfred Olango, Juan Carlos Fernandez and Trenton Lohman -- the law enforcement officers were justified in their decisions.

Dumanis said at the press conference Olango's family was notified through an attorney of the press conference, but was not told of the decision in advance. 

In the controversial case of Olango, Dumanis added that the only reasonable conclusion after looking at the facts of the case was that the "officer's actions were legally justified and understandable."

Alfred Olango, 38, was shot and killed by El Cajon police officers on Tuesday, Sept. 27. He was first reported to be walking in and out of traffic in the middle of the street and “not acting like himself,” when his sister called officers for help.

El Cajon Police Chief Jeff Davis said Olango refused multiple instructions to remove his hand from in his pocket before he pulled out an object and held it in front of him “like he would be firing a gun.” The object was later determined to be a vaping device.

Video of the shooting captured Officer Gonsalves approaching Olango in the parking lot of a strip mall in El not lookthen firing several rounds just moments later.

Dumanis said their review does notlook at policy or procedure. However, she wanted to clarify a common police practice come under question by the public in this particular case. 

"It’s worth noting that it is common police practice for one officer to arm themselves with lethal backup in case the less lethal option is not effective," she said.

Dumanis did not show any new footage in the case, as the El Cajon Police Department had released the two videos that captured the incident earlier. 

Dumanis said a special operations division, prosecutors and Dumanis herself examined the case and visited the scene before making their decision on whether the officers would face charges. 

"After carefully reviewing the facts, the evidence and the law we’ve determined the officer’s use of deadly force was reasonable under the circumstances and he bears no criminal liability for his actions," Dumanis said.

Dumanis touched on the widespread media attention Olango’s case has garnered and mentioned the protests sparked by the case.

"In many ways, the response in San Diego County to this officer-involved shooting is reflective of a bigger picture, in conversations that are happening across the nation," Dumanis said. "We’re living in a time where the actions of police officers are under scrutiny more than ever."

Dumanis said the circumstances surrounding Olango's death are tragic and said law enforcement would continue to work with the community as they have in the past. 

"I understand the desire among some to voice their anger and disagreement over this decision but its also my genuine hope that people can direct anger into a constructive conversation that focuses on a positive change," Dumanis said.

The Rodeway Inn in Oceanside was partially evacuated as police searched for a wanted, possibly armed suspect, Oceanside Police Lt. Taurino Valdovinos confirmed to NBC 7 San Diego. 

Police first responded to a call of a shooting at the Inn, located at 1103 N. Coast Highway, at approximately 2:30 p.m. 

It is unclear exactly what happened. Authorities spoke with a male victim of the incident on scene, though he did not suffer a gunshot wound. 

Through their investigation, they learned the suspect was last seen in a nearby hotel room and authorities evacuated nearby rooms. 

Police were able to get in contact with the suspect and get him to surrender peacefully, Valdovinos said. 

A gun was located in the room, police said. 

No one else was injured.

No other information was immediately available.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer plead guilty on Tuesday to bribery and smuggling illegal immigrants in exchange for monetary and sexual favors.

Jose Luis Cota, 50, a 15-year veteran with the Customs and Border Protection worked at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. He was arrested on Sept. 7, 2016, along with Miriam Elizabeth Juarez-Herrera and Gilberto Aguilar-Martinez, both 31.

Cota admitted to accepting money and sexual favors from Juarez-Herrera in exchange for allowing illegal immigrants across the border. He also accepted bribes from Aguilar-Martinez.

He pleaded guilty to three counts of smuggling illegal immigrants and one count of bribery of a public official.

According to his plea agreement, Cota was involved in the smuggling from November 2015 to September 2016, when he was arrested. During that time, Cota admitted to smuggling at least 10 illegal immigrants into the country.

Juarez-Herrera, an undocumented immigrant, would find and recruit illegal immigrants in Mexico and smuggle them into the U.S.

Cota charged up to $15,000 per person.

Aguilar-Martinez is a two-time convicted felon and was previously deported as an undocumented immigrant.

“Public corruption, which includes border corruption, is the number one criminal priority for the FBI because of the potential harm that actions, like Officer Cota’s actions, can have on our nation’s security,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Eric S. Birnbaum.

If convicted, Cota could face more than 10 years in prison.

A 57-year-old father is suspected of fatally stabbing his daughter and injuring her boyfriend in Clairemont Mesa, San Diego Police said Tuesday. 

The stabbing happened late Sunday at approximately 9:30 p.m. when police first responded to the west alley of the 3200 Ashford Street to investigate a call. That's located about a block from the Mesa College.

When police responded, they found a 26-year-old man - later identified as 26-year-old Jamar Walter - bleeding in an alley.

Officers then discovered a 22-year-old woman - identified as Katherine Mills-Perkins - inside an apartment complex, also suffering from fatal stab wounds. Mills-Perkins soon died from her injuries, according to the SDPD.

Walter is expected to survive his injuries, according to SDPD Lt. Mike Holden.

The two victims were dating, police said. 

The suspect, Mills-Perkins' father, Mark McClellan, fled in a car, Holden said. 

Police later found McClellan's black Hyundai with paper plates abandoned on the Coronado Bridge. Witnesses told San Diego Police the driver of that car jumped off the bridge.

At this time, no body has been found, Holden said. 

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

NOTE: NBC Chicago will offer a live stream of the speech beginning at 8 p.m. Tuesday right here.

With just ten days left in his second term as president, Barack Obama returns to Chicago Tuesday to deliver one final speech as commander in chief.

Obama planned to reflect on his origins as a community organizer on the South Side who witnessed "the quiet dignity of working people in the face of struggle and loss." He argues change is only possible "when ordinary people get involved" and join forces to demand progress.

Eight years later, "I still believe that," Obama said in an excerpt of his speech released by the White House.

It's a fitting bookend to what he started in Chicago. It was in this city that he taught constitutional law, registered voters, ran for office and started a family. More than 20 years after a young Obama first arrived in Chicago, it was here in Grant Park that he stepped onstage to deliver his victory speech as America’s first black president.

"For Michelle and me, Chicago is where it all started," Obama wrote in a Facebook post just hours before he was set to arrive in the city. "It’s the city that showed us the power and fundamental goodness of the American people."

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife were also traveling to Chicago for the speech at McCormick Place, a sprawling convention center along Lake Michigan.

Thousands waited in line for hours in freezing temperatures in hopes of securing tickets to witness Obama's parting remarks — a farewell tradition dating back to George Washington. It is a chance to highlight achievements, perhaps even issue a warning, and reflect on what has changed since assuming office.

Calls for change became a rallying cry that carried him into office, and ironically ushered in the successor he so vigorously campaigned against, President-elect Donald Trump.

Change was an integral theme of not only his administration, but in his own life as well.

He’s the first to crack a joke about his hair lightening over the past eight years, or to reflect on how quickly his daughters, who we met as young children begging their father for a puppy, have grown into women before his very eyes. But as the Obama family has evolved over his time in office, so too, of course, has the world – and in particular, the city he calls home. 

Obama will be addressing a very different Chicago on Tuesday than he left in 2008, one that is far bloodier than the city that lifted its son to the White House. Chicago saw at least 762 homicides and more than 4,331 shooting victims in 2016 – the highest number in not only his eight years in office, but the most in two decades, according to police.

“What is it about Chicago that has caused an increase in homicides that we’re just not seeing in most other big cities across the country?” he mused to NBC5’s Carol Marin in a one-on-one interview last week. “It appears to be a combination of factors, the nature of gang structures or lack of structure in Chicago, the way police are allocated, in some cases the need for more police, the ease of accessibility of guns, pockets of poverty that are highly segregated,” he added.

And as he speaks Tuesday, the Justice Department is preparing to release a report on the Chicago Police Department following a year-long probe launched after dashcam video of the fatal police shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was released, sparking public outcry and calls for Obama’s former White House chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel to resign his post as Chicago’s mayor.

Reflecting once again on the city’s spike in violence, Obama said, “I don’t think that there’s one reason and I don’t think there’s a silver bullet answer to it, but I do think it will be incumbent on all of us to really work on this.”

Chicagoans, and the nation, can expect more of that rhetoric – less of a victory lap, and more of a call-to-action as his successor prepares to take office. 

As he did in his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, throughout his term, and again in the days following the 2016 presidential election, Obama will likely deliver a plea for unity on Tuesday.

“Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes,” he said in the 2004 speech that propelled him into the national spotlight. “Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America.”

And the morning after the 2016 election, he asked the public to “remember that we're actually all on one team.”

“We’re not Democrats first, we're not Republicans first, we are Americans first. We're patriots first. We all want what’s best for this country,” he added.

As Republicans move forward with plans to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, his chief legislative accomplishment, it’s unclear what specific policies will remain of Obama’s legacy. But over the years, he has made his hope in America’s promise well known – a hope he will likely reiterate for the final time in Chicago.

"I'll be thinking back to being a young community organizer, pretty much fresh out of school, and feeling as if my faith in America's ability to bring about change in our democracy has been vindicated," Obama said in a White House video previewing his speech.

“The two things I take away from this office are number one, that change can happen, and the system to will respond to ordinary people coming together to try to move the country in a better direction,” he added. “And the second thing I’ll take away from this experience is the fundamental goodness of the American people, all of whom are pouring their heart and soul into making their communities work better, supporting their families and moving this country forward, keeping it safe. It gives you a lot of confidence about our prospects for the future.”

The tenth anniversary of Obama’s Springfield speech announcing his candidacy will arrive exactly one month from tonight’s farewell – a moment of reflection that will likely leave many wondering what the next four, eight and ten years may bring.

Police are asking for the public's help to find a special needs teen who went missing Monday.

Crispin Dowell, 16, is diagnosed with high-functioning Asperger's.

According to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD), Dowell went missing from his home in Del Cerro. He was last seen at a Chase Bank in La Mesa and Santee on Monday.

He is described to 5-feet 8-inches tall, weighing approximately 160 pounds with short blonde hair, blue eyes and black-rim glasses. Dowell was wearing a blue hoodie, hat, white or silver sneakers and had been carrying a red backpack.

Anyone with information is asked to call SDPD at (619)531-2000.

Two U.S. officials with direct knowledge told NBC News on Tuesday that briefing materials prepared for President-elect Trump included information that initially circulated among Trump opponents and was passed to U.S. intelligence agencies making damaging allegations about his dealings with Russians.

Trump's transition team has not issued a formal response, but Trump himself did tweet at 8:19 p.m. ET Tuesday:

The information has not been verified by U.S. agencies.

The San Diego State Aztecs football team is capping off the season with more accolades.

It was announced Tuesday that San Diego State finished the 2016 season ranked 25th in both the Associated Press Top 25 poll and the Amway Coaches Poll. This is the second time in school history that SDSU ended a season ranked in the Associated Press Poll.

Head coach Rocky Long says the accolades are a testament to the work the players put in all year.

“I think it’s a pat on the back to all the players in our program that they’ve got to a point where everyone else knows who they are,” says Long. “I thought we were a top 25 team at the end of last year too, but no one else seemed to think we were. I think by the end of the year we were a top 25 team this year and it’s great for our program and great for the players in our program that someone else agrees.”

The players showed their excitement on social media. SDSU senior running back and two-time defending Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year Donnel Pumphrey tweeted shortly after hearing the news saying, “We finished ranked 25 in the country, which was our team ultimate goal besides another championship. #GoAztecs”

The Aztecs notched their second consecutive Mountain West title when they defeated Wyoming 27-24 last month. The team advanced to the Las Vegas Bowl where they won against Houston, 34-10, for their second consecutive bowl win.

Excerpts from President Obama's farewell address Tuesday in Chicago, as prepared for delivery.

"I first came to Chicago when I was in my early twenties, still trying to figure out who I was; still searching for a purpose to my life. It was in neighborhoods not far from here where I began working with church groups in the shadows of closed steel mills. It was on these streets where I witnessed the power of faith, and the quiet dignity of working people in the face of struggle and loss. This is where I learned that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged, and come together to demand it."

"For 240 years, our nation’s call to citizenship has given work and purpose to each new generation. It’s what led patriots to choose republic over tyranny, pioneers to trek west, slaves to brave that makeshift railroad to freedom. It’s what pulled immigrants and refugees across oceans and the Rio Grande, pushed women to reach for the ballot, powered workers to organize. It’s why GIs gave their lives at Omaha Beach and Iwo Jima; Iraq and Afghanistan – and why men and women from Selma to Stonewall were prepared to give theirs as well."

"The uninsured rate has never, ever been lower. Health care costs are rising at the slowest rate in fifty years. And if anyone can put together a plan that is demonstrably better than the improvements we’ve made to our health care system – that covers as many people at less cost – I will publicly support it. That, after all, is why we serve – to make people’s lives better, not worse."

"All of us have more work to do. After all, if every economic issue is framed as a struggle between a hardworking white middle class and undeserving minorities, then workers of all shades will be left fighting for scraps while the wealthy withdraw further into their private enclaves."

"Take the challenge of climate change. In just eight years, we’ve halved our dependence on foreign oil, doubled our renewable energy, and led the world to an agreement that has the promise to save this planet. But without bolder action, our children won’t have time to debate the existence of climate change; they’ll be busy dealing with its effects: environmental disasters, economic disruptions, and waves of climate refugees seeking sanctuary."

"To all who serve, it has been the honor of my lifetime to be your Commander-in-Chief. But protecting our way of life requires more than our military. Democracy can buckle when we give in to fear. So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are. That’s why, for the past eight years, I’ve worked to put the fight against terrorism on a firm legal footing. That’s why we’ve ended torture, worked to close Gitmo, and reform our laws governing surveillance to protect privacy and civil liberties. That’s why I reject discrimination against Muslim Americans."

"Our democracy is threatened whenever we take it for granted. All of us, regardless of party, should throw ourselves into the task of rebuilding our democratic institutions. When voting rates are some of the lowest among advanced democracies, we should make it easier, not harder, to vote. When trust in our institutions is low, we should reduce the corrosive influence of money in our politics, and insist on the principles of transparency and ethics in public service.

"If you’re tired of arguing with strangers on the internet, try to talk with one in real life. If something needs fixing, lace up your shoes and do some organizing. If you’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself. Show up. Dive in."

"My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won’t stop; in fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my days that remain. For now, whether you’re young or young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your President – the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago.

I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change – but in yours.

I am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding documents; that idea whispered by slaves and abolitionists; that spirit sung by immigrants and homesteaders and those who marched for justice; that creed reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon; a creed at the core of every American whose story is not yet written:

Yes We Can.

Yes We Did.

Yes We Can.

Thank you. God bless you. And may God continue to bless the United States of America."
