A teenager who chased and stabbed his friend in a Chula Vista condo complex almost two years ago will spend 15 years to life in prison.

The brutal attack took place on August 4, 2015 in the Casa Lago condo complex. Several witnesses described a "trail of blood" and a horrific scene.

Saul Orozco pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder in the death of Carlos Gutierrez. However, the motive for the attack still is not known.

The victim and Orozco were friends and were hanging out with others before the incident, one of the friends testified at a pretrial hearing.

The friend recalled that Orozco was acting so odd, Gutierrez asked him to leave.

"He began throwing rocks from the patio at us," the friend testified.

"He didn't seem like Saul he was acting different it wasn't the Saul I knew," he added.

Gutierrez, was chased down and stabbed to death inside one of the units.

Orozco followed the victim, straddled him and stabbed him to death with a 9-inch kitchen knife, investigators told NBC 7.

Orozco, who was 19 at the time, attempted to flee from the scene after the incident occurred but was caught by police about a quarter of a mile away.

After Orozco serves 15 years, his case will be re-evaluated to decide whether to give him a life term.

The Casa Lago complex is located near the Otay Lakes Reservoir and the Olympic Training Center in the Eastlake community of Chula Vista.

For the first time in the history of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, the public can now access a trail running through the base.

The trail has been a point of contention for decades.

Things reached a boiling point more than a year ago when military police handed out citations to mountain bikers and seized their bikes.

Now after months of negotiations mountain bikers can use the trail again, with some important conditions.

Kevin Loomis, head of the San Diego Mountain Biking Association, was among the first riders to get his military-approved permit card.

"After 20 years all the parties came together and actually agreed on something so many people said would never happen," Loomis said.

His organization, along with elected leaders went to bat for riders who've used this trail for decades.

Twenty years ago, when the Marines took over Miramar from the U.S. Navy, they put in a firing range near the trail and started cracking down on riders, mostly with warnings.

At least 45 mountain bikers had their bikes confiscated on Jan. 15, 2016 near Sycamore Canyon. At the time, a spokesperson for MCAS Miramar said the bikers were repeatedly warned and signs were posted, saying they were not allowed to be on federal property. Many of the bikers disputed the signage.

People can fill out an online form and bring it to the east gate of Miramar to apply.

The online form is very extensive - asking details about your race and for proof of citizenship.

Marines at MCAS Miramar say it's the standard DOD form used across the country for access to military bases.

“There are legitimate concerns out there, could be unexploded ordnance, firing ranges, explosive facilities, that are out there and ultimately this is an active military base, those are training areas that Marines use,” said Capt. Chris Robinson, a law enforcement operations officer on MCAS Miramar.

Base officials have received 72 permit applications, but many more mountain bikers use this trail.

Anyone who uses the trail without a permit can be fined up to $500 and will have to go to federal court. Also, they could have their mountain bike seized by the Department of Defense.

Furthermore - they say it's important that the riders who fill out the application and pass the background check stay on the marked trail.

It's a 4.1 mile section and they've put up new signs to make sure people don't venture into areas where they aren't allowed.

"You've got to go from the beginning of the canyon to the end of the canyon," Loomis said. "If you start climbing up into the mountains, it's not gonna happen."

The owner of a company who pleaded guilty to illegally selling thousands of butane canisters to smoke shops was sentenced in a San Diego court Friday.

Bosco Kwon, 53, received three-years’ probation in addition to the $1,026,614 and 94,152 canisters he agreed to forfeit last February.

Kwon, whose company BK Imports was the nation’s largest supplier of butane that is specifically used in the making of hash oil, admitted he sold the product knowing it would be illegally used for that purpose.

In his plea agreement, Kwon admitted the manufacture of hash oil poses a significant risk of fires and explosions.

Kwon’s company sold butane illegally to wholesalers and retailers in San Diego County and throughout the United States and imported more than 350,000 canisters of butane into the country each month, according to the plea agreement.

Since 2011, 4 deaths and 29 serious injuries in California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington have been attributed to the manufacture of hash oil using Power butane. It has also caused 54 fires.

One in seven San Diegans living in East County, approximately 14 percent of the population, lived in poverty from 2011 to 2015, according to a new report released by the Center on Policy Initiatives (CPI). 

The report, released Thursday, looked at residents living in areas like Santee, El Cajon, Spring Valley and further east to the county line using census data.

Approximately 87,000 people live in the East County region. 

Overall in the East County region, 35.6 percent of those 16 or older and living in poverty are employed.

The median annual pay for a full-time employee living in East County was $24,093. At the same time, $48,040 is needed just to afford the median rent for a 2-bedroom apartment in the region, according to the CPI report.

In El Cajon, the median household income of $45,925 has dropped more than $10,000 in less than a decade.

In 2015, the median household income in Spring Valley was $62,356. That is $8,284 less than it was in 2007, according to the report.

For reference, San Diego County as a whole has 14.5 percent of their residents living under the federal poverty level. 

In Santee, just 7.8 percent of residents live below the federal poverty line, according to the report. 

However, in El Cajon: 24.2 percent of residents in 2015 met the poverty rate. 

The report also found that children were especially likely to live in households meeting the poverty rate, especially in cities like El Cajon and Lemon Grove. 

In East County, Native Americans were most likely to be living in poverty, with 23.1 percent of their residents meeting those standards.

Read the full report here. 

The report defines poverty rate as the percentage of the population living below the federal poverty level. Residents living in economic hardship are those living with household incomes under 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

The report also looked at the economic hardship rate, a measure of poverty adjustable for living costs. 

Vista Firefighter and heart transplant recipient Captain Mike McFadden, lowered the Donate Life Flag at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido on Friday morning during a ceremony to honor fallen San Diego Police Department Detective Tim Williams.

Williams, who died in a bike accident in 2015, was a 30-year SDPD veteran and an organ donor whose organs helped save the lives of three people.

“Being here today is obviously an honor," McFadden told NBC 7. "I’ve worked many, many years alongside police officers … They save lives every day."

The lowered flag was then presented to a Williams' family representative.

"This particular officer and his family made that difficult decision to donate his organs and that in turn saves numerous other lives, and I can’t thank that family enough for their gift," McFadden said. 

McFadden himself was not a recipient of Williams' organ donations.

McFadden was awarded Vista Firefighter of the Year and received is heart transplant 10 years ago. After his surgery, he became the first person in the country to return to active duty following a heart transplant.

“When I got the call it’s just mind-blowing,” McFadden said of finding out he would receive a transplant. “You’re so sick to be listed on a donor list, you have to be so sick to begin with, and you really don’t have much of a life existence and this is an opportunity to return to normal life functions, whatever it is you do, so it was just an amazing, amazing day."

McFadden says the transplant doesn't solve everything, and he still has health struggles, but "the bottom line is you’re alive and you’re able to do what you normally would do."  

A short ceremony preceded the flag lowering event.

Donors saved 363 lives in San Diego County alone last year – 49 of those operations took place at Palomar Medical Centers in Escondido and Poway, according to Palomar Health.

President Donald Trump is known for his quick-fire tweeting, a habit he believes helped him win the election. But as his term progressed, the number of likes and retweets each post received started to fall.

As he approaches his 100th day in office, @realDonaldTrump's rate of interactions is about a quarter of what it was on the week of his inauguration, according to data from CrowdTangle, the social media-monitoring platform. The official @POTUS account's interaction rate is about one-eighth of what it was the week of Jan. 20.

While the drop-off in likes and retweets, known as engagement, may seem like a blow for someone so committed to winning, social media experts say it's unsurprising.

"The dust is settling on social media" as people are winding down after a social-media frenzied election, said Jennifer Grygiel, an assistant communications professor at Syracuse's Newhouse School of Public Communications. 

Despite a fall in interactions, the following for Trump's two accounts has continued to grow, by a combined 27 percent — though the rate they've grown has also slowed down as he settled into the White House. Today @realDonaldTrump has 28.4 million followers, while @POTUS has 16.8 million followers.

@realDonaldTrump's most popular tweets as president all came in the first few weeks of his presidency — his most popular remains a Jan. 22 tweet noting the right to peaceful protest after the Women's March on Washington. (@POTUS tweets get much less engagement than Trump's personal account.)

Since then, most tweets have had much less engagement. The most popular tweet from March, in which he called Barack Obama a "Bad (or sick) guy!" and alleged without evidence that his predecessor tapped his phones at Trump Tower, received the 25th most likes and retweets since Jan. 20. April's most popular message wished "Happy Easter to everyone!" and was his 25th most popular as president.

On average, the accounts collected a combined 2.14 million interactions each week since the inauguration, according to the CrowdTangle analysis. Interactions with @realDonaldTrump spiked the week after the inauguration, while those with @POTUS spiked around his late-February address to Congress. 

The decline in interactions isn't necessarily indicative of an unsuccessful administration, Grygiel said.

"People are moving on with their lives, and also just consuming updates about the new administration by way of more traditional means, such as reading stuff that's published by journalists," she said.

Engagement could be falling because people find his tweets to be less helpful, according to Tom Hollihan, a communications professor at the Annenberg School of Journalism at the University of Southern California.

"One gets a sense even his hardcore supporters think [his] tweets are less helpful to his cause," Hollihan said, based on polling he's seen. 

Two-thirds of millennials, consummate social media users, found Trump's tweeting to be inappropriate, according to a Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics survey conducted in March. A January NBC/WSJ poll found that nearly 70 percent of Americans thought Trump's Twitter habit was a bad idea.

The White House didn't respond to requests for comment for this story.

The president's tone varies greatly between his Twitter accounts, said USC professor Hollihan and Grygiel, the Syracuse professor. They had different explanations for why.

The @realDonaldTrump account frequently talks about the news cycle and "fake news" — something that isn't usually discussed on the @POTUS account, according to data that Grygiel collected through Sysomos, a social media analytics company.

Other popular words on @realDonaldTrump include "great," "big" and "Trump." @POTUS frequently mentions @realDonaldTrump — a sign of cross promotion, Grygiel said — along with "POTUS," "VP" and "White House," according to her analysis.

Hollihan said the @POTUS account is clearly being run by his advisers, while the @realDonaldTrump account is run from the president's cellphone.

But Grygiel said she believes Trump has split his time between his personal and official accounts, a strategy she calls "brilliant."

"He’s essentially split himself in two, and he has two strikingly different tones," Grygiel said.

Grygiel likened Trump's tone on @realDonaldTrump to that of "a mafia boss" — it appeals to the part of his base that wants him to be more aggressive. On the other hand, @POTUS has a more diplomatic tone she believes appeals to people outside of his base.

"It’s a really amazing strategy," Grygiel added. "I think he's essentially pandering to two populaces in this country."

Hollihan doesn't believe there is much of a strategy, and that Trump's tweets seem to sow confusion among his advisers and cabinet.

"I think instead what we see is that he's continuing this set of practices that seemed to work for him during the campaign," when Trump's reactiveness to news developments dominated his feed. "In fact, he's conducted himself in the first 100 days of his presidency exactly the same way he sought to conduct himself during the campaign."

Trump seems to tweet about a series of different issues every day in the White House, like health care, tax reform or renegotiating NAFTA, Hollihan added, rather than picking one to focus on so he can rally public and congressional support.

As for Trump's predecessor, Grygiel said there's no way to really compare Trump's Twitter habits and Obama's. Twitter and Facebook "really came of age" when Obama was in office, she said.

"Social media was something Obama had to adopt and grow over the eight years he was in office," Grygiel said. "He was probably one of the first presidents to hand over large-scale social media accounts to a new administration."

Hollihan said Obama used Twitter in a more reflective way.

"Nothing about Obama's temperament suggested he acted without...reflection, and yet that's what defines Trump’s use of social media," he said.

Both presidents' Twitter habits are vastly different, both in how often they tweeted and in content. Obama occasionally tweeted from his @POTUS account to comment on policy or current events, such as when the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.

Trump, on the other hand, has tweeted nearly every single day since taking office. He tweets from @realDonaldTrump five times per day on average, according to CrowdTangle data. @POTUS sends out three tweets per day. 

"This is pretty remarkable that we have a president who's so willing to reveal that he is influenced by the last thing he hears on TV, or reads," Hollihan said.

A man, suspected in the murder of a family member in Colorado, was last seen in San Diego before his arrest Friday.

Michael John Robinson was arrested in Riverside County and is facing first degree murder charges, according to the District Attorney's office in the state of Colorado.

Robinson had last spoken to someone in San Diego in June, 2016, although the exact location is unknown, according to District Attorney Christa Newmyer-Losen.

His vehicle was found abandoned in San Diego around the same time, Losen said.

Robinson had left Colorado between June 15 and 17 before heading to San Diego.

He will be extradited to Colorado, Losen said.

Expect conditions that could lead to fires Friday in Southern California, the National Weather Service warned.

The NWS issued a fire weather warning for Riverside and Imperial counties beginning at 10 a.m. with strong winds and low humidity in the forecast.

A wind advisory was issued for San Diego and Orange counties beginning at 10 p.m. Friday until 2 p.m. Saturday.

Travelers should be prepared for strong gusts along Interstate 15 through the Cajon Pass into the Inland Empire Friday evening through mid-morning Saturday.

Utility officials say some 18,000 customers were without electricity in Los Angeles and surrounding areas late Thursday night as huge, whipping gusts hit places like the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys.

In downtown Los Angeles a traffic-light pole snapped and fell to the ground.

The National Weather Service says winds reached about 40 mph in Los Angeles and are expected to hit 65 in the surrounding mountains.

High winds are expected to stay in the region until Saturday.

Anyone heading to the Colorado River Valley can expect to see warnings of fire danger.

Winds are expected to be between 20 and 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph according to the NWS forecast.

Humidity may be as low as 8 percent.

NBC 7 Meteorologist Jodi Forecast said temperatures in the low to mid 70s along the coast with 80s in the East County were expected in the NBC 7 First Alert Forecast.

“After about 10 p.m. tonight, wind will start to whip,” Kodesh said.

Police officers in San Diego responded to a disturbance call on Friday morning, with a report of someone armed with a rifle in the Paradise Hills neighborhood.

The residence is on Alleghany Street, near Paradise Hills Elementary School.

According to Lieutenant Mark Saunders, the call came in to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) as a report of a domestic violence dispute involving a rifle.

Saunders said SDPD officers arrived on scene and cleared the home. Officers said they found bullet holes at the residence. They concluded that the bullet holes were not from the day’s incident -- no shots had been fired.

Saunders also told NBC 7 that the domestic violence dispute included the female victim being strangled by the male suspect.

After drinking water tainted with lead was found in at least three schools in San Diego, many parents are wondering what they can do to check the water in their home.

Testing kits are available at most home improvement stores. The test asks users to fill a little vial with tap water from their kitchen sink. The sample goes into an envelope and should then be sent off for testing.

The Environmental Protection Agency says test results that show more than 15 parts per billion in drinking water are dangerous.

Because the city documents no lead pipes in its distribution system, it is required to test a very minimal number of homes, and it must prioritize testing of homes built between 1982 and 1986, according to rules set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

The American Academy of Pediatrics told NBC 7 Investigates lead poisoning can cause behavioral issues and learning disabilities in children.

A one-acre brush fire was reported in Lakeside Friday afternoon, Heartland Fire officials confirmed.

By 4:39, the fire had spread to one-acre.

According to Heartland Fire, smoke from the fire was visible from a distance.

No other information was given.

It’s a must-see attraction for those who wander across the U.S.-Mexico border, into Tijuana’s Avenida Revolución. The street is lined with colorful displays of art, flavors, and of course the world-famous zebra donkey.

Mario Rivas has been working in the Revolución for four years as owner of “Junior”, one of several zebra donkeys in the area. For more than 100 years, tourists have stopped by to snap a photo next to the colorful donkeys disguised in zebra stripes.

But since the beginning of the year, Rivas said he’s noticed a decline in visitors from the U.S.

He added he believes it’s due to President Donald Trump’s stance on immigration. Rivas said people are afraid to travel to Tijuana without a guaranteed return.

But that’s not the only problem merchants like Rivas are facing.

The tourists who do visit the Revolución aren’t necessarily willing to pay for a picture with the zebra donkeys. In this digital age, people are instead opting to snap a picture with their own cell phones. The reality is that fewer people want a physical copy of a photo.

Now merchants like Rivas are competing with cell phone cameras to capture the attention of tourists. So much so, that the price for a photo next to a zebra donkey has dropped from more than $5 to just under $2. Now in a matter of seconds you can have a digital copy of that photo ready to share on social media.

One thing is for sure, the zebra donkey is a one-of-a-kind species; the product of creative and clever locals. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or lived in the area your whole life, a photo next to this cultural icon should be on your to-do list.

A driver was trapped inside his vehicle for nearly an hour following a crash Friday afternoon in Rancho Bernardo before being extricated by emergency rescue crews, San Diego Fire-Rescue (SDFD) officials said.

According to SDFD, a 30-year-old man lost control of his Hyundai as he traveled northbound on Carmel Mountain Road through the intersection of Camino Del Norte and struck a tree in the center median on Paseo Lucido.

The crash happened at approximately 2:51 p.m. SDFD, Poway Fire Department, Miramar Fire Department and San Diego Police responded to the crash.

SDFD reported the driver extricated at 3:38 p.m., approximately 57 minutes after the crash, and he was transported to the hospital via ambulance with serious non-life threatening injuries to his hip and femur.

An emergency medevac was requested during the extrication but was later cancelled, according to SDFD.

The first case of human West Nile Virus (WNV) illness for this year was confirmed in Central California, according to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).

The case was discovered in Kings County, CDPH confirmed--which includes cities such as Corcoran and Hanford.

According to public health officials, WNV activities were found in San Diego, Orange and San Mateo counties. The rainy season has also effected the mosquito breeding sites.

WNV can be transmitted to humans and animals through infected mosquitoes--although the risk serious illness for people is low, CDPH said.

But the virus can cause serious neurological illnesses in less than one percent, including meningitis or encephalitis. Individuals over the age of 50, or those with diabetes or hypertension have a higher chance of getting sick.

The CDPH is urging all Californians to take necessary precautions against the virus by doing the following:

• Apply insect repellent that contains DEET, eucalyptus or lemon oils, picaradin
• Watch out for mosquitoes in the early mornings and evenings since they usually bite around that time
• Drain any standing water on your property, including flower pots and buckets to stop mosquitoes from laying eggs

If you’re one of the 37 million americans who snores, you’ll want to keep reading this report.

Not only can snoring ruin your partner’s shuteye but it may be a warning sign of a potentially life threatening condition.

Consumer Reports has some important advice on how to stop snoring, and on when it might be time to visit a doctor.

Nasal strips don’t always work. Instead try lifestyle strategies to help keep your airway open and help you stop snoring. Like easing a stuffy nose - elevating your head and sleeping on your side - avoiding alcohol at least 4 hours before bed -  quitting smoking - and yes, also losing weight. If these steps don’t work, it’s probably time to call a doctor who can test you for obstructive sleep apnea or OSA.

OSA, marked by breathing stops and starts during sleep, occurs when something partly or completely blocks your airway. It affects 34 percent of men and 19 percent of women who snore regularly and can heighten the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, and hypertension.

An oral appliance can help keep the airway open. Or your doctor might prescribe continuous positive airway pressure or C-PAP treatment which uses a machine to increase air into your throat.

If all else fails surgery may be your only other option.

Consumer Reports says ask your doctor about procedures which can open up the airway and help you stop snoring.

So don’t underestimate the effects of snoring.

County Supervisor Dianne Jacob is demanding the state pay more than $3 million for the annual cost of added security at the new downtown courthouse.

“These are state courts,” Jacob explained. “So it is the state’s responsibility to pay for the security. Period.”

Jacob said she is frustrated by a 15-month delay in the county’s effort to obtain that funding. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore and the county’s Chief Administrative Officer made the request for funds on January 14, 2016. In the request, they cited a government code that says, “funding for increased trial court security costs…shall be funded by the (state) General Fund.”

That code also says “requests...shall be evaluated as expeditiously as possible.”

Jacob told NBC 7 Investigates “the state has its own way of doing business, and they too often move very, very slowly. Way too slow.”

The new downtown courthouse on Union and “C” Streets is scheduled to open in mid-July. Gore says the 22-story highrise presents unique challenges for safety and security, compared to the existing courthouse on Broadway, which had courtrooms on just five floors. Gore’s request for extra funds includes a detailed, 108-page explanation about why he needs 33 additional deputies to guard the lobby, courtroom floors, and other areas.

Several of those deputies will be used to transport prisoners back and forth from the county jail to the new courthouse, two blocks away. Gore says he also needs specially-equipped vans for those secure transports. That extra, costly security is necessary, he says, because the state Judicial Commission, which supervised construction of the courthouse, decided not to fund construction of a tunnel, the sheriff and San Diego Superior Court Judge Runston Maino say would safely, conveniently and economically move prisoners between the jail and courthouse.

In response to questions about the delay in approving the county’s request for funds, a spokesman for the state Department of Finance told NBC 7 Investigates his department is “indeed in receipt of the (January 2016) request and it's currently under review. (We) don't have a fixed time (or range) on when that review will be done..."

Gore declined a request for an interview, but his spokesman confirmed the department has hired the additional deputies with funds from his department budget because “...it was important to have the staff trained and in place as soon as the courthouse open(s).”

The Sheriff also spent $450,000 for the one-time cost of equipment and supplies. He estimates the annual, on-going cost of the added security is $3.3 million, increasing yearly for inflation and pay raises.

San Diego County spokesman Mike Workman said the county believes the state will eventually approve the request for funds, and pay at least a portion of the $3.6 million requested for the fiscal year 2015-16. Workman told NBC 7 Investigates the money would come from the state's mid-year budget revision, which should be completed in May. That funding must also be approved by the state legislature.

As one dangerous chase ended in a smoky heap on a Southern California freeway Friday night, another pursuit broke out miles away.

The first chase began at around 9 p.m. for a man suspected of firing several shots at an unoccupied vehicle in Santa Fe Springs, according to Whittier police.

It ended in a smoky heap on a freeway in Orange County on Friday and the driver putting his hands out of the car to surrender peacefully.

No one was injured in the shooting and the man returned to the scene as police were responding, which is when the chase ensued, police said.

The chase lasted about an hour and 15 minutes, mostly on the southbound Santa Ana (5) Freeway, police said.

The man was taken into custody in the San Clemente area. No one was injured in the chase.

A second chase began at around 10:21 p.m. in West Los Angeles for two suspects in a white Cadillac, according to the LAPD Southwest Divison.

Police said they were wanted for "criminal threats" but couldn't elaborate.

The Cadillac chase began on surface streets at Western and Washington and through the westbound 10 Freeway. The suspects exited the freeway and surrendered at Wilshire and Veteran about 20 minutes after the chase started.

The Padres started the last leg of their seven game road trip at AT&T Park against the San Francisco Giants Friday night. The series got off to a disappointing start for the Friars after they dropped the first game 4-3.

Right handed pitcher Luis Perdomo got the start for San Diego. He faced Giants ace Jeff Samardzija. Perdomo got off to a rough start and gave up two runs in the first inning. Samardzija had a much better night. The righty didn’t allow a hit through the first four innings. Friars infielder Ryan Schimpf put a stop to that in the fifth with a two run shot that tied the game. Schimpf has homered in three consecutive games. Later in the inning Austin Hedges singled to center field and scored Cory Spangenberg. That gave the Padres a 3-2 lead.

The Friars stopped at three runs in this contest. Tied again in the ninth inning, Giants rookie Christian Arroyo made his presence known with a solo homer that gave San Francisco the 4-3 victory.

The series continues from AT&T Park with game two at 6:05 p.m. on Saturday.
