Hit-and-run driver who ran over, seriously injured 5-year-old charged: SF DA
(KRON) — An alleged hit-and-run driver who ran over a 5-year-old girl while she was riding through a San Francisco crosswalk on her bike now faces criminal charges. On May 24 at about 6:14 p.m., 35-year-old Jonathan Lam hit and seriously injured the girl near the intersection of 31st Avenue and Clement Street, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced in a statement Friday. 'The victim, a 5-year old, was riding her bike in the crosswalk with her mother a few steps behind her … when Mr. Lam allegedly turned left onto 31st Avenue running over the victim,' the DA's office said in a statement. Vendor fraudsters scammed Fremont business out of $180K: PD Lam was driving a rented Jeep Wagoneer SUV at the time of the crash and drove away from the scene without stopping, the DA's office said. The 5-year-old girl was taken to the hospital for serious injuries and was in critical condition following the crash. Lam was arrested by San Francisco Police on June 1. Lam faces one count of leaving the scene of an accident with an allegation that the crash resulted in serious injury to the victim. Lam posted $100,000 bail on June 2 and is currently out of custody.

‘Be like Boomer': Oakland teacher mourned at large memorial service
OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) — Castlemont High School teacher Marvin Boomer was honored and remembered by family members, students, friends, and city leaders Friday during a large memorial service at Acts Full Gospel Church in Oakland. Boomer was killed in May 28, just two days before his senior students received their diplomas at Castlemont High School's graduation ceremony. Boomer and his girlfriend, Nina, were out on an evening stroll May 28 when a stolen car zoomed through an Oakland neighborhood and crashed into them on a sidewalk, investigators said. Less than a minute before the crash, the teenaged driver was chased by California Highway Patrol officers. The teacher pushed his girlfriend out of the direct path of a car that slammed into Boomer, according to a home surveillance video reviewed by KRON4 and a statement from his family. His family described the act of heroism as 'a final act of love and selflessness,' his family wrote. East Oakland community members were invited to attend the church service, which was also livestreamed by Acts Full Gospel Church. Nina was emotional as she talked about the love of her life. 'I called him 'Mr. Wonderful.' Marvin and I shared something special, it was rare. It was deeply rooted in honesty, intention, and love. We knew everything about each other, not just the easy parts, but the hard truths,' Nina said. She also spoke about the tragedy, and remembered seeing a CHP patrol car racing by. 'We didn't even know what we were walking into. Speeding through neighborhoods, high speed chases through residential neighborhoods, should not be commonplace in the city that I love. I was raised in East Oakland. It's sad to say I lost the love of my life in Oakland. And I'm mad. It was preventable. No one should have to endure this,' Nina said. The math teacher is remembered for taking students under his wings as Castlemont's College and Career Pathways Coach, as well as making 'being smart cool,' friends said. Boomer had recently completed his Ph.D in Educational Research and Policy Analysis. One of the teacher's best friends stood up in the church and said, 'Be like Boomer.' Students said their teacher cared about them, he could turn any bad day around into a good day, and he was always smiling. One Castlemont student said she had promised Boomer that she would return a stuffed bear that she borrowed from school after she graduated. The recent graduate gave the stuffed bear to his family on Friday. 'Dr. Boomer was more than a teacher — he was a mentor, a friend, and a source of strength and inspiration in the halls of Castlemont. His legacy will live on in the school community and in the countless lives he helped shape,' Oakland Unified School District officials wrote. Family members decided to have an open-casket viewing Friday because the teacher had a widespread impact spreading his joy for learning and education. A verified GoFundMe page is raising donations to honor Boomer's legacy. Nina said, 'I am grateful to have known him. I hope you will use his life as a call to action. To smile every day. Use his life as a light to be your best self.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Vancouver man arrested after driving into Pacific Coliseum entrance during Cirque du Soleil show, police say
A 30-year-old man has been arrested after driving a vehicle into the Pacific Coliseum on Thursday night, say Vancouver police. The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) said on X, formerly Twitter, that the suspect drove a vehicle into the front entrance of the arena, located at East Vancouver's Hastings Park, during a Cirque du Soleil performance. Arena security detained the man and police officers took him into custody. Police said that while it is still early in the investigation, the incident "does not appear to be an act of terrorism." The suspect, a Vancouver resident, was apprehended under the Mental Health Act, police said. At a Thursday night press conference outside the arena, VPD Sgt. Steve Addison said police believe the driver was "experiencing some sort of mental health psychosis." Police said there are no reported injuries. B.C. Emergency Health Services said it received a call at 8:02 p.m. regarding a single-vehicle collision at Pacific Coliseum. Three units responded to the scene and paramedics transported one patient. "There were lots of people here, thousands of people inside and outside of the venue," Addison said Thursday night. "We're relieved. It's a miracle that nobody was killed."
