  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Monday,
• 0:16
  May 11, 2026. Let's get you caught up. A stolen
• 0:20
  vehicle pursuit unfolded yesterday around 3 .30
• 0:22
  afternoon. Finally ending in the 4000 block of
• 0:25
  23rd Avenue, the suspect vehicle came to a stop
• 0:28
  and both occupants attempted to flee. The driver
• 0:32
  was captured almost immediately while the passenger
• 0:34
  reportedly fled on foot, losing a shoe in the
• 0:37
  roadway before eventually being taken into custody.
• 0:40
  At this point, there's no additional information
• 0:42
  on that situation. In Sacramento County Court,
• 0:46
  District Attorney Celeena Winston secured a four
• 0:50
  -year -to -life sentence for Amyis Coogler of the
• 0:53
  2022 shooting death of Corey Shearer. Prosecutors
• 0:57
  say the sheriff's deputy responded to a house
• 1:00
  party shooting on August 5, 2022, where the victim
• 1:03
  was found suffering from four gunshot wounds.
• 1:07
  Investigators later tied Coogler to the crime
• 1:09
  through witness description, surveillance video,
• 1:12
  DNA evidence, and a firearm determined to be
• 1:15
  used in the shooting. In City Watch, Sacramento
• 1:19
  says crews have repaired more than 7 ,700 potholes
• 1:22
  in less than 50 days during a citywide pothole
• 1:26
  blitz launched in March. Officials say 77...
• 1:30
  7 ,761 potholes were filled across all eight
• 1:35
  council districts, with District 4 seeing the
• 1:38
  highest number of repairs, followed by District
• 1:40
  2. The city said crews relied on resident complaints,
• 1:45
  pavement condition data, and field inspections
• 1:48
  to prioritize repairs. Residents can continue
• 1:52
  to report potholes through the 311 City app or
• 1:57
  online. In today's weather, it will be sunny
• 2:01
  and hot with a high near 96. Tonight will be
• 2:05
  mostly clear with an overnight low around 60.
