• Pedestrian Killed By Red-Light-Runner In Fremont Identified: Police (patch.com) — A Fremont pedestrian killed last weekend has been identified as 39-year-old Abraham Fadel El-Zein, struck when a speeding driver allegedly ran a red light at Osgood Road and South Grimmer Boulevard. Police say officers had just decided not to pursue the suspect’s vehicle, and they’re now asking anyone who saw the crash to contact the Fremont Police Department with tips.
   

• Fresno's potential new ordinances could mean jail time for violations like public camping (kmph.com) — Fremont’s approach to anti-encampment enforcement is being cited as a model as Fresno considers new ordinances that could bring jail time for public camping and related violations. Fremont officials say their similar law, adopted earlier this year, hasn’t needed strict enforcement because most people comply when asked to move, offering a contrast to Palm Springs’ more intensive use of its ordinance.
