1. Two people were hit by a car and killed on Thanksgiving evening on Oceanside Boulevard. Investigators believe the pedestrians – a man and a woman in their 40s – were crossing the boulevard around 8:30 p.m. when they were struck. The woman who hit the pair stopped and officials say the incident appears to be accidental. (NBC San Diego)
2. An Oceanside man has been scammed out of almost $475,000 he sent to a Grand Island woman over a period of time. Constance Reimers allegedly told the man she was entitled to a "gold fortune" and asked him to help pay 40 years worth of storage fees and financial assistance related to COVID-19. Reimers established a relationship with the man over Zoosk, a dating site, which became romantic. The 65-year-old woman is facing elder financial exploitation charges. (Longview News-Journal)
3. The San Diego County Government has made the public aware that a confirmed case of tuberculosis has been reported.
