Bayer has evicted the residents of a homeless encampment on a stretch of a West Berkeley street that the city turned over to the pharmaceutical giant earlier this year. The pharmaceutical giant hasn't said when it might evict the homeless encampment at the west end of Carleton Street, or whether residents will be offered shelter first. The sweep before dawn on Tuesday was the moment camp residents had feared since the Berkeley City Council approved a plan this summer

Nearly 100 ballots for Proposition 50, believed stolen from mailboxes, were discovered at a makeshift encampment in Sacramento. Nearly 100 stolen ballots to decide the fate of the congressional redistricting measure, Proposition 50, were found this week scattered throughout a homeless encampment in Sacramento County, officials said, sparking an investigation. The ballots for the November special election were found among a large amount of mail and other debris discovered by Sacramento County sheriff's deputies Wednesday.

The shooting happened about 8 p.m. Aug. 22 at the homeless encampment along a railroad right-of-way in the 30000 block of San Antonio Street. Authorities said both men lived at the camp and had been involved in a dispute of some kind. A witness told police Berber Zavala ran into the camp followed by two men, one later identified as Rodriguez Cazares.
