Welcome to the Sacramento Daily Patch Newsletter! This is where you will find all of the best news and events happening in Sacramento for Monday November 15th, 2021! First, today's weather: Low clouds and fog may break. High: 60 Low: 54. Here are the top stories today in Sacramento: Possible squatters, multiple break-ins and concerns over safety – all of these are issues neighbors in Tahoe Park say started when Opendoor bought a house on their block. The 58th Street house was bought by the tech company over the summer for $535,000. There are signs on the house, and it's boarded up, but neighbors say it hasn't been enough to stop squatters and other unwanted visitors. An Opendoor company spokesperson said in a statement, "We have the home on twice-daily security patrol, and have engaged with local police," but Tahoe Park resident Jerry Tamburino doesn't agree. "No, not at all," he said. "I've never seen security here." (CBS Sacramento) For the Sacramento area, the average price of regular gasoline as of Saturday was $4.705 which marks the highest recorded average price for the area ever, according to AAA. The automobile association said heavy rainstorms in Northern California have pinched production capacity. Although US oil prices have surged by more than 65% this year, US oil production is about 14% below the levels of the end of 2019, before COVID erupted. (CBS Sacramento)Families on Saturday got a living history lesson. Re-enactors were in full uniform as they told stories about Black soldiers after the Civil War. The nonprofit group that staged the reenactment is called the 10th Calvary Buffalo Soldiers, and they're from Northern California. Buffalo Soldiers have Living History chapters throughout the country. The Saturday event held at the North Natomas Regional Park was hosted by the group Natomas Black Parents United. (KCRA3)The California Highway Patrol is asking for the public's help locating a hit-and-run suspect that injured a pedestrian on Friday night. The 15-year-old male was hit at the crosswalk of northbound Martin Luther King Boulevard around 7:45 p.m. Witnesses told authorities he was crossing against a red light. Officials said the driver who hit him pulled to the right shoulder before leaving westbound on 47th Avenue toward Franklin Avenue. Anyone with information is urged to call 916-879-5600. (KCRA3)A seed of hope was planted Saturday at the Masjid Aisha mosque in West Sacramento to remember two souls taken far too soon. The mother of the two girls, 12-year-old Sophia and 7-year-old Sara, who were killed in 2017 wants the tree to be a reminder for all the good her daughters did in the world. Four years ago the girls were found dead inside a car in West Sacramento, along with with their 47-year-old father. Police said it was a murder-suicide. The girls' mother said this was preventable and more needs to be done within the families court system to improve safety for the children.
