An extensive homicide investigation is underway following an apparent domestic violence incident in North Davis early Thursday morning that left two people dead and a Davis police officer injured. The deadly violence

responded and saw a female down inside of the residence” through the home’s front window. “Officers could see the woman on the ground; however, she still appeared to be alive,” Munoz added Thursday night.

The Davis City Council voted unanimously in favor of opening a daytime respite center for the homeless in the city’s public corporation yard following a lengthy public hearing Tuesday evening during which more than 50 members of the public weighed in. More than two-thirds of those who addressed the council supported the proposal, including many residents of the Davis Manor neighborhood, north of the proposed site. Others objected to the location, expressing concerns about the safety of children living and attending school nearby, the security of the neighborhood and diminished home values. But council members were united in moving forward with the respite center and pledged along with city staff to have regular meetings with neighbors to mitigate issues that arise and ensure the pilot project — which Mayor Brett Lee has said he hopes to replicate around the city in the future — is a success. The council voted to appropriate up to $350,000 toward the respite center for start-up

As the House of Representatives gathered to impeach President Trump on Wednesday, Davis residents rallied at the corner of Fifth and B streets to support the action, one of hundreds of such rallies across the country. Organized by MoveOnYolo, which estimated the group at about 30, the protesters sang songs, waved signs and passed out hundreds of American flags to stopped motorists while eliciting honks from hundreds of other passing cars ... but also counted three “disaffirmational” gestures.

The gathering is a place for the elderly, for those who cannot travel, for students far from home and for those in need. But the aspiration behind the Holiday Meal goes beyond this desire to provide a space for those who have nowhere else to go, this meal
