Also, we're learning the man killed outside San Francisco's Warfield Theatre over the weekend has been identified as a father of six who was working at the venue.
Nancy ChenHOST
Mission Local reporting the victim is 47-year-old Ulysses Tykee Davis, known as Bear.
Nancy ChenHOST
He worked as a security guard at that theater, and police say this shooting happened early Saturday morning.

Marisa IngemiPANELIST

Kenzo FukudaHOST
Fantastic.
Jonathan WeberGUEST
And so the travails of the media, I mean, the traditional media models were mostly destroyed by the internet, and, uh, and the media ind- industry has been trying to, to deal with that, and the journalism piece of it, uh, without, you know, much success [laughs] outside of a few places.
Jonathan WeberGUEST
You know, San Francisco is better off than most cities in terms of, uh, uh, strength and comparative strength and diversity of the local media in that there's the Chronicle and now there's the SF Standard, and there's a, there's a handful of small operations, Mission Local, a few others that, that do a good job.
Jonathan WeberGUEST
Um, so it's kind of could be worse, but, um, it, it's still actually just a shadow of what it was.
Jonathan WeberGUEST
Um-
Hana BabaHOST

Hana BabaHOST

Joe EskenaziGUEST
Uh, we will figure this out, but I, you know, clearly this is not an arbitrary decision.
Joe EskenaziGUEST
There are clearly very deep-seated reasons here, and, uh, and that is something that we all need to figure out.
Hana BabaHOST
[instrumental music] That was Mission Locals managing editor and columnist Joe Eskenazi, and data reporter Kelly Waldron.

Marisa IngemiHOST
Valkyries beat will have a wrap and some tho- some game thoughts.
Marisa IngemiHOST
Uh, Mission Local, we were running, um, a live blog tonight, so I was just kind of typing like mad woman style all night.
Kenzo FukudaPANELIST
[laughs]
Marisa IngemiHOST
If you wanna go see my thoughts there, and Megan Schutzer was, uh, @rookiesandmother and a bunch of places, um, also getting live reactions, so that was really cool, so you wanna see that.
Ben TrefnyCORRESPONDENT
There was basically like five figures for all the people running to support their campaigns until Chris Larson, the billionaire co-founder of the tech firm Ripple, donated half a million dollars, so more than five times what anybody had raised, to a political action committee that supports Ellington.
Ben TrefnyCORRESPONDENT
In an interview with Mission Local, Larson said he gave the money because he expects Ellington, if elected, to, quote, work with the mayor and not try to sabotage him.
Ben TrefnyCORRESPONDENT
So, again, like I said, I think that there's so much support for the mayor and so many supervisors.
Ben TrefnyCORRESPONDENT
And depending upon how this race goes, and you could see that Mayor Lurie has endorsed Theo Ellington and so has the DCCC.
Ben TrefnyCORRESPONDENT
So, the noteworthy thing in this race is that it got shook up a lot recently because D10, like a lot of San Francisco politics that doesn't involve people maybe getting taxed or influencing what's going to happen to people who have made a lot of money in the city, there was basically five figures for all the people running to support their campaigns until Chris Larson, the billionaire co-founder of the tech firm Ripple, donated half a million dollars, so more than five times what anybody had raised, to a political action committee that supports Ellington.
