Good morning, Stockton.

Alex’s Detailing started in a garage and has grown into a trusted mobile service that was named 2025 Small Business of the Year by the Stockton Chamber due to strong local support — the husband-and-wife team, Alex and Regina Caulfield, plan to focus on quality service for their loyal clients rather than expanding.

San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office released body camera and drone footage showing 41-year-old Gregory Fitzgerald was shot on a rooftop near East Ardelle Avenue & South Walker Lane last month after he pointed a black object at deputies, with Sheriff Patrick Withrow confirming he was unarmed and the shooting now under investigation by the California Department of Justice.

San Joaquin County Human Services Agency is holding meetings in May to get public feedback on its Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan—community members will learn how HHAP funds help with shelter and housing as leaders from Stockton, Lathrop, Lodi, Manteca, Ripon and Tracy ask for ideas. The first meeting is today from 10 a.m. to noon in Tracy, with later sessions in Stockton, Manteca and Lodi.

On Tuesday, the Stockton City Council voted 6-0 to let councilmembers use the official logo on individual statements that may not show the city’s official position, and District 2 councilmember Mariela Ponce was absent.

The council also postponed sending the overdue update to the San Joaquin County Grand Jury after a 2024 report raised concerns about ethics at City Hall—additional measures like secrecy pledges were noted.

At a Tuesday night meeting, Stockton City Council voted unanimously to delay further consideration of a proposed ordinance that would require street vendors to pay a $60 licensing fee and follow new rules until May 27.

The council scheduled more town hall-style events so vendors and nearby residents can offer additional input—critics raised issues such as limited restrooms and restrictions on generators and canopies.

On May 11, Stockton Cargo SC beat Olympic Club 7–1 at Bear Creek High School in front of 350 fans, with Mika Sayfurhman—who opened the scoring—and Janelli Villegran scoring key goals.
