A Marysville man who attempted to kill another man in 2024 by forcing him onto railroad tracks at knifepoint as a train approached could spend the rest of his life in state prison.

The crime was McCray’s third strike, the Yuba County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement announcing his sentencing . “The three-strikes law was designed for people like Kyle McCray, who need to be locked up for life in order to keep the rest of us safe,” said Yuba County District Attorney Clint Curry, in the statement. “My office will do everything in our power to make sure McCray spends the rest of his life behind bars.” Prosecutors said McCray, who had a criminal history that included violence against homeless people, targeted a man on railroad tracks in Marysville in October 2024.

Sacramento-area salad, rice bowl restaurant to open second location in Roseville

With its beginnings in Elk Grove, a salad and rice bowl restaurant is launching its second location after several months of business. Bohl, which specializes in healthy-food options, is opening a new restaurant at 10357 Fairway Drive in Roseville. The location will open in 2027, according to its instagram. The business is owned by Hailey and Kyle Garret, a married couple who used to run Dutch Bros Coffee franchises in Northern California. The two have been business owners since 2015 and decided to open their own restaurant, they said in an online post. “Through it all, we longed for a place that was fast, customizable, and made with real, high-quality ingredients —a spot where we could eat often and actually feel good about it,” the couple wrote. “But we couldn’t find exactly what we were looking for. So, we decided to create it ourselves.” The Garrets open the first Bohl at 9257 Laguna Springs Drive in March. The Garrets wrote that Bohl was “born out of (their) love for bold flavors (and) fresh food.” One of its signature salads is its “lettuce enter the dragon” bowl with chopped romaine, cucumbers, spicy broccoli, kimchi, grilled chicken and shredded carrots dressed in
