person, other than an accomplice, was present in the residence, thus giving notice that a conviction would constitute a violent felony conviction (§ 667.5, subd. (c)). The complaint also included two misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charges (Health & Safety Code, § 11364) and one misdemeanor count of possessing burglary tools (§ 466). These offenses were alleged to have occurred on June 3 and June 19, 2024. A preliminary hearing was held on July 5, 2024. A City of San Mateo police officer testified that on May 24, 2024, he responded to a report from S.L. who owned a home on Norfolk Street in San Mateo. She related that she was at work when she looked at her home surveillance camera and saw a car pull into the driveway. A man got out and walked around her house into the backyard. She could see the man opened the door to a “shed that was attached to the house, looked through the shed, and then walked back towards the front of the house,” looked around, and then left. The officer also spoke to S.L.’s son, J.L. J.L. resided at the location and was home throughout the time of the events captured by the surveillance camera and observed by his mother. He did not see or hear anything. The officer also testified to viewing the surveillance camera footage himself. The officer stated that it showed a white sedan pull into the driveway. A man got out and walked into the backyard. The man pulled open the door to the “shed that was attached to the house, look[ed] inside, closed the shed door, and walked around the other side of the building . . . .” The man looked at the door and windows at the front of the house and then got in the car and left. Still photographs extracted from the surveillance video showing the backyard and shed and a man looking inside the shed were received in evidence.
