San Francisco homicide: Suspect caught 3 months later by police on patrol

The suspect in an August homicide in San Francisco was arrested Sunday after being spotted by officers on patrol, the police said.

The 32-year-old man was wanted in connection with a fatal assault Aug. 16 in the South of Market neighborhood. Officers had been called shortly before 4 a.m. that day to Rausch and Howard streets, where they found a 25-year-old man with unspecified injuries that the police report described as life-threatening. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

On the morning of Nov. 12, officers on the 100 block of Larkin Street, next to City Hall, saw a man matching the suspect description from the investigators’ bulletin. He was detained and arrested on suspicion of homicide.
