A suspect in a fatal shooting earlier this week on a Muni train in San Francisco was arrested in Pittsburg, police said Friday.
Javon Green, 26, was taken into custody on suspicion of homicide, carrying a concealed firearm, and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
The shooting was reported about 9:56 a.m. Wednesday at the Forest Hill station, but the train left the station before police arrived at the scene. Officers found two victims at the Castro Muni station — a 70-year-old man who was taken to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and a 27-year-old man who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police assured community members and visitors that the shooting doesn’t appear related to Pride festivities or to be targeting the LGBTQ community.
Investigators obtained video of the incident and released a still photo of a person of interest on Wednesday night. Police declined to confirm whether the photo of the person of interest was Green.
On Thursday evening, San Francisco Police officers and investigators served search and arrest warrants in the 1000 block of Power Avenue in Pittsburg. With the assistance of the Pittsburg police, San Francisco officers arrested Green without incident.
Although an arrest has been made, the San Francisco Police Department requests that anyone with information regarding the shooting call the police tip line at 1-415-575-4444 or text TIP411 to begin a text message with the police. People who come forward may remain anonymous.

There is a report that says the shooter and the deceased know each other. The shooting is over a dispute. The shooter and deceased are blacks. Where is Black Lives Matter?
The 70 years old is just an innocent by stander.
LGBTQAI2S+ stand with BLM
@Paul
It does not fit their false narrative. Only time a black life matters to BLM is when a nonblack or Officer kills one of them. However, black on black crime is a non issue to them.

Heavens to Murgatroyd!
Thank goodness the shooter wasn’t targeting a gay person!
Tough doodie for the other guy.
Thank you for info on their race. Sick of it being left out by the leftist Soros backed media.
If any race wants to kill themselves off go for it with my blessing. Just leave the rest of us out of range of your vengeance and retaliation.
Sick of my tax dollars being used for bottomless money pit issues that suck us dry with no successful change. Tired of LE always getting caught in the middle.
Let me get this straight, as it were. LGBTQ=Let’s Get Biden To Quit. BLM=Burn Loot Murder…. Hmmm, that seems about right.
Not sure what happened, but it probably involved some stereotypical situation that was motivated by a conspiracy to contradict the narrative being perpetuated by the all knowing overlords of animated culture conflict.
Black Lives Matter. Where are they now? Where is the outrage??
