"Robert Paul Byrd II, 35, had picked up his 8-year-old son at the school shortly before 5 p.m. The two were walking, holding hands, in a crosswalk at Junipero Serra Boulevard and Ocean Avenue when Byrd was stabbed by a man with whom he'd had an altercation, according to police. Byrd died of his injuries at a hospital. The attacker fled before police arrived."
"Paul Yep, interim chief of the San Francisco Police Department, said about 60 officers were deployed to investigate the case. They interviewed witnesses and used license plate readers and surveillance video to try to identify the attacker and determine where he had gone. Around 9 a.m. Friday, the suspect was taken into custody at an undisclosed location in Tuolumne County. He was identified as Daniel Patrick Rodriguez, 42."
"No city of residence was given for Rodriguez, and the police did not say why he was in Tuolumne County. He was brought to a San Francisco jail on Friday, the police said. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said that the killing was not a random attack, but neither she nor Yep would say whether Byrd and Rodriguez knew each other."
