SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF/BCN) – San Francisco police arrested two East Bay residents over the weekend, in connection with a fatal assault of a 56-year-old man last fall near San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza.
San Lorenzo residents Lonnie Alonzo Johnson, 55, Laurie Goode-Inman, 38, were taken into custody in the area of Seventh and Market Streets, after beat officers recognized them, police said.
