A transient has been arrested and charged with murder for the death of a 68-year-old man who was found unresponsive behind a pizza parlor in Hayward last month, police said today.

Kenneth Poggi, 39, was arrested after detectives developed information connecting him to the death of fellow transient Barton Feldman, who was found unresponsive behind a pizza parlor in the 400 block of West Harder Road at 8:05 a.m. on Dec. 4. Feldman was pronounced dead at the scene. The Alameda County coroner’s bureau determined that Feldman died from multiple stab wounds.
