Police have arrested a 31-year-old Oakland man in connection with a triple homicide at a home in North Oakland on Saturday, a police spokeswoman said today. Damien Robinson was arrested after officers surrounded a home in the 900 block of 54th Street, according to Oakland police Officer Johnna Watson and initial police reports. Officer J.
