SAN RAFAEL, CA — Two people were arrested in connection with a fatal shooting in San Francisco in March, authorities said.

Police say Eliseo Maldonado-Alvarez, 20, and Edwin Depaz-Maldonado, 19, are responsible for a shooting the night of March 27 in San Francisco that left a man dead.

Officers arrived in the area of 3rd and Harrison streets around 11:12 that night and found a man on the ground who'd been shot several times, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

The man was taken to a hospital where he died from his injuries, police said. The victim's name was not released by police.
