San Francisco and Oakland are experiencing a violent summer

San Francisco police arrested two men in connection with the September 17th murder of Edgar Yegiyan, a 22-year-old Sunset District resident who was shot to death on 35th Avenue and Rivera.

According to police Yegiyan was smoking a cigarette outside a friend’s house when he was approached by two suspects on foot around 1:17 AM. The men shot Yegiyan multiple times in the torso with an assault rifle, then took off running. Yegiyan died at the scene

Konstantin Solodukhin, 22, was arrested by SFPD Airport Bureau officers around 2:44 PM mere hours before he was scheduled to leave the country on a one-way flight. Sgt. Mike Andraychak said inspectors were not ready to disclose Solodukhin’s destination. Solodukhin’s alleged accomplice, Oren Zakhrabov, also 22 years old, was arrested near his residence in the South of Market neighborhood.

Prosecutors have yet to announce charges against Solodukhin and Zakhrabov.
