San Francisco police arrested Matthew Owyang, 19, of Daly City in connection with the shooting deaths of Jason De La Cruz, 31, and Derek Butch, 23, which happened this past weekend. If you recall, De la Cruz and Butch were murdered in the Sunset last Saturday after De la Cruz took out his Verizon Wireless sales team to celebrate a successful sales month.
According to SFPD Sgt. Neville Gittens, the arrest was made with the help of witnesses.
Owyang's mother, Valerie, claims that her son has nothing to do with the killings.
The rapscallion's bail has been set at $20 million. (Whoa. That...seems pretty steep, yes?) Gittens goes on to tell the Gate that "[t]he case is still open. We are still looking for witnesses ... [w]e are still trying to develop more information, but we believe this person was responsible for the shooting."
