A routine fare evasion arrest at the Bay Fair BART station turned up a suspect for a San Francisco murder, and 36-year-old Johnathon Calvin Wright was handed over to SFPD and is now in County Jail on that murder charge.

BART Police engaged in what seemed like a fairly normal fare evasion bust shortly after midnight on Sunday morning, and the suspect was someone that agency was somewhat familiar with. KTVU reports that the 36-year-old fare evasion suspect Johnathon Calvin Wright has previously been arrested last year "for warrants and for no fare on a train near Oakland's Lake Merritt station."

But Wright apparently had other, far more serious charges on which he was wanted. That same KTVU report notes that Wright was handed over to SFPD, as it turns out he was wanted on a murder charge.  We now know that the murder was the November 13 stabbing on Market Street near Embarcadero Station.

KTVU’s Henry Lee has video of the BART Police arrest, on a train that was at the Bay Fair station in San Leandro. Wright is handcuffed by three BART PD officers, and keeps asking, “What did I do? What did I do wrong?” before BART Police escort him off the train in cuffs.

Wright was listed by police as being a "transient."

It was initially unreported what murder case Wright was linked to, but the SF Standard now reports that Wright is a suspect in the fatal stabbing that occurred the morning of November 13 at Market and Main streets. In that case, witnesses had said the suspect fled into the Embarcadero BART station, and presumably the suspect's image was caught on multiple cameras in the station.

As of Monday morning, Wright is listed as being in custody at SF County Jail No. 2, having been booked at 8:11 am Sunday morning. He is being held without bail on a murder charge, but does not have any future court dates listed.
