SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco police say they have arrested two young men suspected of killing two teens near a city playground.

Police said Tuesday they arrested Davante Robinson and Gregory Morton III earlier in the week. The 21-year-old men are suspected of gunning down 18-year-old Kenyatta Butler and 19-year-old Donzel Gaines as they sat in their car in a parking lot in San Francisco's Crocker Amazon neighborhood the morning of March 9. Neither man has been assigned a public defender or retained a private attorney.

A third homicide victim was found shot to death near the same playground last Saturday night. Police haven't released the identity of the victim and have arrested no suspects for the latest killing.
