According to a report by the San Francisco Chronicle, Charles Daniels, 33, and Alberta Stewart, 23, were arrested on suspicion of homicide in the shooting death in Pittsburg of 19-year-old Jabbar Mahmood.
At 3:15 a.m. Wednesday officers responded to a call about a vehicle collision in the area of El Dorado Drive and Shasta Circle in Pittsburg. The vehicle had crashed into several parked cars and a telephone pole.
