Daly City Man Arrested In SF Pizza Parlor Slayings

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / AP / BCN) ― Police arrested a Daly City man Tuesday on suspicion of gunning down two people outside a San Francisco pizza parlor in a dispute over free pizza.
 
Matthew Owyang, 19, was charged with two counts of homicide on a $20 million arrest warrant.

Owyang was arrested at his home in connection with the deaths of Jason De La Cruz, 31, and Derek Butch, 23, who were shot to death early Saturday outside a Sunset District pizzeria at 19th and Irving streets.

Family members of De La Cruz said he was a manager with a Verizon cell phone store in Daly City and was celebrating a good sales month in March by treating his staff to pizza.

A customer at the scene demanded that De La Cruz' "Free pizza on me" pronouncement include him. The two men fought over that difference, and gunfire broke out shortly thereafter leaving De La Cruz and Butch dead, according to SFPD homicide investigators.
