San Francisco police arrested two people in connection with a shooting on a Muni bus in August that left a man dead and a woman injured, officials said Tuesday.

Ilasa Faalogoifo, 23, and Jasmine Taaga, 21, were arrested on Nov. 18 and booked into the San Francisco County Jail on homicide and attempted homicide charges, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

Faalogoifo was also charged with a post-release supervisio­n violation.

The two suspects were accused of being involved in a shooting in the Sunnydale neighborho­od.

On Aug. 3, police officers responded to reports of a shooting on a bus at about 3:20 p.m. at Velasco Avenue and Santos Street, authoritie­s said.

The shooting happened on the 8 Bayshore route, the San Francisco Municipal Transporta­tion Agency said at the time.

A 20-year-old man was found suffering from gunshot wounds and was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his wounds, police said.

Another victim, a 62-yearold woman, went to the hospital for her non-life-threatenin­g injuries.

San Francisco investigat­ors identified Faalogoifo and Taaga as suspects and alerted other law enforcemen­t agencies.

On Nov. 18, police in Daly City notified San Francisco investigat­ors that Faalogoifo and Taaga were at a hotel on the 2900 block of Geneva Avenue.

San Francisco police arrested both individual­s and “seized evidence related to the investigat­ion,” they said.
