2:22 PM: The fatal shooting of a 33-year-old man in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood on Sunday night was precipitated by a dispute over a cell phone, police said today.
Two people, 29-year-old Antoine Gray and 18-year-old Toyia Taylor, were arrested early this morning after the 8:15 p.m. shooting in the 900 block of Connecticut Street on Sunday, according to police.
The victim was identified today by the medical examiner’s office as Sylvestri Brown, of San Francisco.

Dangerfield would not elaborate on Taylor’s alleged role in the shooting.
“She was clearly involved in the homicide,” he said.
