An anonymous tip offered around 7:30 p.m. local time led
officers to the Tenderloin neighborhood where they found the
individuals, one of whom was identified earlier on Friday as a
person of interest in the homicide case, San Francisco Police
spokeswoman Grace Gatpandan said.
Both people were taken in for questioning, though neither had
been arrested or charged with a crime, Gatpandan said.
Authorities closed off several blocks in downtown San
Francisco's South of Market neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon
after discovering the suitcase. Officers then found more remains
nearby after searching the area, police said.
The San Francisco Chronicle said the city medical examiner
determined that the remains belonged to a "light-skinned male,"
but neither an identity nor cause of death could be immediately
established.
