A man fatally stabbed on Market Street in San Francisco in October was identified Tuesday by the city's Medical Examiner's Office as 44-year-old Otis Patterson. 

San Francisco police on Monday had announced the arrest of Christopher Redinger, 37, in connection with the killing of Patterson in a stabbing reported around 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 11 in the 2000 block of Market Street. 

Redinger was arrested last Thursday and booked into jail on suspicion of homicide and a probation violation, police said.
