A public defender representing the accused described the killing as “a tragedy.”

The suspect, Daniel Patrick Rodriguez, will be arraigned Tuesday.

A witness said the victim was "gushing blood from the neck," with a look of horror on his face.

The employee and shoplifting suspect were both arrested after the incident outside the Castro pharmacy.

Witnesses directed officers to two suspects who fled westbound on Carroll Avenue.
