Christien Kafton reports.

SAN FRANCISCO - A suspect has been arrested on Wednesday following a homicide in the UCSF Ambulatory Care lobby the day before. 

Tamariya Bryant-Anthony White, 23, was taken into custody and booked at the San Francisco County Jail on charges of first-degree murder and robbery.

He has yet to be charged by the District Attorney's Office. 

The Medical Examiner identified the homicide victim as 66-year-old Anton Bajjalieh. 

The arrest comes after a fight Tuesday at 6:15 a.m. when Bajjalieh and the suspect got into a physical fight in the lobby of the building at 11 Irving Street on the Parnassus campus, UCSF police said.

Right after the fight, Bajjalieh left the building and collapsed on the sidewalk, police said.
