( CNN ) -- A San Francisco man was arrested and charged with murder Sunday , two days after five people were found dead in a residence in that northern California city , police said . The victims were found around 7:45 a.m. Friday in a building near the City College of San Francisco in the city 's Ingleside district , said Commander Michael Biel , head of the San Francisco Police Department 's investigations division . There were `` four separate homicide scenes within the residence '' -- suggesting people had been killed in four different locales -- Police Chief Greg Suhr said .

'' He added later that there also was an `` edge-weapon involved , '' capable of cutting someone , but there was no evidence of gunshots . The names and ages of those killed have not been released , though Suhr did say `` we believe that the victims may be related .

The two live together in the city . The police chief said there was `` a relationship '' between the suspect and the victims , though he did not specify what that was .
