 arrested in fatal stabbing of Contra Costa College professor's son...\n By 
 Rick Hurd and David DeBolt Tuesday, July 7, 2015 - 10:57 p.m.RICHMOND -- A 
 50-year-old man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly stabbing to death the 
 son of a longtime Contra Costa College professor and Native American 
 activist, police said.\n Police arrested Mark Nelson on Tuesday evening at 
 the Sea Horse Motel at 909 Cutting Boulevard in Richmond, Capt. Mark Gagan 
 said.Nelson allegedly stabbed Lakota Brightman, 45, on Friday about 10 p.m. 
 outside a liquor store in the 1400 block of Carlson Boulevard, police 
 said.\nAter an argument, Brightman was stabbed in the upper left side of 
 his body and reportedly staggered into the store after being wounded and 
 employees called an ambulance, Sgt. Nicole Abetkov said.He died at a 
 hospital.\nBrightman served the U.S. Army as a medic in Afghanistan from 
 2007-08, his brother Quanah Brightman said.\n "The thing that's so painful 
 is that he was murdered in cold blood, and here he is, somebody who fought 
 for and served his country and what's it been, four days?" Quanah Brightman 
 said Tuesday before the announcement of Nelson's arrest, calling the 
 situation "unacceptable.\n "Brightman's death came only four months after 
 his brother, Lehman Brightman III, was found dead on train tracks in 
 Richmond. Both had been living as transients, according to authorities.\n 
 Their father, Lehman Brightman, is a member of the Sioux tribe, Korean War 
 veteran and longtime Contra Costa College history on sociology professor. 
 He taught at the school from the early 1970s until his retirement in 
 2006.\n The elder Brightman was active in the 
 ‪#‎UnitedNativeAmericans‬ particularly in the 1960s and 70s when 
 activists took over Alcatraz Island and helped lead the "Longest Walk," a 
 spiritual walk from San Francisco to Washington D.C. in 1978.\n In 1976, 
 the Brightmans' home was raided by federal authorities looking for activist 
 and fugitive Dennis Banks, who was hiding in the El Cerrito home.\n Now 85, 
 Britghtman resides in a Walnut Creek care home.\n "I've been stabbed in the 
 heart twice this year," his brother Quanah Brightman said. "My father is a 
 hero, and my brother is a hero. It's been a real brutal year for my 
 family."Police believe Nelson acted alone. He was booked at County Jail in 
 Martinez on suspicion of murder.\n Contact Rick Hurd at 925-945-4789 and
