Arlington police have arrested a suspect in a January killing of two people in an apartment complex.

On April 26, officers with the Arlington Police Department Fugitive Unit apprehended 19-year-old Julius Rollins and took him into custody. Rollins has been charged with one count of capital murder, CBS News reports.

On January 7, a report of two unresponsive men in an apartment parking lot was reported on the 2100 block of Cypress Club Drive in Arlington. The caller told authorities that they heard gunshots before finding the men.

Upon arrival, first responders pronounced the two men dead on the scene. 

Arlington police identified the men as 31-year-old Jy’Tavious Fields and 21-year-old Martell Brown. They have been investigating the case since.

According to police, evidence collected during the investigation led to Rollins’ arrest. Detectives are, however, still trying to determine a motive. 

Rollins is being held in the Tarrant County Jail.
