ARLINGTON, Texas — Editor's note: The video published above is a WFAA report from January when the homicide happened.
A man has been arrested in connection to a double homicide that happened in Arlington back in January, according to the Arlington Police Department.
Police said Friday that officers arrested 19-year-old Julius Rollins on Tuesday, April 26 on an arrest warrant for capital murder. Arlington police said investigators believe Rollins shot and killed two family members: 21-year-old Martell Brown and 31-year-old Jy’Tavious Fields.
In January, police responded to the Felix Apartments on Cypress Club Drive just before 8 p.m. after someone called about two people being unresponsive.
Arlington police said a motive remains unclear, but evidence collected during the course of the investigation linked Rollins to the shooting.
“We cannot and will not tolerate this kind of violence in our city,” Police Chief Al Jones said. “I appreciate the tremendous amount of time and effort our homicide detectives put into working this case. It’s because of their tenacity that we were able to make this arrest.”
Rollins is being held in the Tarrant County jail, police said.
