At least two firearms that were found inside the home were seized, authorities said.
“Today, the family of the slain brothers are one step closer to justice after the arrest of this wanted fugitive,” U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said. “Our task force will continue to pursue those fugitives who are wanted for egregious violent offenses.”
