Two men have been ar­rest­ed and charged in re­la­tion to a dou­ble mur­der in Ari­ma ear­li­er this month, the mo­tive for which, po­lice said, was an ar­gu­ment that be­gan be­tween one of the sus­pects and the vic­tims.

Po­lice said the men, ages 20 and 28, were ar­rest­ed last Fri­day and Sat­ur­day, re­spec­tive­ly, for the mur­ders of Ju­nior Castil­lo and Kei­th Ben­jamin Spencer, ear­ly on the morn­ing of Au­gust 22.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said, based on their in­for­ma­tion, one of the men re­port­ed­ly got in­to an ar­gu­ment with Castil­lo and Spencer, who were lim­ing at a bar near the cor­ner of Queen and Far­fan Streets and called for one of his ac­com­plices, who ar­rived short­ly af­ter.

Po­lice said the gun­man shot both Spencer and Castil­lo, killing them.

Se­cu­ri­ty cam­era footage of the at­tack was cap­tured.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said they re­ceived ad­vice from the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) on Sun­day to charge the sus­pects with the dou­ble mur­ders, to­geth­er with the pos­ses­sion of a firearm and pos­ses­sion of am­mu­ni­tion.

Po­lice said both sus­pects were al­so known af­fil­i­ates of a gang.
