A man has been arrested in Texas for the shooting deaths of a mother and son following disputes over Wi-Fi.

Jeremiah McGee, 47, was arrested on Friday and charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of Maria Davalos, 62, and her son, Ariel Arellano Jr. The homicide investigation began on 23 October when officers responded to a 911 call at a home in Lufkin, Texas, and found both victims fatally wounded by gunfire. The man who called 911 was another son and brother of the victims.

McGee and the victims lived side-by-side in a duplex on Third Street. Police Chief Travis Brazil said investigators determined McGee was the main suspect and continued gathering information until they had enough evidence to obtain a warrant for his arrest and a second search warrant of his home. When arrested at his residence, police said they found what they believed to be the weapon used in the murders.

During the investigation, multiple people interviewed, including McGee, told authorities that there had been disputes over Wi-Fi between the neighbours.
