SELMA, Ala., June 9 (UPI) -- Police, acting on a tip, Saturday arrested a 22-year-old suspect in the shooting deaths of two 9-year-old twins and their caregiver, Alabama officials said.
Officers from the Selma Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service and the Alabama Bureau of Investigation captured Deandra Marquis Lee inside a small apartment at the Merrimac Apartments without major resistance, said Selma police Chief William T. Riley.
"We mobilized so quickly. You got to think, at 10:30 I'm getting information and by about 11:15 the suspect is in custody," Riley told The Selma Times-Journal.
Lee, a former Selma man living in Mobile, is suspected of killing twins, Jordan and Taylor Dejerinett of Montgomery, and their 73-year-old caregiver, Jack Mac Girdner of Hope Hull, whose bodies were discovered along a road in Lowndes County Tuesday, AL.com reported.
