The manhunt for the suspect in a double murder in Watauga is over.

Police on Wednesday arrested Keiwone Leotis Morris, 18, in connection with the deadly shooting of two 17-year-old boys on March 12.

That afternoon, Johnny Rojas and Klodian Ramaj were found shot to death inside a pickup truck in front of a home on Caribou Ridge Drive, near Denton Highway and Watauga Road.

Investigators connected Morris to the crime in part based on information on the vehicle observed leaving the scene immediately following the shooting.

Morris is charged with two counts of capital murder and is in the Tarrant County Jail on a total bond of $1 million -- $500,000 on each count.
