The Bryan Police Department said they have arrested one man in connection to the death of two brothers, and are still looking for another suspect.

Police arrested 29-year-old Marcus Earl Ray of Brayn on Oct. 18 in connection to the case.

Police issued a warrant for 29-year-old Frankie Lee Bell Jr. of Bryan on two counts of murder and 2 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The double homicide of two brothers happened on Oct. 3 on Frankfort St.

The deceased victims have been identified as 35-year-old Terant Franklin and 25-year-old Dominque Franklin. Police said the brothers lived at the residence on Frankfort Street.

When police arrived, they found the brothers dead and a 61-year-old man wounded. The wounded man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
