Authorities in California on Wednesday arrested a suspect wanted in the shooting deaths of a woman he had been dating and another man on a Los Angeles street in the Hollywood-area.
32-year-old Marvin Francell Williams was arrested on a no-bail murder warrant in the shootings of Ajani Patridge and 35-year-old Nadia Campbell.
The Los Angeles Police Department and an FBI Fugitive Task Force located Williams around 6:30 p.m. near Escondido Avenue and Central Avenue in Hesperia.
Patridge and Campbell were shot about 11:15 p.m. on June 16 in the 6100 block of Carlos Avenue, and they died at the scene, according to the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.
“Nadia’s three young children were in a vehicle nearby when the murders occurred,” according to an LAPD statement. “The suspect was in a dating relationship with Campbell and this crime involved domestic violence. … He should be considered armed and dangerous.”
Social Media posts from family reveal Patridge and Campbell have two daughters together.
Security video from a home in the area captured footage of the victims walking in the street with a man prior to the shooting.
Anyone with information on the crime was urged to call LAPD West Bureau homicide detectives at 213-382-9470, or 877-LAPD-247.
