A 31-year-old man has been arrested and charged with capital murder after a woman and another man were fatally shot outside a north Houston home Monday morning, according to the Houston Police Department.<\/p>\n

David Herrera was arrested Oct. 5, shortly after the shooting that killed 29-year-old Dariela Cardona and Erick Gerbitz.<\/p>\n

The shooting was reported around 8:20 a.m. at a home in the 900 block of Lindale Street. Neighbors told police they heard gunshots before Cardona and Gerbitz were found dead in front of the home.<\/p>\n

Investigators believe the shooting may have stemmed from a domestic violence incident involving Cardona and Herrera, possibly her ex-boyfriend. According to police, Herrera drove past the home and fired multiple shots.<\/p>\n

After the shooting, Herrera allegedly fled the area. <\/p>\n

Investigators used Flock cameras to locate Herrera near Dayton, where he was arrested.<\/p>\n
