WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A 28-year-old Wichita man has been found guilty of capital murder in the shooting deaths of his twin brother and his sister-in-law.
A Sedgwick County jury on Friday deliberated only about 90 minutes before convicting Luis Alvarado-Meraz in the January 2015 deaths of 24-year-old Manuel Alvarado-Meraz and 22-year-old Lucero Rodriquez.
The Sedgwick County District Attorney says in a news release that the victims were found in a south Wichita apartment after relatives called police to check on them.
