Investigators discovered the bodies at a home on Burton Drive after a severed head was found on an Arlington walking trail in the 400 block of Truman Street last Saturday.
28-year-old Hector “El Cholo” Acosta-Ojeda was arrested in Fort Worth and faces murder charges along with 18-year-old Mariano Sanchez.

Lieutenant Chris Cook said a tip helped investigators find Acosta-Ojeda’s whereabouts.
“We received a citizen tip, which we were able to develop some other intelligence on, and located him at a private residence in Fort Worth,” he said.
Investigators said they’re not ruling out the possibility that the killings are drug related.
