LAS VEGAS _ Federal authorities have arrested a man in connection with the killings of two homeless men in Las Vegas and the shooting of two other people, authorities said Tuesday.
Joshua Castellon, 26, of Las Vegas is being held in custody by federal authorities on a weapons charge, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department issued a warrant Tuesday against him on murder charges.
Castellon was arrested Friday by a special agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The killings of two men on Jan. 29 and Feb. 2 sparked fears in the homeless community that a gunman was targeting homeless, and authorities released surveillance video and held news conferences in an effort to capture the suspect.
Two other men who were shot are recovering from their wounds, police said, and expected to live. Police said a gun that they believed was used in all the shootings had not been recovered.
