Los Angeles police officers were called to the scene of the home in Venice on April 15. They found both victims with gunshot wounds, the LAPD said.
He was arrested on May 19 after a police pursuit for an assault with a deadly weapon. Following that incident, investigators determined he was responsible for the double-murder a month earlier.
