VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - Police say they’ve arrested a man suspected of killing two people in Vancouver, Washington earlier this month.

Vancouver police said in a news release that the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested 31-year-old Arkangel Howard Thursday in Portland, Oregon with the help of Portland police.

Police say detectives interviewed Howard and then booked him into jail in Portland on two counts of murder.

The Columbian reports (https://goo.gl/rTKg6E) Howard is suspected of killing two Portland-area men: 37-year-old Allen Collins and 42-year-old Jason Benton.

Police were called to a Vancouver home March 19 on a report of shots fired. Officers found the two men dead at the scene.

Police say Howard will be extradited to Vancouver to face the charges.
