Anthony Ray Bell-Johnson, 21, and an unnamed juvenile were arrested on capital murder charges for a shooting that left two dead, including a 5-year-old boy.

A Texas man and a juvenile were arrested over Labor Day weekend in connection to a drive-by shooting that left a 5-year-old boy and a 17-year-old dead in a northern Fort Worth neighborhood on Aug. 28, police said. 

Anthony Ray Bell-Johnson, 21, was taken into custody and charged with capital murder, unlicensed carrying of a weapon, and engaging in organized criminal activity, according to jail records. He's being held at the Tarrant County Jail on a combined bond of $763,500. 

A 16-year-old juvenile, who police did not identify, is also being held for capital murder charges.

The two suspects are accused of opening fire on a home around 2:15 p.m., killing 5-year-old Rayshard Scott and his cousin, 17-year-old Jamarrien Monroe.

An 18-month-old boy was also wounded, but is expected to survive, according to Fox 4 Dallas.
