COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Colorado Springs police said Wednesday they have arrested two Fort Carson soldiers suspected in a June double homicide.

Jomar Dionisio Falu-Vives, 24, and Rudolfo Torres-Gandarilla, 20, were taken into custody on Wednesday. Police say they are suspected of killing 18-year-old Amairany Cervantes and 21-year-old Cesar Javier Ramirez while the victims were hanging garage sale signs at an intersection on June 6.

Falu-Vives faces a first-degree murder charge, and Torres-Gandarilla faces a charge of accessory to first-degree murder. Police said both were already in custody on accusations that they shot and wounded another soldier, 25-year-old Zachary Szody, while he walked on a street in Colorado Springs.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
