There has been an arrest in connection with a double homicide in Junction City on May 7th in which police responded to the area of 800 West 11th Street for a report of shots fired. They found Dillon Spencer, 21, and Aaron Villarreal, 19, both of Junction City deceased of apparent gun shot wounds. 

JCPD Captain, Trish Giordano, said Dontavion Wright, 18, Talladega, Alabama has been arrested on a Geary County District Court warrant charging him with two counts of First-Degree Murder.

Giordano confirmed that officers are still looking for a second suspect in the case, Nathaniel Holmes, 18. If you have information on his whereabouts call Crime Stoppers at 785-762-8477   or leave a WebTip on their Facebook page. You could be eligible for a cash reward.
