Jackson police officers captured a man Monday who was being sought in connection with a double slaying.

Officers had surrounded a house in Jackson earlier Monday, but they did not find Joshua Dukes, 19, who is accused in a March 5 shooting on Westhaven Boulevard that killed Eli Nunez, 22, and Daniel Omar Gomez, 27, police said. A dog was also shot and killed.

"We are getting leads and we are going to leave no leaf unturned," Chief Lee Vance said.

Vance said police would do whatever it took to capture Dukes, and a few hours later, he was arrested near McDowell Circle after a brief foot chase Monday afternoon.

A neighbor said she was terrified when police swarmed the home looking for Dukes.

"I don't know what was going on," the neighbor said. "I was just in my house, I heard a lot of commotion. With all the police out here, I felt even more safer that they was gonna get whoever they was looking for."

Some people at the house that was surrounded earlier were also taken into custody. Vance said they could have outstanding warrants and are being questioned.

Another man, Anthony Harris, 19, was arrested earlier this month in connection with the slayings. Both men face two counts of capital murder.
