According to a press release from Toledo police, Marquise Walker was arrested Friday. He, along with Markas Walker, are wanted in the shooting deaths of Marshawn Robinson, 17, and Teryaun Perrin, 25, who were both shot in the 1400 block of Beecham Street on May 31. 

A press release from US Marshals said its Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) located Marquise Walker in the 300 block of Dennis Court in Toledo. They said he was arrested without incident. 

“Two violent individuals are now off the streets, dedicated work between the Toledo Police Department and the NOVFTF brought this case to closure," U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said in the release. "Hopefully justice can now begin for the families of these two victims.”

Robinson died of his injuries the same day he was shot. Perrin died of his injuries on Aug. 17. Markas Walker was arrested on June 13 for the shooting. Marshals said in their release that Markas Walker was arrested by NOVFTF members at an apartment on Pickle Road in Oregon. 

Both suspects were charged and indicted in the shooting, though Marquise Walker was not yet in police custody until Friday.
