(Dallas Morning News) Yaser Abdel Said, a 63-year-old man who is suspected of killing his two teenage daughters in Irving more than a decade ago, has been captured, authorities announced Wednesday.

Said had been on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list since 2014 in connection with the shootings of 18-year-old Amina Said and 17-year-old Sarah Said on New Year’s Day 2008.

He was taken into custody Wednesday in Denton County, police said.

Two of Said’s relatives — his son, Islam Said, and his brother, Yassein Said — were arrested in Euless, accused of helping him to elude arrest.
