(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.

Matt DeSarno, special agent in charge for the FBI Dallas field office, said Yaser Said was “compliant and quiet” when he was arrested in the city of Justin.
