SAN ANTONIO -- Police have arrested two brothers for the murder of 24-year-old Ronald Casillas.

Two eighteen-year-old twins, Davonne and Javonne McFadden, were arrested late Wednesday night.

The brothers were reportedly involved in a shootout at a park near Horal and Revlon streets, on the city's west side.

Investigators said the violence spilled out on to Scotty Drive, were Casillas was found shot dead. An 18-year-old male was also injured in the shooting.

It started out as possibly a drug deal that turned into a robbery, said San Antonio police spokesman Sgt. Javier Salazar. My understanding is that people on both sides produced weapons and started shooting at each other. The victim came out on the losing end and died from his injuries.

Police said, shortly after the shooting, the McFadden brothers were pulled over in Alamo Heights for a minor traffic stop. During that stop, officers found a weapon in their car.

However, the brothers were not arrested that day.

A few days later, police said they were able to link the brothers to the shooting through the traffic stop.

Authorities are still looking for several persons of interest and said more arrests could follow.

The McFadden brothers were booked into the Bexar County jail on $250,000 bond.
