One person has been arrested in connection with the shooting deaths of two women in Fort Erie.
The Niagara Regional Police Service has arrested a man following the murders of 20 year old Julianna Pannunzio and 18 year old Christine Crooks.
The pair were shot to death in January at a short term rental home in Fort Erie.
Investigators say 22 year old Christopher Lucas of Scarborough, also known as "El Plaga", was arrested earlier today, and faces two charges of First Degree Murder.
The accused remains in custody, and a bail hearing has been set for later today.
A $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest was offered, but it's not known if the money was awarded.
The NRPS wishes to thank the Pannunzio and Crooks families, for their patience and understanding during the investigation, as well as members of the public for their assistance and cooperation.
Police are also thanking the Toronto Police Service, York Regional Police Service, Durham Regional Police Service, Waterloo Regional Police Service, Halton Regional Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police for their assistance.
The investigation remains ongoing, and no further details are being released at this time.
