PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia police have arrested a man in the murder of Jocelynn Marshall, 35 and Terrell Sanders, 39, in North Philly last month.

Bilal Simmons, 46, is charged with murder and related offenses for the couple's tragic killing.

Sources tell FOX 29’s Steve Keeley that the double murder suspect was captured Sunday, a day after an arrest warrant was issued.

The arrest comes days after mourning family members of both Jocelynn Marshall and Terrell Sanders spoke to FOX 29, pleading for answers.

Both families got the call they didn’t want on December 19th.

Marshall and Sanders were found shot and killed inside the door of Terrell’s second-floor apartment on the 1800 block of Diamond Street, in North Philly.

Terrell was a hardworking school bus driver whose son had just turned one.
