HUGHES SPRINGS, TX -- A 13-year-old Northeast Texas boy has been arrested on two warrants for capital murder in the deaths of his father and brother.

Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe tells The Texarkana Gazette the suspect was arrested Wednesday at his home in Hughes Springs. He is being held at an area juvenile detention center.

Authorities haven't released his name.

The bodies of 32-year-old Damon Robison and his adopted 12-year-old son were found with gunshot wounds at their home in July. Police responded to a 911 call from the 13-year-old.

Rowe says the warrants were issued following the discovery of new evidence. He says he won't release the slain boy's name because of his age.
