A 16-year-old boy accused of murdering his mother and brother last week in a Las Vegas suburb was arrested Wednesday after a massive, six-day manhunt, the Associated Press reports.

Adrian Navarro-Canales was found sitting in an open-air food court near the Las Vegas Strip on Wednesday morning, not far from where he allegedly killed his two family members.

Police found the decomposing bodies of his mother and 9-year old brother in the family’s apartment last week. Both had been stabbed to death.
