On Wednesday, January 31, the victim's family received a call from Arlington police that the suspects were in custody. Police said that the three suspects are now facing capital murder charges and have been accused of brutally beating 51-year-old Frank Kwasnica to death on January 19.

However, the motive for the killing is still unclear, according to homicide detectives.
