A Wisconsin teenager was arrested in Iowa, more than 800 miles from the home where his mother and stepfather were found slain, authorities said Tuesday.
The juvenile was stopped for running a stop sign in WaKeeney, Iowa, at 11:25 p.m. CT Friday, WaKeeney Police Chief Michael Romero said in a statement.
"The subject was taken into custody with no further incident. The subject was identified and found out to be a juvenile wanted out of Wisconsin," Romero added. "The subject is a person of interest in a double homicide that this Wisconsin sheriffs office is still investigating."
Romero declined to name the driver, but Waukesha County prosecutors identified the teen as a 17-year-old Waukesha West High School student.
The boy's mother and her husband were found fatally shot at their Waukesha home on Friday afternoon when local authorities conducted a welfare check.
