Randall was arrested in the City of Milwaukee, according to South Milwaukee police.
Criminal charges for two counts of 1st-degree intentional homicide and felon with possession of weapon causing death are pending against Randall in the alleged connection with the December 29, 2022 double homicide of Ava Allen, 17, and Jaelen Yracheta, 18, at 5th Ave. and Bay Heights Road in South Milwaukee.
If convicted, Randell is facing two life terms in prison without the possibility of parole. Preliminary bail was set at $500,000 for Randall, but a hold has been place by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections.
Both Allen and Yracheta were found deceased with multiple gunshot wounds inside a vehicle. Allen had several gunshot wounds to the head and Yracheta had multiple gunshot wounds to the body, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office is reviewing the criminal complaint and charges are pending.
