LONGVIEW, Texas — A Longview man will face capital murder charges after he was arrested for a double homicide that happened in 2016.
Jordan Malik Carter, 21, is accused of shooting 25-year-old Melekia Rae Russ Montgomery and 23-year-old Alexis Johnson in August of 2016.
The shooting happened in the 400 block of Johnson Street in south Longview.
Carter was indicted by a Gregg County grand jury in September of 2018.
