Daniel Lopez, 25, was wanted on capital murder charges until police arrested him Friday at a home in Wichita without incident.

Sedgwick County authorities charged Lopez on April 3 in the deaths of Mickayla Sorell, 25, and her daughter, Natalya Sorell.
They were found dead at their home in Wichita on March 31 after Sorell’s co-workers called to report that she hadn’t turned up for work. Police believe the shooting occurred March 28.
Lopez is also charged with criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and aggravated assault, as well as two probation violations. The bond on the probation violations is set at $250,000 each, Sedgwick County district attorney spokesman Dan Dillon said.
