POINCIANA (AP) – A fourth man has been arrested in connection with a vicious home invasion in which two people were killed and a toddler left with their bodies.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says Andre Jarvis Brown was arrested by Orlando police Monday on a warrant charging him with two counts of first degree murder.

Authorities arrested three other men in the Oct. 4 attack in Poinciana earlier this month. A fifth suspect, Jamal Brown, of Orlando, is still at large.

The men are accused of breaking into the home and demanding drugs and money. Two people were fatally shot in the head. A third was seriously injured.

Deputies found the injured man’s 3-year-old daughter asleep underneath the body of one of the victims.
