2 men found shot to death at Dallas home, police say suspect in custody after standoff

A standoff that was sparked by a shooting call early Sunday morning in Dallas' Oak Cliff neighborhood ended with a suspect in custody after police said they discovered two men had been fatally shot.

Dallas Police said the call came in around 2:30 a.m. from a home along Emhouse Street. Officers found the victims dead when they arrived. At the same time, officers said a male suspect, identified Monday as 47-year-old Heriberto Oropeza-Hernandez, barricaded himself inside a home.

The department notified SWAT. A CBS News Texas photojournalist captured video of the standoff as it continued.

Dallas Police said Oropeza-Hernandez was eventually taken into custody without incident. He is now charged with capital murder. 

As of publication, the victims have not been identified.

The investigation remains ongoing.
