Authorities searched for 41-year-old following the killings of two women and one man at the Arboretum Oaks Apartments. Manor Police Chief Ryan Phipps says Broderick was arrested without incident about 7:30 a.m. Monday along a rural road in Manor, an Austin suburb.

Authorities said Broderick knew the victims, but didn't elaborate on how.

Broderick is a former deputy with the Travis County Sheriff's Office in Texas. He resigned after he was arrested in 2020 on a sexual assault charge.

The victim's identities have not yet been released.

Residents in the area were urged to shelter in place for a majority of the afternoon while the search continued, but police later lifted that and said residents should stay vigilant.
