A man suspected of ambushing two elderly men and killing them in a Houston park has been arrested and charged with capital murder, according to the Houston Police Department.

The men, who have been identified as Nathanael Reyes, 67, and Guadalupe Flores, 74, were taking their daily walk in Wildheather Park around 5:45 am on Friday morning.

Police were called to a shooting scene at the park that morning after a walker found the bodies. Officers found both of the men with multiple gunshot wounds. Both men died at the scene of the shooting, and their vehicles were found in the parking lot, according to FOX 26 Houston.

Investigators described the shooting as an "ambush style" attack.
