Bedford police have arrested a man they believe killed a 30-year-old woman and an 8-year-old boy at an apartment complex Wednesday night.
Officers said Cedric Ricks, 38, is the suspect in the double-homicide.
Around 8:40 p.m. another police agency transferred a 911 call to Bedford Police. Authorities say the caller identified themselves as a relative of the suspect and told police Ricks had attacked the family at an apartment complex in the 1400 block of Park Place Boulevard.
When they arrived, officers found the Hispanic woman and 8-year-old child dead inside a second floor apartment.
A 12-year-old Hispanic boy was also injured with stab wounds. Paramedics rushed him to Cook Children's Hospital in critical condition. Doctors say they are hopeful the 12-year-old will survive, but say the boy suffered a brain injury due to the violent attack.
An 8-month-old was also in the apartment, but did not appear to be hurt. That child is in Child Protective Services custody.
Initially after the arrest, officers named Ricks as a suspect, but were unable to locate him.
As officers investigated the apartment, they found the woman's car was missing and put out an alert to Texas and surrounding states to be on the lookout.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol found and arrested Ricks approximately three hours later about 70 miles north of the Texas/Oklahoma border about 11:15 p.m.
Police are now working with Oklahoma authorities to transfer Ricks back to Texas.
Ricks has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Each count of murder carries a $2 million bond and the attempted murder charge carries a bond of $500,000.
Police say Ricks and the victim were an estranged couple that had one child together, the 8-month-old child found unharmed in the apartment. Investigators say there was a protective order issued in the past but that the order had expired in January of this year.
Neighbors told NBC 5 at the time of the stabbing they heard loud screams coming from the apartment.
"It was wailing," said neighbor Jeri Watson. "It was extremely loud, I mean we heard it from across the street. Like, 'Oh my gosh. Something happened,' you know?"
'It's just sad," Watson said. "No matter what the age, it just makes you wonder what happened and why and who's the person and is the person caught."
NBC 5's Amanda Guerra contributed to this report.
