Police are searching for a 22-year-old man in connection with the murder of two people in Shelton.

KING 5 reports authorities believe Charles Longshore killed 19-year-old Tyler Drake and 37-year-old Roxy Taber early Monday.

Police say Longshore was trying to collect a debt from Drake when he killed the two.

After a standoff with police later in the morning, police took two neighbors into custody for questioning.

Lt. Les Watson says investigators believe the two being interviewed may have information about the double homicide.

Watson tells KING 5 drugs might have played a role in the murders.
