Police believe they know who shot and killed two people in South Bend in May.

St. Joseph County Metro Homicide says 18 year-old Dabian Boyd was arrested on murder charges for shooting 21-year-old Kalyn Farmer and 22-year-old Mercede Newbill.

It happened on May 6th.

Farmer showed up at Memorial Hospital with gunshot wounds, but died before he could tell police what happened.
