PHOENIX (KYMA, KECY) - Police arrested a fugitive couple in Arizona in connection with a fatal shooting out of North Carolina.

The Parkers have been on the run since January 13.

Police say they were taken into custody Tuesday after staying in Phoenix under the fake names of Jason and Elizabeth Reardon.

They will face extradition to North Carolina.
