Investigators say the victims were shot then left in the burning car.

Sexton was tracked with the help Rhode Island State Police, the FBI and U.S. Marshals.

Authorities received a tip that led to the address of a Brockton woman where Sexton may have been staying, according to a statement from Massachusetts State Police spokesman David Procopio.

Police were granted a "no knock" search warrant that was executed at 4 a.m. and Sexton was arrested in the residence.
