Jackson Dylan Borrello, 16, was arrested Tuesday on charges of murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury, according to court documents.

Deputies with the Wake County Sheriff’s Office were called to a home in the 1200 block of Tobacco Barn Road near Fuquay-Varina about 5:20 p.m. Monday, according to a news release. First responders found two victims with injuries from an assault, and they were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, the release said.

Borrello’s home address is listed as being in the 1200 block of Tobacco Barn Road on his arrest warrant. He was located and detained near the crime scene after a search with K-9s and a drone Monday, according to the release.

Borrello is accused of killing a 12-year-old only identified as CB on the warrant. He’s also accused of assaulting a 9-year-old with a knife and a hammer, the warrant says.

Borrello remained in custody without bail as of Tuesday morning.
