Two suspects wanted on murder charges for allegedly gunning down a man outside a LaGrange motel last week have been arrested, authorities said.

Both suspects were wanted since Dec. 18, when 31-year-old Jeffery Flansburg was killed following an argument outside the Motel 6 off LaFayette Parkway, LaGrange police said. Reynoso and Osterman were identified by police as the two suspects seen leaving the scene in a red Chevy Cruise.
Police said the shooting took place about 9:30 p.m and that officers arrived to find Flansburg lying on the sidewalk in front of Room 317.
“Police were able to determine that there were at least two individuals involved in an altercation with the victim just prior to the shooting,” authorities said in a news release.
