INDIANAPOLIS — Two men have been arrested for the shootings of two Clark Co., Ind. judges.
Alfredo Vazquez, 23, and Brandon Kaiser, 41, were allegedly involved in shooting Judges Andrew Adams and Bradley Jacobs in the parking lot of an Indianapolis White Castle on May 1. They were arrested over the weekend.
According to Attorney Larry Wilder, who represents the judges, Kaiser was arrested on charges of attempted murder and aggravated battery, while Vaquez was arrested on charges of assisting a criminal.
The suspects are not believed to have any connection to the judges.
Judge Adams and Judge Jacobs were visiting Indianapolis for a conference. Witnesses said the two were involved in some sort of confrontation with the suspects in the parking lot of a White Castle restaurant. The confrontation resulted in shots being fired, and the two victims were taken to the hospital where they continue to recover.
Wilder, who has spoken with the victims' families since the arrests, said they are all relieved to know the alleged suspects are behind bars.
"No expression of a rush to justice. They understand this is a long process. They understand this is the first phase of that process and of the mindset that, just like their recovery, none will happen quickly, but done professionally," Wilder said.
