BALTIMORE -- A Florida man was arrested for the murders of his ex-wife and a man she was living with in Frederick County, according to deputies. 

David Phillip Turner, 33, from Miami, was taken into custody on Saturday in Ft. Lauderdale. He has been charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Crimea Baker and Sean Lange in New Market last month

Baker and Lange were found dead from multiple gunshot wounds in the upstairs bedroom of a home on Mandalong Court. Four children, all 13 years old or younger, were unharmed after hiding until morning when they believed it was safe, deputies said. 

Deputies said Turner is Baker's ex-husband and the father of three of the children, and Lange is the father of one of the children.

"Sheriff's Office detectives have worked tirelessly, seven days a week for over a month with the help of multiple law enforcement agencies to identify the person responsible for these shocking murders," Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said. "This investigation has been a priority of this office since the morning of the shootings.  In anxiously waiting for closure and the arrest of the person responsible, the public has been extremely patient and can now be completely confident that this was a targeted domestic-related murder."

The FBI and several Miami police agencies were involved in the arrest.
