Police say both are charged with first degree murder while armed in the 1991 shooting deaths of 29-year-old Curtis Pixley, 24-year-old Keith Simmons and 23-year-old Samantha Gillard.

Police in Washington say two people have been arrested and charged with murder in the shooting deaths of three people in a park in 1991.

Police announced Wednesday that 44-year-old Michael Green of northeast Washington and 45-year-old Benito Valdez of Arlington, Virginia, were arrested Tuesday. Police say both are charged with first degree murder while armed in the 1991 shooting deaths of 29-year-old Curtis Pixley, 24-year-old Keith Simmons and 23-year-old Samantha Gillard.

Police said Pixley and Gillard were living in Washington while Simmons was living in Fort Washington, Maryland.

A newspaper article from the time of the shooting says the three were ``killed execution-style'' and found dead in a park at 18th and Franklin streets northeast.
