A man wanted in connection with two separate shooting deaths was in police custody Tuesday night, according to Decatur police.

According to authorities and media reports, U.S. Marshals found Ricardo S. Bass, 40, who has addresses in Decatur and Huntsville, in a car near Alabama 20 and County Line Road, where Madison and Limestone counties meet, around 7:20 p.m.
