The victims in last night's double homicide have been identified, and the suspect arrested.

This morning, officers arrested Patrick Cretors (DOB 12/29/1989) and charged him with two counts of First Degree Murder for the shooting deaths of Geno Hansana (DOB 03/04/1992) and Ai Noy Graham (DOB 08-17-1990).

Hansana's body was found in the 3200 block of 11th Ave. S. after we received a report of suspicious circumstances at 7:18 p.m. on Sunday, August 1, 2021.

Twenty-four minutes later, our Emergency Communications Center received a report of an unresponsive man inside a vehicle in the 2800 block of 20th Ave N. Officers found Graham deceased of apparent gunshot wounds.

Detectives discovered this incident started as a disagreement between friends and ended with Cretors shooting both Hansana and Graham. Cretors dumped Hansana's body in the street in the 3200 block of 11th Ave S and abandoned the vehicle with Graham's body inside, in the 2800 block of 20th Ave N. Cretors then fled on foot.

Officers located him soon afterwards.

There are many details of this crime that are still being investigated and a lot of forensic information that is still being processed, so we are not able to go into further detail at this point.

We don't foresee any additional updates to this case until all forensic and medical examination information has been obtained and analyzed.
