Police said Tuesday that detectives arrested 41-year-old Brandon Kaiser and 23-year-old Alfredo Vazquez for their alleged roles in the shootings of Clark Circuit Judges Bradley Jacobs and Andrew Adams early Wednesday outside a downtown fast-food restaurant.

Marion County Jail records shown Kaiser faces preliminary charges of attempted murder, battery, aggravated battery and carrying a handgun without a license, and Vazquez is charged with assisting a criminal. Both men are due in court Wednesday.

Police on Friday released surveillance video showing two suspects getting out of an SUV outside the restaurant.
