Detectives arrested two teenage brothers as suspects in the murder of a mother and her son, the Miami-Dade Police Department announced on Wednesday night.
A mother and her 21-year-old son were killed in February when an overnight drug deal turned deadly. Now, three months later, police say they’ve arrested two teenagers who were involved in the shooting.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – The bond between Alexander Garrido and his mother Diana Ceballos was unbreakable.
The mother and son were together Wednesday around midnight when they were ambushed by a gunman near NE 118th Street and 13th Avenue in Miami-Dade County.
The injuries were fatal.
“My mom and him were so close. He had my mom’s personality. He was so sweet,” says Diana’s daughter and Alexander’s sister Valerie.
She is now planning both of their funerals.
“It was unexpected. We’re so in shock,” Valerie says. “I never would’ve thought my mom would pass this way, my brother would pass this way. That’s why I want to know who did it.”
A woman and her son were shot dead late Wednesday night in a residential neighborhood in northeast Miami-Dade County, a double homicide that police had been particularly quiet about.
