A Dallas County man is behind bars, accused of committing two vicious slayings a month apart last year.
Police say he targeted homeless men, beating them to death with a sledgehammer in the dead of night.
Adelaido Amaya Esparza, 58, faces two counts of murder in the deaths of Fredrick Billmeier Jr. and Daniel Slusser. He was indicted in both cases in late December.
