WINONA, Minn. (AP) -- Two fugitives wanted for killing three people in Florida have been arrested in a Minnesota state park.

Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand says the two men offered no resistance when SWAT team officers moved in on them about 1:40 a.m. Thursday at Whitewater State Park. Brand says the two were asleep in a camper.

The sheriff says the men are wanted in the fatal shootings of 57-year-old Joseph Militello Jr., his 68-year-old wife, Nancy Militello, and their 32-year-old nephew, Angelo Rosales, at their Suwannee County home Aug. 26. Investigators believe robbery could be the motive for the homicides.

Brand says the Suwannee County sheriff received information the fugitives were in Winona County and deputies located the suspects' vehicle in the park. The sheriff says the camper was owned by a woman who was also asleep inside. She was questioned and released.
