Police on Sunday evening tracked down a 33-year-old man wanted in connection with the deaths of a woman and her 18-month-old son whose bodies were found a day earlier in a home in Cloquet, Minn.
A request to law enforcement for a welfare check early Saturday afternoon at a home in the 1600 block of Locke Lane led officers to find the bodies of the 27-year-old woman and her son, police said.
Authorities have yet to say how the deaths occurred on the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation or disclosed a possible motive.
The victims' identities have yet to be released.
Police had been on the hunt for Sheldon J. Thompson, of Cloquet, and found him about 8:43 p.m. Sunday with the help of a Carlton County Sheriff's K-9 and a State Patrol helicopter.
Thompson was treated for temperature-related issues at a hospital and then booked into the Carlton County Jail on suspicion of second-degree homicide.
Thompson and the victims "had a relationship or otherwise knew each other," a statement from police read.
The public had been advised that Thompson was "armed and dangerous."
