Authorities in Minnesota arrested the wife of a Carrollton man on Monday in connection with two separate fatal shootings her husband committed earlier in May.

The wife of the Carrollton Koreatown shooting suspect was arrested Monday after police say she helped her husband commit the second homicide.

Ae Son Han, 67, was arrested in Minnesota, Carrollton Police said.

She was arrested in connection with two separate fatal May 5 shootings in the area, which police say were sparked by business disagreements. Seung Ho Han, 69, was accused of shooting five people in two locations.

After receiving reports of a shooting police responded to the 4000 block of State Highway 121, according to police. Officers found one man dead and three more injured.

An hour later police were alerted of a second shooting on Old Denton Road. Officers found another man shot dead.

After his arrest, police say Seung Ho Han told investigators the shooting stemmed from a failed business deal involving his sushi restaurant and property.

Ae Son Han is expected to be extradited back to Texas. Seung Ho Han remains in custody awaiting trial on capital murder charges.
