A homeless man was found slain on the porch of this vacant house in Baton Rogue on December 27, two weeks after two other homeless people were found shot to death in the city, police say.

(CNN)A man has been arrested in connection with the slayings of three homeless people found dead last month in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, officials said Thursday.

Police arrested 29-year-old Jeremy Anderson, Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome said at a Thursday news conference. Anderson was arrested Wednesday evening, according to a police department news release.

He has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder, said Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul. He is currently in custody at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

CNN has reached out to authorities to find out if Anderson has legal representation.

All three victims were shot to death near downtown Baton Rouge in December, authorities said.

I think of the lot of fear inspired now is from people who know they too could become homeless. Sometimes it does not take much.
