BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- Two men have been arrested in connection to the murder of an 83-year-old man, according to City police.

Officers responded to the 400 block of Cambria Street Friday where they found 83-year-old James Herget dead inside his home.

Police arrested and charged 46-year-old Derrick Carter and 24-year-old Steven Stawara with murder.
