Hoyle was arraigned Monday in Mentor Municipal Court. He is currently being held at Lake County Jail.

On Nov. 5, gunshots were heard near Puritan Drive at 5:30 a.m., a city official previously told Patch. When police arrived they found George and Brooks in a condo. They had both been shot in their "lower extremities," police said at the time.

Hoyle was taken into custody that same day by police and the U.S. Marshals, a city official said.
