The alleged killers — Tyron Kincade, 19, and his 18-year-old brother, Tyshaune — were captured on Friday after cops tracked them down using phone records, which connected them to at least four similar attacks.

They were each ordered held without bail after they were arraigned on murder and robbery charges Monday, the Marion County prosecutor’s office said.

It was not immediately clear if the brothers had legal representation.

Vester, a married father of a 1-year-old son, had just gotten a job as a military mechanic . . .

He knew that he was driving to a crime-ridden section of the city, but he tried to take all necessary precautions, a friend told the newspaper.

“That’s why he went in the middle of the afternoon,” the friend, Sarah Hill, said. “He was being careful.”
