Suzito Lopes, 43, of Quincy, was arrested at a home in Brockton Monday night and Antonio Lopes, 37, of Taunton, turned himself into Abington police Tuesday morning, the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office announced Tuesday. The two brothers will face charges in connection with the death of 43-year-old Anthony Leverone.

Leverone was pronounced dead at the scene and Abington police and Massachusetts State Police detectives began a homicide investigation.
Investigators later obtained an arrest warrant for the two brothers after probable cause was developed.
Both men will be arraigned in Brockton District Court on Tuesday.
