Both men were wanted on murder warrants in the July 30 killing of Moises Ortiz-Santiago at the intersection of Weldon and Quincy streets in Roxbury, police said. Pena-Guerrero is also being charged with unlawful possession of a firearm.
Pena-Guerrero is due to face the charges in Roxbury District Court. The warrant for Soto was out of the same court. It wasn't immediately clear if either man had an attorney who could speak to their arrests.
