AUGUSTA — State and Augusta police say they have located two people they were seeking in connection with a murder committed Monday night.

In a brief news release, Maine State Police Spokesman Steve McCausland said Zina Fritze and Sean McQuade were located Wednesday afternoon. They were staying in another apartment in the same neighborhood. Police had been seeking them for questioning and to check on their well-being.

Both were taken to the Augusta Police Department and later released.

The body of Joseph Marceau was found in the Washington Street apartment that Fritze and McQuade had been living in after neighbors reported hearing a disturbance on the fourth floor.

Damik Davis, 25, of Queens, New York, was arrested Monday night and charged on Wednesday with depraved indifference or intentional and knowing murder. He remains in the Kennebec County Jail.

McCausland said the investigation will continue through the holiday weekend.
