Said was taken into custody "without incident" in Justin, Texas, on Wednesday, according to an FBI release. Initially in federal custody, he will be transferred to Dallas County, the release said.
The FBI said they also arrested two relatives of Said in Euless for harboring a fugitive and they believe there are others who helped him evade capture.
Said has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted fugitive list since 2014. FBI had placed a reward for tips and believed he may have still had ties to North Texas. The FBI said he frequented diners like Denny's and IHOP.
The FBI classified the shootings as "honor killings."
In the recorded 911 call, one of the girls is heard saying her father shot her.
Police believe Yaser Said was angry they were dating boys who were non-Muslim and killed them.
It was a high-profile case and there are still many details some are discovering more than a decade later.
"He followed them everywhere and he recorded their every move," said Ruth Trotter, a family friend, of home videos that show the father with his two teen daughters before their violent deaths.
In one of the videos, Yaser appears to be stalking his daughter Sarah at her work.
"She smiled at the customer," he says.
"Baba she has to do that. It’s part of her job," Amina replies to her father.
"She’s in trouble," he retorts.
Problems with their father went back years.
When they were younger, the girls told police he was sexually abusing them.
