Authorities have named a suspect in last week’s quadruple killings of a wealthy Washington D.C. family and their housekeeper.
CNN noted that an arrest warrant has been issued for 34-year-old Daron Dylon Wint in the murders of executive Savvas Savopoulos, his wife Amy, their 10-year-old son Philip and housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa.
On May 14, firefighters responded to a fire at the Savopoulos family mansion and found the body of the four victims. They were all killed before the house was set ablaze and were either stabbed or bludgeoned to death. Officials said the family and Figueroa were likely held against their will before they were murdered.
The Chicago Tribune reported that law enforcement sources said they were able to identify and link Wint to the scene by DNA on pizza crust ordered to the home on May 13.
Investigators did not reveal if Wint knew the family or their housekeeper prior to the slayings, but said money could have been the motive.
On Thursday, police announced that they believe the suspect may be in Brooklyn, where he was recently spotted. D.C. police are now working with New York officers to try and locate him.
Savvas Savopoulos was the CEO of American Iron Works and a martial arts instructor. The family’s residence is located in an upscale D.C. neighborhood. The same neighborhood as Vice President Joe Biden.
