Suspect in wealthy D.C. family deaths believed to be in Brooklyn
WASHINGTON— Investigators believe a suspect in the mysterious slayings of a wealthy Washington family and their housekeeper is in the Brooklyn area of New York City, police said Thursday.
D.C. police Chief Cathy Lanier said at a news conference that her department is in touch with police in New York as they seek 34-year-old Daron Dylon Wint on charges of first-degree murder.
“The suspect is not in our custody, however we will assist the DC authorities in any way we can in the investigation to apprehend the individual,” a police spokesperson told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
When firefighters responded to the house for a fire May 14, they found the slain bodies still inside. Authorities believe the fire was intentionally set. Slain were 46-year-old Savvas Savopoulos; his 47-year-old wife, Amy; their son, Philip; and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa.
