D.C. murder suspect Daron Wint threatened own family, documents show

The father of Daron Wint, the man suspected of killing a Northwest D.C. couple, their young son, and their housekeeper, had been so frightened by threats his son made to shoot his own family that he sought a protective order barring the man from contacting them for a year.

Maryland court records show that over the last decade Mr. Wint has been the subject of numerous peace and protective orders.

One taken out by his own father in 2005 describes how the then 21-year-old Mr. Wint stood outside of his father’s Lanham home and threatened to shoot his father and step-mother. Police were called to the scene, but Mr. Wint came back afterward.

“He stood in the street in front of the house and continued to threaten me and my wife,” wrote Mr. Wint’s father in a handwritten application for a protective order filed in Prince George’s County District Court. “Threats were to be on the lookout for him, I should have made the officer pat him and they would have found what he had under his clothing for me.”

D.C. police have named Mr. Wint as a suspect in the gruesome killings of Savvas Savopoulos; his wife, Amy; their 10-year-old son, Philip; and their housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa.

First responders found their bodies May 14 inside the Savopouloses’ multi-million-dollar Woodley Park home after responding to extinguish a fire there. The family is believed to have been held captive in the home the night before, and media reports indicate that $40,000 in cash was delivered to the home shortly before the fire broke out the afternoon of May 14.

In a press conference Thursday, Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said Mr. Wint at one point had worked for Mr. Savopoulos at his business, American Iron Works, which based in Hyattsville.

They used to have criminal background check at my old work place. If I have any record, I doubted I would be offered the job.

(Note I am not pointing fingers at the victims here) Is this some misguided notion to re-integrate criminals back into society?

He can lay low for a while with $40K in cash. He probably got jewelry and other things too.

Nancy Grace just reported that the suspect Wint has a green card, is from Guyana. However, all the other reports seemed to indicated he is originally from Maryland.

I am concerned he is laying low at a house with hostages.

Obama is responsible for whipping up a frenzy of hatred toward Whites and wealthy people, causing unstable Blacks such as Wint to attack this family. Whenever there is a mass shooting, Democrats blame gun owners, so what’s fair for the goose...

If he does not get the death penalty, he will get “prison justice” because of his murdering of the child in the family.

No kidding.

It was reported that he came to this country in 2000 and enlisted in the Marines (which he soon left). And he committed serious crimes, including threatening to kill an infant.

There should be more screening of those who are admitted to this country. Those who break laws, pose a security threat, or demand welfare should be deported. The Somalis brought into this country are definitely not improving our quality of life.

Perhaps his father did not do his duty. It is also possible, however, that he did. Sometimes a family produces decent children and one bad apple. I have seen it.

I rejected that out of hand simply because I don’t care anymore. I don’t have time to take these scumbags on an individual basis any longer. I expect certain typical behavior from typical criminals and have had more than my fill. I no longer consider their kin I innocent.
