A man suspected of killing an alleged drug dealer and his wife in front of their child in New York City has been arrested after decades on the run, federal authorities have announced.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) revealed details about the case in a statement provided to Border Hawk.
William Antonio Solis and two accomplices conspired to rob and kill Luis Guerrero and his wife, Danis Sime, on June 21, 1993, according to an indictment brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
The co-conspirators met Guerrero at an apartment in the Bronx where they restrained him and stole his narcotics.
Simes was then lured to the residence where she was also bound before Solis shot them both in the head “execution style” in the presence of their three-year-old daughter, the indictment alleges.
On April 22, Solis was taken into custody by HSI agents and local law enforcement in Tampa, Florida.
“As alleged, William Solis spent decades hiding in plain sight more than a thousand miles from where he viciously murdered the Guerreros in front of their young child,” said HSI New York acting Special Agent in Charge Michael Alfonso.
“This arrest is the result of years of meticulous investigative work by dedicated special agents and task force officers who refused to let this case go cold. Regardless of the time that has passed or the distance traveled, HSI New York, together with the Southern District of New York and the NYPD, will stop at nothing to ensure those responsible for senseless violence face justice on behalf of New Yorkers.”
Solis was charged with intentional killing while engaged in a narcotics conspiracy and faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison or death if convicted.
“For more than 30 years, this Bronx double murder has haunted a family and the people of New York,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.
“That ends today. This Office always will pursue perpetrators of violence, and time is no bar to our investigation and prosecution of these horrific crimes. We will always pursue justice for victims in New York and elsewhere.”

I missed the part about how they found the dude.”
They got a call from a British sounding lady who said she worked for someone called “The Accountant”and gave them their location.
Toddler will respond for jury duty and never get picked.
Something is wrong with the jury-selection process.
