Update: D.C. police have confirmed that suspect Daron Dylon Wint has been captured in Northeast Washington.
The suspect in the gruesome killings of three members of a Northwest Washington family and its housekeeper is a former employee of an iron supply company headed by one of the victims and has a long history of alleged assaults and threatening behavior, including against his own family, according to law enforcement officials and court records.
Police on Thursday were still searching for 34-year-old Daron Dylon Wint, a manhunt that extended north into New York City, where authorities said he has acquaintances and relatives in Brooklyn. Wint is charged in a warrant with first-degree murder while armed in the deaths of Savvas Savopoulos, 46; his wife, Amy, 47; their 10-year-old son, Philip; and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa, 57.
Police said they believe that the victims were held captive overnight and had been bound. D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) described the slayings at a Thursday afternoon news conference as “an act of evil.”
Hours later, Wint’s father, Dennis, reached by phone, declined to comment. “I really am not in the mood to talk to any reporters,” he said before hanging up.
