Last night, D.C. Police arrested Daron Dylon Wint, the prime suspect in the quadruple murder of the Savopoulos family and their housekeeper.

Wint was arrested in the 1000 block of Rhode Island Avenue NE at approximately 11 p.m. last night, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. He’s being charged with first degree felony murder while armed.

Following the gruesome discovery of the bodies of Savvas Savopoulos, a businessman who ran American Iron Works, his wife, Amy, their 10-year-old son, Philip, and their housekeeper, 57-year-old Veralicia Figueroa, police gathered evidence to piece together what happened to the family. After matching DNA to pizza crust found at the crime scene, police identified 34-year-old Wint yesterday, initiating a manhunt to apprehend him.

Wint’s alleged murder wasn’t random, MPD Chief Cathy Lanier said during a press conference yesterday. According to the Post, Wint is a former employee of Savopoulos’s iron supply company and “has a long history of alleged assaults and threatening behavior.”

After Wint was identified as a suspect, police said they believe he had fled to Brooklyn, New York, where he has relatives and acquaintances. But, as the Post reports, he was located and identified in the D.C. area yesterday:

Federal marshals had been tracking Wint on Thursday night from College Park as he traveled in a white Chevrolet Cruze, a police official said. The suspect was traveling with two women, and one of them was driving. The Cruze was following a white box truck, which had two black males inside. At least one of the men was believed to be a relative of Wint’s, the official said.

Both vehicles were stopped by marshals near 10th Street and Rhode Island Avenue NE, the official said. Police found at least $10,000 in cash in the box truck, and the women in the Cruze and the men in the box truck were taken into custody, the source said.
