When firefighters arrived that afternoon, the cash was gone, as was a blue Porsche owned by the family. The vehicle was found later that day, torched in a church parking lot in Prince George’s County.There were 4 murder victims.
UPDATE: Wint is arrested.
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, one of whom was driving. The Cruze was following a white box truck, which had two men 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.

That is amazing that they were able to pick up DNA just from the fact that he had eaten that pizza. Hopefully they nab this guy pronto.
How did they have his DNA in the first place? Do the police take DNA samples from everyone they arrest? I don't really see a legal issue with it--they take fingerprints after all--and it would certainly help build a suspect database.
A case that speaks for the death penalty...
It is even more amazing that no video exists of the culprit in the vicinity or even from local security cams.
Yet.
I wish they could have found some way to put more alarming information into their texts and voicemails.
Daron is a promising young man who stopped for pizza on his way to his grandmother's house and then to take the SAT.
Maryland's criminal DNA database includes collection for arrests for burglary, considered a crime of violence in most places. Supposedly, the suspect has a past for both burglary and assault.
The police may have much more evidence than what they are talking about publicly, including videos from houses all over the neighborhood.
The discovery that humans leave DNA everywhere from the most casual of of contact, and the ability of science to recover and identify the same is a double edged sword. For instance, many of the so-called "exonerations" we read about have come from inadvertant contaminations of evidence in decades-old crimes, when evidence handling ws less than pristine. And even now, such contamination is always possible from days or weeks before a crime occurred, so that the better we get at recovering and identifying DNA, the harder it can become to actually use the DNA as a crime solver.
This intelligent man used the death penalty freely upon innocent people BECAUSE he knew the State's penalty for first degree murder is no more than its penalty for the crime he is committing; And without DNA trace on a crust, he knew he would get away with it by systematically executing the human witnesses.
This is true among criminals trained in Smart Crime 101 in jails all over the USA. The pious claim that the horrific death penalty does not deter murderers is a bold faced lie the hyper moralizers are not called on using as if it is so.
The lack of a death penalty has normalized murder as standard smart business practice.

He is also known to be very supportive of the politics of income inequality and wealth redistribution.
This story in a UK news article has a video of a man in a hoodie who is believed involved. This video was up yesterday, when I first saw it.
Hopefully they didn't get the FBIs assistance with the DNA "analysis"

You forgot "aspiring rapper"!
He should have ordered Pizza Hut three cheese stuffed crust pizza. Nothing left on plate.
One of my best friends lives a half block east of this house. The area is a wealthy, long established neighborhood right off of Connecticut Ave.
Need less to say, the residents are very upset. I've heard at least one reconsider his opposition to the death penalty.
He could have been Obama's son.
Too bad nobody in DC can get a firearms permit. The odds are never good but (a) there is a chance that Savopoulos with a Mossberg might have persuaded the assailant to depart and (b) the possibility that Savopoulos might be there with a Mossberg might have persauded the would-be assailant not to bother trying.
I use Mossberg in a generic sense. Any pump 12 gauge would do as well.
Four non-black were murdered, black men caught.
Liberals: racist police targeted blacks.
I think your Wint is arrested link is wrong.
