 The man suspected of brutally killing a family of three and their housekeeper in a northwest Washington, D.C., mansion last week was arrested late Thursday night in a traffic stop across town, capping a manhunt that had expanded to New York. 
 
 Daron Dylon Wint, 34, who had once worked for the company run by one of the victims, is scheduled to make his first court appearance Friday afternoon. 
 
 In a statement released through a spokesperson Friday, the Savopoulos family thanked the law enforcement agencies involved in Wint's arrest. 
 
 "While it does not abate our pain, we hope that it begins to restore a sense of calm and security to our neighborhood and to our city," the statement read in part. 
 
 Police Question Slaying Suspect's Girlfriend for Hours

 Wint showed little emotion when he was captured, Robert Fernandez, commander of the U.S. Marshal Service's Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force told The Associated Press on Friday. 
 
 "He was stoic," Fernandez said. 
 
 Investigators had tracked Wint to the Brooklyn area of New York City, where they barely missed him Wednesday night, Fernandez said. Sources tell NBC New York that Wint paid someone in cash, likely the money he allegedly stole from the murdered family, to drive him from New York back to Maryland 
 
 "We believe he saw himself on the news and just took off," Fernandez said. Investigators then tracked Wint to a Howard Johnson Express Inn in College Park, Maryland, on Thursday night, he said. 
 
 A team realized Wint was probably in one of two vehicles in the motel parking lot: a car or a moving truck. The vehicles left together and the team followed as they took a U-turn and a strange route.

 "We thought they were either trying to throw off a trail or see if anyone was following them," Fernandez said. 
 
 Fernandez says at one point, the team had about 20 undercover vehicles following Wint. His team then had to figure out how to stop both vehicles at once. 
 
 "Stopping two vehicles at once with a pinning maneuver is difficult. We had never done it with two vehicles, and we had never done it with a box truck," Fernandez explained. 
 
 Officers eventually got between the two vehicles in 1000 block of Rhode Island Avenue NE at about 11 p.m. and took Wint into custody, along with several men and women, Fernandez said. The men and woman taken into custody along with Wint have not been formally charged or arrested. 
 
 "We had overwhelming numbers and force," Fernandez said. "They completely submitted immediately." 
 
 Fernandez said he noticed a big wad of cash in the moving truck, but he didn't know how much was there. NBC News has confirmed that at least $10,000 was found in the moving truck.

 It was not clear whether that money might have been connected to the Savopoulos family. Fernandez said he did not know whether any weapons were found as the group was taken into custody. 
 
 Wint is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the deaths of Savvas Savopoulos, 46; his wife, Amy Savopoulos, 47; their son, Philip; and housekeeper Veralicia "Vera" Figueroa, 57. 
 
 Their bodies were found in the Savopoulos family's burning mansion early in the afternoon of May 14. 
 
 Authorities had searched several locations in Maryland for Wint on Wednesday night and Thursday. Law enforcement sources said Thursday afternoon they believed Wint took a bus to New York City and arrived in Brooklyn in the previous 24 hours, before returning to the D.C. area. 
 
 A law enforcement official told NBC 4 New York's Jonathan Dienst that they tracked Wint to Brooklyn in part through his phone, which his girlfriend had when they interviewed her Thursday. 
 
 Wint's girlfriend, a Brooklyn resident, talked to NYPD officers at the 69th Precinct in Brooklyn for hours after being picked up at her apartment Thursday. She told police Wint was going back to D.C., possibly to surrender. She is not under arrest, NBC 4 New York reports.

 Police believe the victims were kept bound and threatened overnight the night before they were killed. 
 
 Sometime that night, someone called Domino's from their house and ordered pizza. Sources say Wint's DNA was found on a pizza crust. 
 
 The next morning, someone delivered $40,000 in cash to the multimillion-dollar house. The cash was withdrawn from an account at American Iron Works, where Savvas Savopoulos served as CEO. 
 
 Sometime after the cash arrived, the home was set on fire, leading to the discovery of the bodies. 
 
 Three of the victims had been beaten and stabbed to death, and some of the bodies smelled of gasoline, police said. 
 
 Philip's body was so badly burned that investigators aren't sure if he was injured before the fire was set, and he still hasn't been officially identified, sources close to the investigation said.

 His body was found in his room; three other bodies were found on the floor in another bedroom. 
 
 Later on the afternoon of May 14, the family's Porsche was found burning in a church parking lot in suburban Maryland. Police had circulated the grainy image of a person leaving the scene of the car fire, wearing black clothing. 
 
 Police said Thursday that they haven't ruled out the possibility that other people were involved in the slayings, but no other suspects have been identified. 
 
 Who is Daron Dylon Wint? 
 
 From 2003 to 2005, Wint worked as a welder at American Iron Works, where victim Savvas Savopoulos served as CEO, sources said. One of Wint's relatives was also fired from the company. 
 
 An American Iron Works welder -- who said he lost a great friend in Savopoulos -- told News4 that Wint couldn't get along with any of his coworkers when he worked there.

 no description (Published Thursday, May 21, 2015) 
 
 Attorney Robin Ficker, who has represented Wint in the past, told News4 he doesn't believe Wint did it. 
 
 "He is a gentle guy. He was a student at Prince George's Community College. He wouldn't hurt a fly," Ficker said. "He's the kind of guy that you wouldn't mind your grandmother going to lunch with." 
 
 At least one police record lists a home address that is less than a half-mile from where the Porsche was found burning. 
 
 Message From the Housekeeper 
 
 Savopoulos and his wife, Amy, were well known in the neighborhood, often hosting parties for neighbors and friends, according to The Washington Post; the family attended St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral in the neighborhood. 
 
 Philip was a fourth-grader at St. Albans, the private school near St. Sophia and the National Cathedral; two daughters were away at private boarding schools. 
 
 Deliveries to Mansion Could Be Key in Investigation

 Neighbors who have been in the home said the family had an extensive and valuable art collection, which was on display a couple of years ago during the Christmas house tour put on by St. Albans. 
 
 The timeline of events that investigators are working from seems to match information from a longtime housekeeper for the Savopoulos family, who said she was a good friend of Veralicia Figueroa. 
 
 Nelly, who didn't want her full name used for security reasons, owns her own cleaning company and worked for the family for more than two decades. Nelly allowed Figueroa to work with her at the Savopoulos family's home. 
 
 On May 13, Figueroa texted Nelly to say she wanted to work at the home, and planned to finish by 3 p.m., Nelly told News4. 
 
 That evening, Nelly missed a call from Savvas Savopoulos, saying Figueroa was spending the night at the family's home. She heard the call on voice mail the next morning. 
 
 An Eerie Encounter 
 
 Suspect Named in Woodley Park Slayings

 Nelly said Figueroa's husband went to the home the morning of May 14 to look for her and had an eerie encounter. No one answered the door when he knocked on it, but he told Nelly he had the feeling someone was standing just inside the closed door. 
 
 He went around the back of the house to knock again. As he did, Nelly said, Savopoulos called his cell phone. Savopoulos said Figueroa was OK and had spent the night, according to Nelly. 
 
 The fire at the home was reported about four hours later.

 Nelly said Figueroa was hard-working and loved life. She'd come to the United States from El Salvador to earn money before planning to retire next year. 
 
 A GoFundMe page has been created to help with her funeral costs. 
 
 Throughout the week, federal agents and D.C. police have continued to gather evidence at the Woodley Park home. Meanwhile, in New Carrollton, authorities used a bloodhound to try to track down the person who torched a 2008 blue Porsche 911 stolen from the home on the day of the fire. 
 
 The Porsche was found burning in the parking lot of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church. At a banquet hall nearby, surveillance video of a person of interest in the case was captured on a security camera. 
 
 Police say Wint is the person of interest seen in the video. While he is difficult to see, police say Wint was dressed in dark clothing, including a hoodie with the hood pulled up. 
 
 Meanwhile, neighbors and friends are mourning the family -- and left dreading the idea of what they endured in the hours they may have been held captive in their own home.

 "This was a beautiful family, a wonderful family with children," said Coco Palomeque, a friend of Amy's. She described Amy as "beautiful, vibrant, full of life and full of energy -- ready to jump into any project to help others, to help her community." 
 
 "The community where they lived really loves them, and we are here to support them if they need us," she said.

 WASHINGTON (AP) — An ex-convict accused in the slayings of a wealthy Washington family and their housekeeper was arrested Thursday, a week after authorities said the family was killed and their mansion was set on fire.

 Daron Dylon Wint, 34, was arrested in northeast Washington around 11 p.m. Thursday by members of a fugitive task force and charged with first-degree murder while armed, D.C. police and the U.S. Marshals Service said. Investigators had previously been seeking him in New York City. 
 
 Police have not detailed why Wint would want to kill 46-year-old Savvas Savopoulos; his 47-year-old wife, Amy; their son, Philip; and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa. Three of the four victims had been stabbed or bludgeoned before the fire. 
 
 Police said Thursday that Wint, a certified welder, worked for Savopoulos' company, American Iron Works, in the past. Savopoulos was the CEO of American Iron Works, a construction-materials supplier based in Hyattsville, Maryland, that has been involved in major projects in downtown Washington. 
 
 Police said Thursday that they haven't ruled out the possibility that other people were involved in the slayings, but no other suspects have been identified. 
 
 Wint was born and raised in Guyana and moved to the United States in 2000, when he was almost 20 years old, according to court records filed in Maryland. He joined the Marine Corps that same year and was discharged for medical reasons, the records show. Following his discharge, he worked as a certified welder, the records show. 
 
 The Savopouloses lived in a $4.5 million home in Woodley Park, a neighborhood where mansions are protected by fences and elaborate security systems and local and federal law enforcement officers are a constant presence, in part because Vice President Joe Biden's official residence is nearby. 
 
 Text messages and voicemails from the Savopouloses to their confused and frightened household staff suggest something was amiss in the house many hours before the bodies were found. Their blue Porsche turned up in suburban Maryland hours after the slayings. It too had been set on fire. 
 
 DNA analysis at a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms lab linked Wint to the crime, a law enforcement official involved in the investigation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity for lack of authorization to discuss the investigation publicly. 
 
 During the family's final hours, someone called Domino's from their house and ordered pizza. The Washington Post reported that the DNA was found on a pizza crust. At a Domino's about 2 miles away, a worker told the AP that a pizza was delivered from there to the mansion that day. 
 
 Wint was convicted of assaulting one girlfriend in Maryland in 2009, and he pleaded guilty the next year to malicious destruction of property after he allegedly threatened to kill a woman and her infant daughter, breaking into her apartment, stealing a television and vandalizing her car. 
 
 "I'm going to come over there and kill you, your daughter and friends," Wint told that woman, according to the records. "The defendant advised he was good with a knife and could kill them easily and was not afraid of the police," a detective wrote. 
 
 Also in 2010, Wint was arrested carrying a 2-foot-long machete and a BB pistol outside the American Iron Works headquarters, but weapons charges were dropped after he pleaded guilty to possessing an open container of alcohol. 
 
 Attorney Robin Ficker said Wint didn't seem violent when he defended him in earlier cases. 
 
 "My impression of him — I remember him rather well — is that he wouldn't hurt a fly. He's a very nice person," Ficker said. 
 
 A housekeeper who worked for the Savopoulos family for 20 years, Nelitza Gutierrez, told the AP that she believes the family and Figureroa were held captive for nearly a day before they were killed, citing an unusual voice mail she got from Savopoulos and a text message sent from the phone of his wife, telling her not to come to the house. 
 
 Gutierrez said she and Savopoulos spent May 13 cleaning up a martial arts studio he was opening in northern Virginia before his wife called around 5:30 p.m. She could hear his half of the conversation. He later said his wife told him to come home to watch their son because she was going out, Gutierrez said. 
 
 Later that night, sounding flustered, he left Gutierrez a voice mail saying Figueroa would stay with his sick wife overnight, that she shouldn't come the next day, and that Figueroa's phone was dead. 
 
 "It doesn't make any sense. How come you don't have another phone — iPhones are all over," Gutierrez said. "He was kind of building stories." 
 
 The next morning, Gutierrez received a text message from Amy Savopoulos that read, in part, "I am making sure you are not coming today." She called and texted back and got no response. 
 
 The Savopouloses had two teenage daughters who were away at boarding school at the time of the slayings. Relatives of the victims have made few public statements and have not returned calls from the AP. Representatives of American Iron Works have repeatedly declined to comment.

 A Maryland man wanted in the murders of a wealthy D.C. family and their housekeeper has been taken into custody in Northeast D.C., authorities say. 
 
 Daron Dylon Wint was arrested Thursday at around 11 p.m. in the 1000 block of Rhode Island Avenue, D.C. police say. 
 
 
 
 UPDATE: Court documents released Friday provide new details, including that investigators believe Wint and "others" were involved in the murders. Click here to read the newest information in the case. 
 
 
 
 Wint was sought on a charge of first-degree murder while armed in connection to the deaths of 46-year-old Savvas Savopoulos, his wife, 47-year-old Amy Savopoulos, their 10-year-old son Philip, and their 57-year-old housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa. The four were found dead inside the family's burning home one week ago. 
 
 Commander Rob Fernandez of the U.S. Marshals Service said members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force located Wint at a Howard Johnson hotel parking lot on Route 1 in College Park, Maryland. 
 
 Wint was a passenger in a white Chevy Cruze vehicle that left the hotel parking lot following a box truck. Authorities tailed the vehicles to Rhode Island Avenue in Northeast D.C. where they were able to block in the vehicles. Multiple people were taken into custody along with Wint. 
 
 A federal source tells FOX 5's Paul Wagner that Wint's brother was part of the group that was apprehended and he was in the box truck where a large amount of cash was found. 
 
 The search for Wint spanned as far as New York as a joint fugitive task force that included U.S. Marshals and the New York City Police Department were all assisting in trying to locate him. During the search, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said in a Thursday afternoon news conference that Wint may have been in the Brooklyn area. 
 
 Fernandez said Thursday night after Wint's arrest that investigators had tracked Wint to New York City on Wednesday night, but they "barely missed him." 
 
 Family statement 
 
 Following the arrest, a statement was issued from the Savopoulos Family: 
 
 "We are thankful to law enforcement who have worked so diligently to bring about an arrest in this case. While it does not abate our pain, we hope that it begins to restore a sense of calm and security to our neighborhood and to our city. We are blessed to live in a community comprised of close circles of friends who have supported us and grieve with us. We are grateful, as well, to the men and women of the fire department for their professionalism and caring.Our family, and Vera's family, have suffered unimaginable loss, and we ask for the time and space to grieve privately." 
 
 Lanier: Police believe Wint has connection to Savopoulos family business 
 
 Chief Lanier said it is believed there is a direct connection between Wint and the Savopoulos family. Lanier said investigators believe Wint may have worked for Savvas Savopoulos at some point at his business, American Iron Works. She did not give any other specific details about the relationship, other than to say that for those who live in the neighborhood, it does not appear to be a random crime. 
 
 A source familiar with the employment records at American Iron Works, Wint worked for the company at least ten years ago as a laborer. 
 
 Lanier also revealed that investigators do believe Wint is the person of interest seen in surveillance video released by police last weekend. Police said that person of interest may have been driving a blue 2008 Porsche 911 that belonged to the Savopoulos family. The car was seen at the home at 10:30 a.m. on May 14 before the fire, and it was found later that night, after it had been set on fire and abandoned in the 8000 block of Annapolis Road in New Carrollton, Md. The person of interest, whom Lanier now says is Wint, was seen running in the area carrying an object in the right hand. 
 
 Chief Lanier declined to comment on any specific evidence related to the case at this time. She did say that said investigators have not ruled out that there could be others involved in the case. 
 
 Wint seen outside his home after murder 
 
 Late Wednesday night, police from D.C. and Prince George's County were seen outside a Lanham, Maryland, home where it is believed Wint lives with his father. Two people came out of the home Thursday morning and went into a D.C. police investigator's car, FOX 5's Annie Yu reported. 
 
 A neighbor told FOX 5 that he saw Wint shortly after the homicide. The neighbor said Wint, who he described as quiet, was "hanging out" on the front porch. 
 
 According to court records, Wint has an extensive criminal history ranging from traffic violations, domestic violence, burglary and assault. 
 
 DNA on pizza crust leads police to suspect 
 
 FOX 5 has learned that a Domino's pizza delivery was made just before midnight at the Savopoulos' house on May 13, the night before the victims were found dead. The delivery man says he left two pizzas at the front door and there was an envelope with cash left outside. 
 
 The break in the case occurred after police matched Wint to DNA on the crust of a pizza found in the home, according to law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation. 
 
 $40,000 delivered to family's home 
 
 Earlier on Wednesday, FOX 5's Paul Wagner reported a large amount of money was scheduled to be delivered at the Savopoulos' D.C. home last week. 
 
 According to Nelitza Gutierrez, a housekeeper working for the Savopoulos family, $40,000 in cash was to be delivered to the house on Woodland Drive on May 14, the day the bodies were found after a fire. 
 
 In an off-camera interview, Gutierrez says an assistant was scheduled to drop off the cash to be used for the opening of a martial arts center in Chantilly, Virginia. The housekeeper says she spoke with the person who was supposed to make the delivery and he confirmed he dropped it off at the house that morning. 
 
 Gutierrez is the same housekeeper who received a text message on the morning of May 14 telling her not to come to the Savopoulos' home because the family was sick. 
 
 Sources detail how victims were found 
 
 According to Wagner, sources familiar with the crime scene say that three of the adult victims were all found dead in chairs and were doused with gasoline. 
 
 The Savopoulos' 10-year-old son, Philip, was found in bed, burned beyond recognition and with lacerations to his body. 
 
 Firefighters responded to the home on May 14 at around 1:30 p.m. Once inside, crews found the bodies of the four victims. 
 
 Based on the timeline established by Gutierrez and the husband of Figueroa, investigators believe the victims were held against their will from Wednesday night to Thursday morning last week, and Savvas Savopoulos was alive Thursday morning and called the housekeeper's husband after he knocked on the front door of the house looking for her. Savvas told the man that his wife and Amy were at the hospital and then hung up the phone.

 Police apprehended late Thursday night the suspect in the gruesome killings of three members of a Northwest Washington family and a housekeeper, D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said. 
 
 “Just got him,” Lanier said shortly before 11:30 p.m., speaking of Daron Dylon Wint, 34, who was apprehended in Northeast Washington. 
 
 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.

 The manhunt for Wint had extended to New York City, where authorities said he has relatives and acquaintances 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. 
 
 Wint 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, according to law enforcement and court records. Police said they believe that the victims were held captive overnight and had been bound. At a Thursday afternoon news conference, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser described the slayings 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. 
 
 [How a Domnio’s pizza crust led police to Wint] 
 
 For the first time, Lanier told residents that the suspect in the homicides that have riveted the Northwest neighborhood had targeted his victims. Wint had worked for American Iron Works, a large distributor of iron and steel based in Hyattsville and run by Savvas Savopoulos, who along with his family was active in Washington-area society, business and fundraising circles. Lanier would not say when Wint worked there. A court record describes him as a certified welder. 
 
 “For residents of the District who are rightfully scared and want answers as to why and how this family may have been involved, we want to give you as many answers as we can,” Lanier said at a news conference Thursday. “What we can tell you right now is that we do believe there is a connection between the suspect in this case through the business. So right now, it does not appear that this was a random crime.”

 Records filed in Prince George’s County District Court illustrate some of Wint’s long-standing brushes with the law. In the mid-2000s, four people — including his father and a housemate — petitioned for restraining orders, the records show. Not all requests were granted, but a judge did order Wint to stay away from his father for a year. 
 
 In November 2005, Dennis Wint wrote in a sworn statement that his son had threatened violence. Police ordered the younger Wint to leave, but he stayed nearby, his father said, and “stood in the street in front of the house and continued to threaten me and my wife. I also have an 8-year-old child who was terrified.” 
 
 A year later, a housemate accused Wint of punching him during a dispute over loud music. Another time, during an argument with a person over a car that was parked on private property and had no tags, a woman said in court documents that “Mr. Wint became very violent and said he will drop us one by one.” Wint was ordered to stay away from the woman and her family members for six months. 
 
 Maryland defense attorney Robin Ficker, who represented Wint in about six minor criminal and traffic cases, all about 10 years ago, said he does not believe that his former client is capable of the crimes of which he is accused. “He’s not a match for this type of activity at all,” said Ficker, who hasn’t seen Wint in more than 10 years. “He’s the last one I would suspect with anything like this.” 
 
 Devera Zianal, who lives on the same street as Wint’s parents in Lanham, said she would occasionally see Wint sitting on the porch steps but that it didn’t appear he lived there full time. She said Wint’s father and his wife, Pamela, moved in about a decade ago. Wednesday night, police searched the split-level house. 
 
 Social media and other listings show that Dennis Wint works as an engineer or plumber and that his wife is a nurse at a senior home. “These parents did everything right,” said Zianal, who added that she saw Wint in the area as recently as last week. “They’re hardworking people, and this is a good neighborhood.” 
 
 Officials at American Iron Works declined to comment about Daron Wint’s employment. A housekeeper who had been with the family 20 years said she had never heard of Wint. Lanier, during her afternoon news conference, would not rule out other suspects but declined to elaborate. 
 
 Police said they are still unsure of a motive behind last week’s killings. Authorities said they believe that the victims were taken captive May 13 and killed the next day before their multimillion-dollar home was set ablaze. On the morning of May 14, Savvas Savopoulos’s assistant dropped a package off at the house with $40,000. 
 
 Police records also show a series of phone calls involving Savopoulos, his assistant, a bank and an accountant in the hours before the fire. A longtime housekeeper has said she received texts and voice mails from Savopolous and his wife telling her not to come to the house May 14. 
 
 Police have not described the scene inside the large brick house on Woodland Drive Northwest, near the vice president’s mansion but have said that three of the victims suffered trauma and stab wounds. Police believe that they were bound at some point. After the bodies were discovered about 1:15 p.m. May 14, police found the family’s blue Porsche torched in a church parking lot in Prince George’s two miles from the home of the suspect’s parents. Police had earlier released a video showing a blurred image of a man running away and now say they believe that the person was Wint. 
 
 Authorities said they linked Wint to the house through DNA recovered from a discarded crust from a Domino’s pizza that was delivered to the house the night of May 13, while the family was being held. 
 
 It came from a store on Wisconsin Avenue in Tenleytown. Regional Director Nico Casillas said his driver noticed nothing unusual during the transaction. 
 
 Records filed in Prince George’s County Circuit Court show that Wint grew up in Guyana, where he attended high school. He moved to the United States in 2000 and in July 2001 began basic training with the U.S. Marines at Parris Island, S.C. A spokeswoman for the Marines said he separated in September of that year and did not complete his training. 
 
 The court records also show that in 2010, while threatening a woman he had been out at a nightclub with earlier that morning, Wint bragged that he was “good with a knife” and not afraid of police. Another acquaintance, Jacinta Council, recalled Wint as a “drinking buddy” and said she accused him in 2009 of assault and a sex offense, saying he punched and groped her in a Greenbelt bar where she worked as a server. Council did not pursue the case, and the charges were dropped. 
 
 She said that apart from that incident with Wint, she “had not seen a side like that to him. I don’t try to put myself with people who are crazy, and except for that night, he never seemed crazy.” 
 
 Court records show that in 2010, Wint was charged after police found him sitting behind the dumpster of a gas station near American Iron Works with a two-foot-long machete in his backpack and a pellet gun. He pleaded guilty only to holding an open container of beer, and he spent one day in jail. 
 
 Wint also was arrested in 2006 in Oswego, N.Y., near Syracuse, and charged with stabbing a man, according to the Syracuse Post-Standard. David Bookstaver, a spokesman for the New York State court system, said that Wint had been arrested at least three times in the late 2000s on assault charges and been convicted in some cases. 
 
 Keith L. Alexander, Moriah Balingit, Paul Duggan, Mary Pat Flaherty, Dana Hedgpeth, Arelis Hernández, Jennifer Jenkins, Justin Jouvenal, Antonio Olivo and Donna St. George contributed to this report. 

 The first family terrorized by multiple murder suspect Daron Wint was his own, according to Maryland court records. 
 
 Wint, who was arrested in Washington D.C. Thursday night after amanhunt for the killings of a Washington couple, their son and their housekeeper, threatened to shoot his father and stepmother 10 years ago, The Washington Times reported Thursday.

 Court records reviewed by the newspaper described Wint’s father, Dennis Wint, detailing how the alleged killer threatened to shoot him and his wife — even after cops were called the scene in Lanham, Md. 
 
 “He stood in the street in front of the house and continued to threaten me and my wife,” the elder Wint wrote in a 2005 application for an order of protection. 
 
 “I should have made the officer pat him and they would have found what he had under his clothing for me.” 
 
 SUSPECTED QUADRUPLE MURDERER DARON DYLON WINT CAUGHT IN D.C. 
 
 The senior Wint sought to bar his son from the family home, and to keep him away from the elementary school and day care attended by Daron’s 8-year-old sister, the Times reported. 
 
 The father stood early Thursday in the doorway of his suburban home but refused to come outside as the search for his troubled son was ongoing.

 Washington (CNN) The man charged with the killing of three members of a prominent Washington, D.C. family and their housekeeper did not act alone, prosecutors said they believe. 
 
 Earlier reports identified the suspect as Daron Dylon Wint, but newly obtained court documents show that this was just one of several aliases that he apparently used; his legal name is Darron Dellon Dennis Wint. 
 
 Prosecutors alleged that Wint did not pull off the slayings and arson on his own. 
 
 The crime "required the presence and assistance of more than one person," according to the criminal complaint. 
 
 Court documents reveal that the incident began sometime after 6 p.m. on May 13, and continued through the afternoon of the next day. The fire at the mansion was reported at 1:24 p.m. on May 14, but the victims had been held against their will since the previous day. 
 
 Wint's attorney questioned the evidence, but the judge went forward with the charges and ordered Wint to remain imprisoned without bond. 
 
 As of Friday, no one else had been charged in connection to the killings. 
 
 D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said, "it's pretty obvious that there was coordination" in the crime, but cautioned that it remains unclear what form that help took. 
 
 Lanier told CNN: "Whether there was someone else that actually took part in the kidnapping and the murder, it's going to take time to get this evidence together, and we just don't want to jump to conclusions or draw conclusions too soon." 
 
 While five others who were arrested along with Wint had been questioned and released, investigators are interviewing others, the chief said. 
 
 A grisly discovery 
 
 The arrest came a week after the grisly discovery of the bodies of Savvas and Amy Savopoulos , and their son, Philip. 
 
 The fourth victim, housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa , was found alive at the home and taken to the hospital, where she died. 
 
 A day after they "barely missed" catching him in New York, Cmdr. Robert Fernandez of the U.S. Marshals Service said, authorities spotted Wint, 34, leaving a Howard Johnson hotel in College Park, Maryland. 
 
 They tracked, surrounded and stopped Wint, who was riding in the back of a Chevrolet Cruze, and they also stopped a small moving truck that had been traveling alongside in northeast Washington. 
 
 Officers found $10,000 in cash during the arrest, according to the criminal complaint 
 
 Three women were with Wint in the car, and two men were in the moving truck, including Wint's brother. 
 
 Though questions remain, the victims' families breathed a little easier knowing that a suspect is in custody. 
 
 "While it does not abate our pain, we hope that it begins to restore a sense of calm and security to our neighborhood and to our city," the Savopoulos family said in a statement. 
 
 Signs of trouble before the fire 
 
 The fire in the $4.5 million home in one of Washington's toniest neighborhoods, not far from the home of Vice President Joe Biden, was a story in itself. 
 
 But soon it became evident that the blaze wasn't the full story. 
 
 The victims were bound with duct tape, and they suffered from blunt-force trauma, according to a source familiar with the investigation. There were signs that Philip, the 10-year-old son, had been stabbed and tortured, according to the source. 
 
 According to court documents released Friday, the boy's body was found in a bedroom on the second floor, which sustained heavy fire damage. The body was on the charred remains of a queen-sized bed, the documents state. The fire consumed a majority of the bed frame. 
 
 Figueroa's husband, Bernardo Alfaro, raised the prospect that the victims' torment started a day earlier, telling CNN affiliate WJLA-TV that his wife didn't come home the night of May 13. 
 
 Alfaro knocked on the mansion's door the next morning, noting that family's blue Porsche was parked on the street. He knew something was wrong, according to WJLA. He suddenly got a phone call from Savopoulos telling him that Figueroa was at a hospital with Amy Savopoulos, who wasn't feeling well. 
 
 "I started thinking, 'Why? She doesn't drive. She doesn't speak very good English,' " Alfaro said. 
 
 A second housekeeper, Nelitza Gutierrez, also received a text message from Amy Savopoulos hours before the fire began, telling her to stay home. It came a day after Gutierrez got a voice mail message from Savvas Savopoulos telling her not to come the following day because his wife was sick. 
 
 "Sometimes you never understand why something happens, but I'm lucky I'm still here," Gutierrez told CNN's Joe Johns. 
 
 Source: 'Whoever was in the house was looking for money' 
 
 What really happened is largely a mystery. The motive for the killings has not been divulged, but investigators are considering that money may have been a prime factor. 
 
 "Whoever was in the house was looking for money," said the source familiar with the investigation. 
 
 According to the court documents, as the episode unfolded inside, one of Savopoulos' employees came to the home and dropped off $40,000. 
 
 Wint and other suspects made off with the money, the documents state. 
 
 The money had been earmarked for a martial arts studio that Savvas Savopoulos was opening up in Chantilly, Virginia. Savopoulos was a martial arts enthusiast, according to online posts, and Wint once worked for American Iron Works. 
 
 Savvas Savopoulos was the CEO and president of American Iron Works, a building materials manufacturer based in Hyattsville, Maryland. 
 
 DNA on pizza crust 
 
 Investigators identified Wint as a suspect in an unusual way. 
 
 On the night of May 13, a Domino's deliveryman brought two pizzas to the Washington home while the family members and their housekeeper were being held inside against their will, according to the criminal complaint. 
 
 The pizza boxes were found in the same place where three of the victims were located. 
 
 The pizza was ordered by a woman -- believed to be Amy Savopoulos -- and paid for with her credit card, according to the court documents. 
 
 The pizza order included instructions for the pizza to be left at the door because the woman who ordered it claimed she was nursing a sick child and couldn't come to the door, the documents state. 
 
 The delivery man placed the pizzas on the front porch, rang the door bell, and left. 
 
 Investigators said they traced Wint to the scene after finding his DNA on pizza crust. 
 
 Ex-lawyer calls Wint 'kind, gentle, nonaggressive' 
 
 An attorney who represented Wint in six earlier cases -- none of which, he says, ended in guilty verdicts -- said he believes authorities have "the wrong guy." 
 
 Even if his DNA was found on pizza crust, it doesn't mean Wint went inside the Savopoulos mansion, much less bound and killed anyone, attorney Robin Ficker told CNN's "New Day." 
 
 A video released by Washington police of a man outside the mansion didn't show any identifying facial features, the attorney said. 
 
 "I know him to be a kind, gentle, nonaggressive person; (he is) someone you wouldn't mind your grandmother going to lunch with," the Maryland lawyer said. "... It's a rush to judgment. There's a presumption of innocence, which is not being mentioned by police." 
 
 According to court records, Wint has faced multiple charges over the years, including theft, assault and a sexual offense. He was cleared of some of them, but he has three assault convictions in New York. 
 
 He attended Marine Corps recruit training in 2001 but left before completing the camp. It was not clear why. 
 
 A neighbor of Wint's parents expressed sympathy for them. 
 
 "I feel very sad for them, for the pain they're going through, which is not their fault," Devera Zianal said. "Whatever happened, if he is guilty, he had choices. I know he was not raised this way."
– Daron Dylon Wint, the chief suspect in a Washington, DC, quadruple murder, has been taken into custody along with several possible accomplices, police say; CNN reports that Wint was today charged with first-degree murder while armed and is expected in court this afternoon. Police had been seeking the 34-year-old in New York City, but he returned to the Washington area yesterday afternoon and was arrested last night after police followed his vehicle from Maryland into northeast DC, sources tell NBC Washington. A police official tells the Washington Post that Wint was in a Chevrolet Cruze with two women, following a box truck with two men inside. All five were taken into custody and at least $10,000 in cash was found in the truck, the official says. A federal source tells MyFoxDC that one of the men in the truck was Wint's brother. Wint—who was identified from DNA on a pizza crust—has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of the Savopoulos family and a housekeeper. He used to work as a welder for the family's company, American Iron Works, and has a long record of alleged assaults and threats, according to court records seen by the Post. At least one of those threats involved his own family: Court records show that in 2005, Wint's father applied for a protection order, saying that his son had threatened to shoot him and his wife, Wint's stepmother, the New York Daily News reports. In 2010, Wint was arrested carrying a machete and a BB pistol outside the headquarters of American Iron Works, but the weapons charges were later dropped, the AP reports.
