CAUGHT: Son Busted After Both Parents Killed In Englewood: Cops
A supermarket was locked down; the manhunt has ended for the victims' son after both parents were found dead, officials said.
A man was arrested Saturday night after both of his parents were found stabbed to death, Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes confirmed to Patch.
The son, who was not identified, was caught soon after authorities released the identities of the husband and wife who were found dead in their Englewood home Saturday morning.
The son was arrested while he was walking back to his car that was parked at ShopRite, Wildes said. The son was believed to be armed with a knife, Wildes said. Wildes said the ShopRite was locked down for about an hour earlier in the day when the car was discovered.
