WASHINGTON — Metropolitan Police have identified a suspect in a quadruple homicide and fire that killed three family members and a housekeeper in the District last Thursday.
Daron Dylon Wint, 34, of Maryland is wanted on a D.C. Superior Court arrest warrant charging him with first-degree murder while armed.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday evening that police matched Wint to DNA found on the crust of a Domino's pizza that had been ordered to the house the night of May 13, as the victims were being held.
Two clerks, who asked not to be identified, at a Domino's Pizza told WUSA-TV that a delivery was made to the house that evening.
On May 14, Savvas Savopoulos 46, his wife, Amy, 47, their son, Phillip Savopoulos, 10, and housekeeper Veralicia Figuaroa, 57, were found dead at a mansion near the National Cathedral in Northwest D.C.
Detectives say they believe the killers held the four victims captive for about 10 hours, and that they successfully forced the Savopoulos family to get them about $40,000 in cash, which was delivered to the house by an assistant to Savvas Savopoulos.

Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy Lanier has confirmed that three of the four victims were beaten or stabbed before the killers set fire to the almost-$5 million mansion.
Figuaroa's husband, Bernado Alfaro, reportedly went to the mansion on Thursday morning to look for his wife. He said he thought someone was home, but no one answered the door.

A short time later, Savvas Savopoulos contacted Alfaro saying he needed Figuaroa to stay at the house because Amy Savopoulos was sick and might need to go to the hospital. Alfaro told CBS News that that made little sense to him because his wife could not drive or speak English well. Hours later, Alfaro heard that the family had been murdered, WUSA-TV reported.
Funeral services for the Savopoulos family are scheduled for Monday. The Savopoulos family also includes two daughters, but both were away at boarding school during the murders.
