Police arrested a man after two people were found with their necks fatally slashed in a bloody scene at a Brooklyn home Sunday afternoon.
Lewis Kerry, 46, was arrested and charged on Nov. 11 for killing 91-year-old Roosevelt Simmons and 66-year-old Jacqueline Delyons on Nov. 10.
Kerry is charged with two counts of murder in the first degree and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Officers from the 75th Precinct responded to a 911 call of two people needing help inside their home in a two-story house located next to a daycare at 186 Warwick St. in Cypress Hills at around 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 10, police said.
When officers arrived, they found the victims, Simmons and Delyons, lying on the kitchen floor with their necks slashed, according to law enforcement sources.
EMS responded and pronounced both victims dead at the scene.
Police said Kerry and the victims lived at the same address. A source familiar with the preliminary investigation identified Simmons and Delyons as father and daughter. Their relationship to the killer remains unclear right now.
Police could not yet confirm what may have led to the gruesome killings.
The investigation remains ongoing.
