NEW YORK - A suspect has reportedly been arrested in connection to the brutal murders of three women in Queens on Friday.
According to the New York Post, the suspect, a 22-year-old relative of the victims, was arrested in Virginia after driving there following the killings.
"The quick investigative work of NYPD detectives has led our law enforcement partners in Virginia to the individual wanted for the tragic murder of three women in Queens," Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a tweet. "The suspect has been taken into custody and is currently awaiting extradition."
Authorities say the incident happened around 10:30 a.m. in a home on 182nd St. in the Springfield Gardens neighborhood and that they believe the killings were part of a domestic incident.
