A Virginia man was arrested Tuesday and accused of killing four people who shared a home with him, police said.
David Nathaniel Maine, 24, was arrested on four counts of murder, Prince William County police said in a statement.
Two men and two women were found dead Monday in different parts of the home when officers arrived at the home in Woodbridge, about 20 miles south of Washington, D.C., police said.
Miguel Duran Flores, 44; Kelly Victoria Sotelo, 42; Karrie Ayline Sotelo, 19; and Richard Julio Jesus Revollar Corrales, 36, were identified as the victims.
“All four decedents and the suspect were residents of the home and known to one another. Three of the deceased are family members, while the fourth was a tenant who resided in the basement,” police said.
The suspect was an acquaintance of a resident who was not home during the incident, police said.
"The investigation revealed an altercation occurred inside the home. After the incident, the suspect left the residence and called 9-1-1 to report that someone had shot into the residence. Officers arrived on scene and located the suspect a short distance from the home where he was detained without incident," they said.
Three of the four victims were shot to death, police said. The cause of death for the fourth victim has not been determined, police said. A firearm, police said, was recovered at the home.
In a news conference Tuesday, Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham called the slayings "horrific."
"Every adjective that you can use to describe a tragedy you could use to describe what happened here last night," Newsham said.
Duran Flores and Sotelo were a couple. "The two of them were just recently married," Newsham said.
Karrie Ayline Sotelo was the couple's daughter, he said.
Relatives of the victims could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.
Maine is being held in jail on no bond, police said. It was not immediately clear Tuesday when he would appear in court or whether he had retained an attorney.
Maine's relatives could not be reached for comment.
