Jamel Weston Bio – Jamel Weston wiki
Jamel Weston has been arrested in a double murder inside an Eastwood apartment last month that left a disabled youngster alone with the bodies for three days, according to the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office.
AGE:
Jamel Weston is 46 years old.
DETAIL OF INCIDENCE:
Police in Syracuse, N.Y., have arrested one of the three people they suspect was behind a brutal double-homicide that likely left a small child scarred for life.
Investigators believe Alexis Sellin, 32, and Jami Crawford, 46, were shot multiple times on August 21 in their apartment, but their remains were not found until August 24.
Also found in their apartment that day was their 5-year-old child, according to a Syracuse Police statement.
The child was physically unharmed but had lived for three days with his parents’ bodies.
Jamel Weston was identified as a possible suspect soon after the couple died.
On Monday, Weston was arrested by Syracuse Police at the Onondaga County Justice Center.
That is where Weston “was being held on unrelated narcotics charges,” reads the statement.
Weston has been charged with single counts of first-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He has not entered pleas to those charges.
He is in custody without bond and does not yet have an attorney to speak on his behalf.
Police had responded to the apartment building the day of the alleged murders after receiving an unspecified noise complaint. Still, it is unclear if they entered any residences on the property.
The bodies were found on August 24 by a home healthcare worker.
Authorities are still seeking two additional suspects who have not been named.
It was unclear Tuesday if police had established a motive for the killings.
