    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has flagged for deportation the sole suspect charged in the high-profile, quadruple homicide in the multimillion dollar Northwest home of businessman Savvas Savopoulos.


    The agency has placed an immigration detainer on Darron Delon Dennis Wint, who was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in last month’s killings of a D.C. couple, their 10-year-old child and the family’s housekeeper. ICE officials confirmed that Mr. Wint, who is a citizen of Guyana, could face deportation from the United States if he is convicted.


    ICE spokeswoman Carissa Cutrell said Mr. Wint is in the United States legally as a lawful permanent resident, a term used by the agency for green card holders. She said the agency filed the detainer, which asks the local jail to alert officials of an individual’s pending release so he or she can be taken into ICE custody, after Mr. Wint was arrested and charged with murder.

    A D.C. Superior Court judge has ordered Mr. Wint to remain in jail pending further court proceedings. If convicted, ICE would not take him into the agency’s custody until after he served his sentence.

    Immigration courts would then determine whether he should be deported.


    Ms. Cutrell
    declined to say whether ICE had ever issued previous detainers for Mr. Wint, who has prior convictions of assault.


    Though police believe others were involved in the crime, Mr. Wint is currently the only person charged in the May 14 slayings of businessman Savvas Savopoulos; his wife, Amy; their 10-year-old son, Philip; and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa. The victims were found dead inside the Savopouloses’ multi-million dollar Northwest home by firefighters called to the scene as the house went up in flames. Police said the victims suffered blunt force trauma and stab wounds and had been held captive in the home since the previous night.

    It is fairly rare to issue detainers against green card holders, according to ICE data analyzed by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Of nearly 950,000 detainers that ICE lodged during 50-month period covering fiscal 2008 through the start of fiscal 2012, only 28,489 were sought against legal permanent residents. The Department of Homeland Security reported that 13.3 million green card holders were living in the country in 2012.

    Police are searching for evidence that would link an assistant of a slain corporate executive to the killings, court documents show.

    Police obtained a search warrant late last week for a vehicle belonging to the 28-year-old assistant, a driver for Savvas Savopoulos who told police he delivered $40,000 in cash to the family’s house while they were being held for ransom before they were slain.

    According to the warrant, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday, investigators were looking for “evidence related to the murder of the four decedents,” including “forensic and physical evidence linking (the assistant) to this offense.”


    The assistant has not been identified as a suspect. The documents identify him by name, but the AP is not doing so because he has not been charged with a crime.


    The search of the assistant’s car yielded a laptop computer, external hard drives, two backpacks and his passport, among other items, the documents show.

    Wow, a quadruple homicide and if convicted they think he'll see the light of day during his lifetime? If this guy did it, then he wouldn't or shouldn't see a "release" ... ever. His sentence should be 4 life times without the possibility of parole.

    I am not doubting that Wint is involved, and more than possibly the slayer. I just keep getting feelings of the story being inadequate. Now with ICE involved, well, I feel a need to look for cover-ups. Wint needs to watch his back, now.

    I tend to think that, tool Motive? Whose motive? If the story goes too deep we may find a revelation.

    Prosecutors Push for Trial Date in DC Mansion Murders Case

    Prosecutors were visibly frustrated Friday after a judge denied their request for a trial date for the man accused of killing a couple, their young son and their housekeeper in a Northwest Washington mansion last year.

    Darron Wint appeared in court for a status hearing Friday.



    The victims -- Savvas Savopoulos, 46; his wife, Amy, 47; their 10-year-old son, Philip, and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa, 57 -- were found dead inside the Savopoulos family's multi-million-dollar Northwest D.C., mansion last May.

    During the hearing, the prosecution said it has tested hundreds of items found in the Savopoulos home, and DNA linked Wint to five items. But the defense said it needed more time to test the evidence.

    The prosecution was visibly frustrated when the judge sided with the defense and set another status hearing for Feb. 3, 2017.

    Wint pleaded not guilty earlier this year to the 20 felony charges he's facing in the brutal crime. The murder charges include four counts each of felony murder in the course of a kidnapping, felony murder in the course of a burglary and felony premeditated murder.

    Wint faces life in prison without possibility for release on each murder charge. The minimum sentence is 30 years on each murder charge.

    Wint of Lanham, Maryland, kidnapped the victims inside the Savopoulos home, extorted $40,000 from them, killed them and set fire to the $3 million house, an indictment said. He allegedly held the victims captive for roughly 18 hours.

    Police previously said they believed Wint had help from others holding the Savopouloses and Figueroa captive, according to charging documents, but no other suspects have been identified.

    There is evidence that the victims were tied up and possibly tortured, and the weapons included a baseball bat, Samurai swords and an unknown sharp object, police said.

    The couple and Figueroa were beaten with a bat and stabbed with a sharp object, according to the indictment. Philip was stabbed and burned.

    Police who investigated the scene said in court filings that Philip was found inside a bedroom that had been burned so badly that it was impossible to identify the boy.
    Police also found a bloody baseball bat at the scene.

    The amount of time the family may have been held can be traced through phone calls and texts from the Savopoulouses and their housekeepers.

    A source close to the family detailed a call from Amy to Savvas on May 13, asking Savvas to come home. Police believe Amy, Philip and Figueroa were already being held at that time.
    Hours later investigators believe Wint forced Savvas to make a call to another housekeeper, known as Nelly, to make sure she would not come to the house that day.

    On a voicemail, Savvas was heard telling Nelly to stay home because Amy wss home sick, Vera was staying with her and the couple was "going through some stuff with Philip." He asked that Nelly send a text message to confirm the voicemail was received.

    On the morning of May 14, 2015, a final text message was sent to Nelly from Amy's phone."I am making sure you do not come today," the message said.

    The family's 2008 blue Porsche was later found torched in the parking lot of a church in New Carrollton, Maryland, about 13 miles from the Savopoulos home. A detective said Wint's DNA was found on a construction vest inside the car.

    The detective also revealed that $30,000 of the $40,000 ransom has been accounted for. Police found $10,000 in money orders inside the vehicle Wint was in prior to his arrest. Cash and money orders worth $20,000 were also found inside a panel truck that was accompanying Wint.

    Wint, who also goes by Daron Dylon Wint, was identified as a suspect through DNA found on a Domino's pizza crust found at the crime scene. But he had already fled the D.C. area, authorities said. Investigators tracked him to Brooklyn, New York, where they barely missed him. Wint paid someone in cash to drive him from Brooklyn back to Maryland, sources said.

    He was arrested May 21, 2015, after police found him riding in a two-vehicle caravan in Northeast D.C. Authorities say they found cash, cellphones and knives in the vehicles.

    Savvas Savopoulos was the CEO of American Iron Works, a construction-materials supplier that played a role in rebuilding the Pentagon after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Wint once worked for the company as a welder.

    The murders, just blocks from the National Cathedral on a street lined with privacy fences and hidden cameras in one of D.C.'s wealthiest neighborhoods, stunned the city. The Savopoulos family was well-known there and in the community of their church, Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral.

    Savvas gave to charities for children's health; Amy was known as a go-to volunteer and for get-togethers she hosted for the neighborhood.

    The couple also had two daughters, who were away at boarding school at the time of the murders.
