Florida Man Arrested In 1993 Bronx Execution-Style Double Murder Cold Case

A Florida man was arrested this week in connection with the execution-style slayings of a married couple in the Bronx in 1993, authorities said.

Police said the arrest came after a decades-old cold case breakthrough and followed renewed forensic review of evidence. The couple had been shot at close range inside their home while their child was present, officials said.

The episode traces back to the 1993 killings, which remained unsolved for decades despite earlier leads. Detectives kept the case open and later reexamined physical evidence and case files, searching for new forensic connections and witnesses.

Investigators credited modern forensic techniques and cross-jurisdiction cooperation with producing the breakthrough that led to the arrest. Authorities did not immediately release the suspect's name, a motive, or details about potential charges pending extradition.

Prosecutors in New York will review the case before formal charges are filed, officials said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the NYPD cold case unit.
