The suspect identified as Hancz Barron was arrested after the authorities discovered several dead bodies in the house.
The discovery prompted a tip-off for the search for the suspect a 21-year-old Cohen Bennett Hancz-Barronat, who police said was considered “armed and extremely dangerous,” and possibly driving a black 2010 Ford pickup that had been stolen earlier Wednesday morning.
According to a police spokesman Sgt. Jeremy Webb said “It’s a very gruesome scene in there,”
When Did It Happen And His Arrest:
The Police said the incident happened around 5:15 p.m. before they announced his arrest after authorities found him at an apartment complex in Lafayette. The arrest was made through a “joint effort” between FWPD Homicide, Gang and Violent Crimes Unit, Vice and Narcotics Unit, and the Indiana State Police.
Webb said friends and family had identified him as a suspect.
Hancz-Barron was being transported back to Fort Wayne, where he was expected to be booked into the Allen County Jail on four counts of Murder.
A representative from the victims’ family provided a statement to WANE 15 Wednesday:
