A man suspected of killing three — his stepmother, his teenage sister, and the mother of his children — was arrested Saturday in Trenton, New Jersey.
Although police had surrounded a house where they believed Andre Gordon, 26, was hiding, he was arrested not far from the home, according to WPVI-TV in Philadelphia.
Steve Wilson, police director for the city of Trenton, said Gordon had barricaded the building, but left the house before it was surrounded, WPVI reported.
“He was at that house at one point, but before we were able to establish a perimeter, he slipped out,” Wilson said, according to WPVI.
He was walking on the street when he was arrested.
“He was stopped and identified and taken into custody,” Wilson said.
Police had earlier evacuated the house where they believed Gordon was hiding.
Gordon was sought in connection with three killings that took place in the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, community of Levittown, according to CBS.
