Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman said he is considering the death penalty for two men accused in the killings of three members of the same family. One of the victims was a friend of one of the suspects, according to court records.
Hoffman's statement came with an announcement Tuesday that formal charges had been filed against the suspects, Devin X. Myers and Daniel L. Jones, both 27.
Myers was Perdue's son and Skinner's nephew and was also friends with Musick, according to a probable cause affidavit.“At this point in time it is premature to make a decision one way or the other on whether I intend to seek the death penalty in this case. The investigation is ongoing. However, I can say that it is certainly still on the table," Hoffman wrote in a statement.
Myers, on the other hand, is charged with five counts of murder and one count each of armed robbery, criminal confinement, conspiracy to commit robbery and obstruction of justice. He was supposed to be on probation for a previous armed robbery charge, according to an affidavit.Two of the murder counts against Myers are connected with the killings of Malcolm Purdue and Kyndra Skinner. They charge two different sections of the murder statute, according to Hoffman's announcement.
