PHOENIX — A 21-year-old man was arrested and booked into the Pinal County Jail on four counts of first-degree murder.
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office received a “frantic” call from a home near Rosemead Drive and Bel Air Road outside Casa Grande at around 1:45 p.m. Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
When officers arrived, they discovered Richard Wilson on scene with four family members, all dead.
The victims were identified as 47-year-old Richard Wilson, the suspect’s father; 50-year-old Ellen Otterman, the suspect’s mother; 16-year-old Rudy Wilson, the suspect’s sister and 5-year-old Renaya White, the suspect’s niece.
“This act of depraved violence will have long lasting effects on all those who knew this family,” Sheriff Mark Lamb said in a press release.
“While nothing will bring their loved ones back, I send my prayers and support to everyone affected.”
Wilson is being held on a $2.5 million bond, authorities said.
An investigation remains ongoing.
