Daytona Beach police department, on Tuesday, has released video footage on social media of a black man believed to be the person of interest who slashed the throats of a married couple over the weekend.
“We’re looking for this man in connection to the murders of a married couple this past weekend. He is a person of interest,” police posted on Facebook.
Surveillance footage apparently shows a Black man wearing a cowboy hat, gray shirt with a plaid scarf, gloves, white pants and light brown boots. The man can also be seen carrying a backpack.
“This is probably one of the most vicious and gruesome incidents that I’ve witnessed in my 20 years,” Chief Jakari Young said. “We can’t rule out that this may be totally random, but if it is totally random, the person responsible has to be deranged.”
Law enforcement officials say they are doing their best to find and capture the heartless person responsible for slaughtering the husband and wife as they were heading home from Bike Week.
Family and friends told FOX 35 Orlando that the couple, identified as Terry and Brenda Aultman, usually attend the annual event. A GoFundMe page has been created to support their family.
Terry Aultman had worked at Amazon’s fulfillment center in the Deltona branch, according to WFTV. His wife had worked for Goodwill of North Florida since 2017, according to officials.
Investigators are yet to determine a motive for the gruesome murder. Authorities are asking anyone with information regarding the suspect’s whereabouts to contact the Daytona Beach Police Department at 386-761-5257 or email [email protected].
