A chilling double murder that left a three-year-old child witness to the brutal execution of her parents in the Bronx 30 years ago has finally seen justice. William Antonio Solis, aka ‘Vegano’ or ‘La Vega,’ was arrested in Tampa, Florida, for the June 21, 1993, murders of Luis Guerrero and his wife Danis Sime.
According to authorities, Solis shot both victims in cold blood in front of their young daughter, who miraculously survived the tragedy. For decades, the case went cold, with Solis evading capture and living a life in hiding.
But time was no barrier for investigators, who worked tirelessly to track down the elusive suspect. The long-term investigation was a joint effort between the NYPD and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), with both agencies remaining committed to solving the case.
‘This Office always will pursue perpetrators of violence, and time is no bar to our investigation and prosecution of these horrific crimes,’ said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.
