Police in New York City used the same technology to arrest a Whitehall triple-murder suspect as Virginia State Police used to find the man who fatally shot two journalists on live television Wednesday, Aug. 26, before committing suicide.
New York City police Aug. 25 arrested Daveron Cortez Minnis, 19, in the Jamaica section of Queens, N.Y., after police there used license-plate readers, known as LPRs, to find the 2014 Dodge Charger witnesses reported at the scene at the shooting, Whitehall Sgt. Dan Kelso said.
Minnis remained in New York City on Friday, Aug. 28, awaiting an extradition hearing, Kelso said.

Police continue to search for a second suspect in the triple slaying, Kelso said.
