A New Jersey man was convicted for the brutal murder of two children and a college student he killed after he broke into a house because he was angry over a Facebook post, prosecutors announced Saturday.
Arrington fatally stabbed 8-year-old Aerial Little Whitehurst and 11-year-old Al-Jahon Whitehurst, then fatally shot 23-year-old Syasia McBorroughs — a college student who had been visiting the family. The killer’s deadly rage came after one of of the stabbing victims had allegedly reposted a police alert on Facebook that named Arrington as a suspect in an earlier shooting and sexual assault, officials said,Arrington broke into the Whitehurst residence in November 2016 in the middle of the day with a loaded gun and tied up all of the residents, prosecutors said. He then tortured them with kitchen knives.
Arrington fled before police arrived, but was later arrested following a standoff with law enforcement, NJ.com reported.
