NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. — Authorities in Florida say the victim of a quadruple slaying was given information on a domestic violence shelter before her ex-boyfriend killed her, her parents and another man.
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said Tuesday that deputies went to the home of Megan Brown on Aug. 28. Brown told deputies that Adam Matos, the father of her son, threatened her and pulled a knife, cutting her finger.
Deputies gave Brown a domestic violence booklet and information on a battered women’s shelter, and they started looking for Matos.
Police say the bodies were found Sept. 4, about a mile from the family’s home.
Matos is in custody, charged with four counts of first-degree murder. A message left at the public defender’s office was immediately returned.
