Everoy Morrison was hit with two counts of first degree murder in the deaths of his sister-in-law, Keisha Morrison and niece, Kelsey Morrison, Union County Prosecutor William Daniel and Roselle Police Chief Stacey Williams announced Friday, May 5.
On April 18, Roselle Police Officers were called to a home on the 200 block of West 7th Ave on a report of two missing people, Daniel said. A search of the home uncovered the bodies, Daniel said.
Police discovered Keisha's vehicle had been taken and tracked the vehicle to Maryland where they located Everoy, and arrested him for being in possession of a stolen car last month, Daniel said.
An investigation led by police in New Jersey and Maryland identified Everoy as the man behind the murders, Daniel said. Everoy had been living in the victim's basement at the time of the homicides, Daniel said.
Everoy was being held in the Baltimore County Detention Center in Maryland awaiting extradition proceedings, Daniel said.
