A man charged with murder in a double stabbing at a Lauderhill apartment complex<\/a> that left two other men dead is facing a new murder charge in a separate case, police said. <\/p>\n

A grand jury on Wednesday indicted 26-year-old Gregory DaSilva on three counts of first-degree \u202fpremeditated murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder.<\/p>\n

The latest charge against DaSilva stems from an incident that happened on July 5.<\/p>\n

According to Lauderhill Police, officers arrived at a nearby residence regarding the death of a 51-year-old man.<\/p>\n

Police said that during their investigation, the circumstances surrounding the death were suspicious, and detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division were called in.<\/p>\n

The investigation revealed that the man was seen alive earlier in the day and was found dead at the home by a family member.<\/p>\n

The deceased was identified as Jeffrey Standifer.<\/p>\n

Police said they continued to investigate the case, along with the previous double murder that happened on June 30.<\/p>\n

In the first case, officers arrived Riviera Hills apartment complex on Northwest 19th Street after a man flagged down an officer patrolling the area, who said someone tried to stab him, and an officer spotted the suspect, who then ran off.<\/p>\n

The victim said the suspect approached and asked him to call an ambulance, adding that the suspect’s shirt was soaked in what appeared to be blood, an arrest report said.<\/p>\n

He said the suspect told him he’d been stabbed and started coming toward the victim, who told him to step back, before the suspect removed a knife from his pocket and advanced toward the victim, who ran away, the report said.<\/p>\n

While searching the area, officers found a second male suffering from apparent stab wounds.<\/p>\n

One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other was rushed to a local hospital and later pronounced dead, police said.<\/p>\n

With the help of the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Sunrise Police, officers found DaSilva and took him into custody, officials said.<\/p>\n

An arrest report said DaSilva told a doctor he’d heard “evil voices”<\/a> that told him to murder someone, a new arrest report said.<\/p>\n

The two killed in the double stabbing were identified as Mesilien Pierre, 36, and Wilford White, 68,<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The identity of a third man who was stabbed and survived has not been released. <\/p>\n

Police said an investigation into both cases remains active.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man charged with murder in a double stabbing at a Lauderhill apartment complex that left two other…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250,8701],"class_list":["post-341509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news","tag-lauderhill"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=341509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
