Father and daughter from Brooklyn found dead with their necks cut. Here’s who police arrested.

NEW YORK — New York City police are investigating a woman’s gruesome discovery after she found her friends dead with their necks slit in their Brooklyn home.

On Sunday afternoon, the woman visited 66-year-old Jacqueline Delyons and her 91-year-old father Roosevelt Simmons at their home in Cypress Hills.

She found them lying on the kitchen floor with cuts and immediately called 911, police said.

The victim’s friend has been arrested

According to police sources, Delyons’ boyfriend was in the home when the woman arrived. She asked him what happened after she saw the bodies and he allegedly replied, “You know what happened.”

Police took him into custody for questioning before arresting him on Monday.

“I find it shocking. Doesn’t seem like the kind of person who could do something like that,” said Hubert Walcott, a neighbor.

“I never heard the guy curse, nothing like that. The guy was a good guy, but I don’t know what happened,” said Darryl Moorer, a family friend.

No charges have been filed and the motive remains unclear. There are no other suspects at this time, police said.

Community mourns the death of father and daughter

Meanwhile, family and friends are mourning the deaths of Delyons and Simmons, who they called “Bubba.”

“At the moment we are still trying to process all of this,” says Ramon Berghout, Delyons’ ex-partner. “Jackie was the mother of my son… Beautiful person.”

“She’s a very friendly person, Jackie,” Walcott said.

“I’ve been in the area for over 45 years. Bubba and Jackie are good people,” Moorer said. “Bubba always came to our barbershop to get his haircut regularly.”

Delyons and Simmons lived in the neighborhood for decades, neighbors said, adding that they were never concerned about suspicious activity in the home.
