Triple murder suspect from Virginia caught in Steuben County
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A woman who New York State Police took into custody after a chase in Steuben County is accused of killing her three roommates in Virginia.
The search for Alyssa Venable, 23, launched a massive manhunt. The chase ended when her car crashed around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Troopers say they popped her tires to stop the car, which at times was going over a hundred miles an hour.
Venable is accused of killing her roommates in Spotsylvania County, Virginia – a half hour north of Richmond – on Tuesday night. Deputies went to a home for a welfare check and found a 77-year-old man, 60-year-old man, and 65-year-old woman dead with “upper body trauma”.
They soon identified Venable as the suspect. She was wanted on second-degree murder and a firearms charge. The AP reports that Venable was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery back in May, court paperwork shows.
