Boynton Beach police issue BOLO in search for man wanted in Leisureville double homicide
Authorities have issued a "be on the lookout" bulletin for a Texas man suspected of killing two people in a Boynton Beach retirement community on June 23 and have offered a reward for information leading to his capture.
Police issued the alert for Jyuno Alexander Daniels in connection to the deaths of Selicia Noreika and Freddy Bedasie, both 63, in the Leisureville community off Woolbright Road.
A BOLO allows one law-enforcement agency to share information with others regarding a person at large. During a news conference on June 25, Boynton Beach Police Chief Joe DeGiulio announced that detectives have obtained a warrant to arrest Daniels on two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm.
'If they do see this individual, he is armed. He is dangerous. Call us,' DeGiulio said at a news conference on June 25.
Investigators have not disclosed a motive for the shootings., They said Daniels was temporarily residing with Bedasie and Noreika in a home on the 2000 block of Southwest 17th Street. Police have not confirmed Daniels' relationship to the couple.
A preliminary investigation showed that a disturbance occurred within the residence and escalated to the point of Daniels shooting both Noreika and Bedasie. Investigators found Noreika in a bedroom at the residence and Bedasie in a neighbor's driveway.
The shootings startled residents of Leisureville, known for its rows of white, cookie-cutter homes with pastel-colored shutters and one- and two-car garages. Many residents are "snowbirds" and leave for the summer months to head back north and many of the houses remain vacant this time of year.
DeGiulio said the U.S. Marshals Service has joined the search and urged residents to vigilant of their surroundings. Investigators say residents should avoid approaching Daniels.
Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County is offering a cash reward of up to $3,000 to anyone with information on Daniels' whereabouts. Anyone information can call Crime Stoppers at 800-458-TIPS (8477), or the Boynton Beach police tip line at 561-742-6156.

Cal Poly Pomona graduate released after immigration arrest in downtown L.A.
Federal authorities on Thursday released the Cal Poly Pomona graduate who was arrested during an immigration enforcement operation downtown Los Angeles earlier this week. Andrea Guadalupe Velez, who is a U.S. citizen, expressed her relief after spending the past two days in a federal detention facility. "It's been hard," Velez said. "I didn't know all this media coverage was happening and I'm just relieved that I'm outside." Velez's mother and sister recorded federal agents carrying Velez away during an immigration enforcement operation. Her family had just dropped her off at the shoe store and had barely even driven a block before the arrest began. Velez said she remembered masked men suddenly surrounding her. "It was just a day of work and everything happened so fast," Velez said. "They didn't identify themselves, so I was kind of scared. I was like 'what's going on?' ... I wasn't doing anything crazy. I was just going to follow orders, and they decided to pick me up, and that was kind of shocking." On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said Velez "was arrested for assaulting an ICE enforcement officer." In the criminal complaint against Velez, a federal agent said, "he saw a woman (later identified as Velez) step into his path and extend one of her arms in an apparent effort to prevent him from apprehending the male subject he was chasing." Velez denied the claim. She added that she did not know the man and believes she was profiled. "When I was already in the car, arrested, they asked for my ID, and they were kind of questioning whether I was a U.S. citizen or not," she said. "I'm Latina, so I'm pretty sure I was probably racially profiled." CBS News Los Angeles contacted DHS for a comment on Velez's claims. They did not respond as of Thursday night.

Japan executes murderer dubbed ‘The Twitter killer' who dismembered nine people in his home
A man dubbed the "Twitter killer" has been executed in Japan for the murder and dismemberment of nine people. Takahiro Shiraishi was sentenced to death in 2020 for the killings, which took place in 2017 at his apartment near Tokyo. Shiraishi lured his victims, most of whom had posted suicidal thoughts on social media, before murdering them. He was also convicted of sexually abusing female victims. The execution comes as calls for the abolition of capital punishment in Japan continue to grow. This debate has intensified following the acquittal last year of Iwao Hakamada, who had been the world's longest-serving death-row inmate. Shiraishi was hanged at the Tokyo Detention House in high secrecy with nothing disclosed until the execution was done. Police arrested him in 2017 after finding the bodies of eight females and one male in cold-storage cases in his apartment. Investigators said Shiraishi approached the victims via Twitter, offering to assist them with their suicidal wishes. He killed the eight women, including teenagers, after raping them, and also killed a boyfriend of one of the women to silence him. Japan's suicide rate ranks among the world's highest. Following a recent decline, the number has climbed back this year as people were hit by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Japan's crime rate is relatively low, but it has seen some high-profile mass killings in recent years.
