Nationwide manhunt for suspected killer Christopher Keeley ends in Miami Beach
MIAMI BEACH – A break in the case following a nationwide manhunt for a suspected killer from Massachusetts.
Christopher Keeley was arrested in Miami Beach on Friday.
According to Miami Beach PD, it all started with an aggravated battery call near 41 Street and N Meridian Avenue.
The responding officers found a man suffering from a head injury at the scene. The victim was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he's currently in critical condition.
Officers located Keeley not far from the scene. He was taken into custody, but charges in connection to the assault are "pending the forensic analysis of the evidence located," Miami Beach PD said.
The 27-year-old Keeley was wanted in connection with the murder of an elderly couple in Marshfield, which is about an hour away from Boston.
Police were called to that area for a wellbeing check earlier this week and found the victims stabbed and bludgeoned to death.
According to a police warrant, Keeley knew the couple and lived at the home for some time.
It's unclear when he will be extradited back to Massachusetts.
