East Elmhurst man found guilty of killing mother, brother in family home in 2023: DA - QNS
"An East Elmhurst man is facing 50 years to life in prison after he was convicted by a jury on Thursday of killing his mother and brother in the family home they shared in July 2023, and then dragging a garbage bag containing the body of his sibling from the house to a nearby curb."
"Roscoe Danielson, 42, previously of 104th Street, was found guilty following a two-week trial in Queens Supreme Court of two counts of murder in the first degree, weapons possession, tampering with physical evidence, concealment of a human corpse, endangering the welfare of a child, and other related crimes. The jury deliberated for just three hours before reaching a verdict."
"According to the charges and trial testimony, at approximately 8:18 a.m. on July 5, 2023, Danielson dragged a large black trash bag from his home at 32-41 104th St. and left it at the curb. Later that day, at around 2 p.m., police from the 115th Precinct responded to a 911 call from a neighbor who smelled a foul odor emanating from a garbage bag. Officers opened it and found the decomposing body of 31-year-old Kyle Danielson - Roscoe Danielson's younger brother - wrapped in plastic bags and blankets. He had been shot in the torso and suffered approximately 50 stab wounds to his head, neck, and chest."
Roscoe Danielson, 42, was convicted of murdering his mother, Cheryl Myrick, and his 31-year-old brother, Kyle Danielson, in July 2023. Kyle’s body was found in a trash bag at the curb after a neighbor reported a foul odor; he had been shot and suffered about 50 stab wounds. Police later discovered Myrick’s decomposing body in a second-floor bedroom; she had been stabbed roughly 38 times. Danielson was arrested while pushing his son in a stroller; officers recovered a 9 mm handgun and a knife during a search. The jury convicted after a two-week trial and three hours of deliberation.
