Authorities reported a disturbing case in Madison, New York, where a man is accused of killing his parents before taking his own life. Investigators disclosed that Justin Sislo, 35, had a violent history marked by numerous arrests.
Incident Details
The tragedy unfolded on Friday, as relayed to Fox News Digital by deputies. The bodies of Steve Sislo, 76, and Donna Walker-Sislo, 72, were discovered in their home on McCormick Road. Justin Sislo is suspected of shooting his parents and then himself. This information was confirmed by the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.
“While observing the residence from the exterior, the first responding Deputy observed two adult subjects, obviously deceased, through a main level window. Upon making entry to the home, a third adult subject was located deceased inside,” stated the sheriff’s office.
The couple had recently paid $10,000 for Justin Sislo’s bail following a domestic violence arrest involving multiple charges. This was his second release on bail within a month.
Background and Arrest History
Justin Sislo had a notable arrest on July 29 with a history of violent conduct. At his last arrest, deputies found several firearms in his possession despite existing protective orders prohibiting him from owning guns.
In a previous incident in Cayuga County in June, court records indicated charges against him for “strangulation” and “endangering an incompetent.”
Public Response
The local community is reeling from the loss, particularly because Steve Sislo was known for his contributions to local organizations such as the Capitol Theatre and the Rome Area Chamber of Commerce.
Madison County Sheriff Todd Hood expressed his dissatisfaction with the judicial decision that allowed Sislo out on bail, suggesting that a stronger approach should have been taken to keep him in custody.
