SEATTLE (AP) — The King County prosecutor’s office has filed two counts of aggravated first-degree murder against a man accused of shooting his girlfriend and their 13-week-old daughter.
The charges were filed Thursday against 29-year-old Daniel Thomas Hicks. He’s accused of killing 28-year-old Jennifer Morgan and their baby, Emma. Their bodies were found Tuesday in the basement of her parents’ south Seattle home, where she had lived for several years with Hicks.
Hicks remains at large, and police say they consider him armed and dangerous. Aggravated first-degree murder is punishable either by death or life in prison without the chance of parole.
