OMAHA — An Omaha man who police say killed his parents and teenage niece inside his home was taken into custody Wednesday in Jackson, Tennessee.
John Dalton Jr., 46, was being sought on a warrant for first-degree murder in the homicides. He previously served prison time for the 1998 killing of his wife.
He was taken into custody without incident on Interstate 40 in north Jackson.Â
Tuesday, officers responding to a report of a shooting found the bodies of Dalton's relatives at 3912 N. 37th St. at about 8 p.m. Tuesday. Police identified the victims as John W. Dalton, 70; Jean Dalton, 65; and Leonna Dalton-Phillip, 18.
Court records say he made a deal with prosecutors and was imprisoned after pleading guilty to manslaughter and other crimes for the death of his wife, Shannon Dalton, in 1998. Prison records say he was paroled in 2010.
