An aunt of one of the victims, Matthew Miller
told KOB4 that Lemos and Miller are related and that her nephew was
‘simply at the wrong place at the wrong time and simply giving somebody a ride.’
Authorities in New Mexico described the investigation as ongoing and have not disclosed how Sean Lannon may be connected to Lemos and how the victims there died.
Meanwhile, in New Jersey,
Chief of Detectives Tom Gilbert of the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said the slaying on Monday, involving a victim in his 60s, was ‘not a random act,’ and that Lannon and the victim knew each other.
Lannon, originally from Gloucester County but had moved to New Mexico, was wanted in New Jersey for allegedly killing 66-year-old Michael Dabkowski inside the victim s home in East Greenwich, Gloucester County on Monday.
Gloucester County investigators told the New York Post that the alleged crime was not a random act, and NJ.com reported Dabkowski had been bludgeoned to death.
Lannon reportedly was asleep in a car he had stolen form Dabkoski when he was arrested, according to NJ.com.
In New Mexico, he was wanted for the alleged homicide of four people, including Lannon s ex-wife, 39-year-old Jennifer Lannon, who previously lived in South Jersey; 21-year-old Matthew Miller; 40-year-old Jesten Mata; and 60-year-old Randal Apostalon. All four people were residents of Grants, New Mexico. Jennifer Lannon, Miller and Mata had been reported missing since January by Grants police.
