TAMPA — The son of a suburban couple whose home had a history of violence was jailed late Wednesday, accused of going on a bloody rampage that left his father dead and his mother and one sister badly wounded.
Deputies spotted James Kenneth McElroy's blue 1989 Jaguar at Camden Wood Apartments on Hillsborough Avenue and took the 21-year-old into custody without incident Wednesday night.
That quiet surrender ended a daylong search that began when deputies stepped into the family's Carrollwood home and found James McElroy, 50, stabbed to death and Karen L. McElroy, 54, and their 18-year-old daughter Michelle seriously injured. Both were in critical condition at St. Joseph's Hospital.
Only Michelle's twin sister escaped unhurt. At 4:16 a.m., she fled to a neighbor's house to call 911.
