Daytona Beach Police Chief reassured residents.

Daytona Beach police identify 2 people who were killed in a stabbing.

The man accused of killing a couple in Daytona Beach is still in jail.

Where were the couple killed in Daytona Beach?

The epicenter of Bike Week and two blocks from Seabreeze Boulevard was the location of the attack. The police were called to the scene just before 2 a.m.

The bodies of the victims were found in a grassy area next to the sidewalk on the southeast corner of Wild Olive and Riverview within 45 minutes of the attack.

Older, well-kept homes line the beachfront neighborhood. The Seabreeze area is a tourist and nightlife area.

Who is suspect Jean Macean, accused of killing the Daytona Beach couple?

Jean R. Macean

Police said that Jean Macean arrived in Daytona Beach on a bus the day before the killings.

Macean had only one felony arrest and two misdemeanors, all related to drugs, according to the police chief. The chief did not discuss Macean's mental health.

Macean was taken into custody about 11 a.m. Less than 24 hours after Daytona Beach Police offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the murderers of the Aultmans, he was outside his home on Pointe Vista Circle.

Macean appeared in front of a judge in Florida on Friday and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The suspect was held without bail.

Macean will be returned to Volusia County to await trial at some point.

Young said that Macean was taken into custody with the help of the U.S. marshals.

What was the evidence Daytona Beach police used to track down a suspect?

Police used video from nearby homes to try and identify a suspect in the hunt for a killer. Young said the person of interest had been seen in different areas of the city and police were interviewing everyone who had seen him.

Young said that the suspect's genetic material was sent to a lab to be tested.

What the police chief has said about the killings during Bike Week

Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young speaks to beachside residents Wednesday, March 9, 2022, during a meeting at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church following the double homicide on North Wild Olive Avenue.

Police said the motive was not clear.

The initial investigation was into a motorcycle gang possibly being involved because the attack happened during the 10 days of Daytona Beach's larger annual motorcycle event, Bike Week. There was no chance of that happening.

Young held a community meeting Wednesday to update residents on the investigation.

What happened to that couple is not understandable. It's pointless. We are still trying to figure out what happened.

The scene was one of the worst that Young has seen as a police officer.
