A father in New York is accused of killing his girlfriend and 11-year-old son — slaughtering both with a shotgun inside of his home — despite having no known history of domestic violence, with neighbors describing him as a “very friendly” man with a “great family.”

“Certain people you don’t expect, and they were no one I would expect,” neighbor Laverne McInnis told local NBC affiliate WSTM about David Huff, 43, who is charged in Syracuse for the double murder of his son Jeremiah Huff and girlfriend Yeraldith Tschudy, 32, on Monday night at his home in the 100 block of Roney Road, according to police officials.

A manhunt was launched for Huff after the killings were discovered and he was taken into custody Tuesday morning “in the area of the crime scene” thanks to a tip from a local citizen who spotted him near his residence and called the cops. Body camera footage released by New York State Police and posted online by Syracuse.com shows Huff being apprehended as he walks on a nearby sidewalk.
