New Orleans Double Murder Suspect Busted After Santa Rosa Burglary
March 6, 2015
A New Orleans double murder suspect was arrested Thursday afternoon after breaking into a Santa Rosa Count home.
Authorities said Dwayne Martin enter an occupied home off Munson Highway with a hammer. A short time later, a homeowner took the hammer and the family dog chased Martin off the property. Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office deputies quickly arrived on scene and a K-9 unit began to track the suspect.
Martin was taken into custody and charged with burglary and resisting without violence. He was booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail without bond.
He will face extradition to Louisiana to face charges in the March 3 double murder of his girlfriend and her 8-year old daughter. A third woman was also shot but survived the incident.

@ Rita. Read the law about stand your ground. He was armed with a hammer which can be a deadly weapon. He is in your home uninvited. Dead man can’t talk. I guess you Rita would have be victim number four with this animal on the loose. Wake up!!! I agree with mike. He was lucky he broke into that home because if he got the right on. That murder case would have been closed
these days the homeowner would have been in the WRONG if they had used the “stand your ground” rights–glad he was caught and hope all the people who are always on tv whining about the injustice will cry out for the INJUSTICE done to the victims in New Orleans!!
Hello Angola! Enjoy your stay.
Dam straight…….Mike
Way to go SRSO
All I can say is luck was on this boys side. Had he choose the right house, he wouldn’t have had to wait for extradition.
