On November 13, 2017, 29-year-old Dawayne Robin Klingensmith and 22-year-old Heather Swiklinski were found shot to death in their Parks Township, Pennsylvania home. A family member discovered the couple; Swiklinski’s 17-month-old son was found alive and unharmed in his crib. Investigators reported multiple weapons had been used and initially treated the double homicide as drug-related. Two weeks before the killings the couple had reportedly been assaulted during a break-in at the same residence.

Authorities later charged a man named George Peace with evidence tampering, alleging he was told to dispose of a handgun linked to the slayings; he was released pending further action. In February 2020 police arrested Kevin Lamont Ware in Washington, D.C., charging him with criminal homicide, robbery, burglary and related counts. Court documents say witness testimony placed Ware at the house that day, including a statement that Ware pushed into the home with a pistol and later confessed to shooting Klingensmith. Ware was awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania to face the charges.

Does anyone have information about Klingensmith, Swiklinski, or the events around November 13, 2017?
