A woman and her 9-year-old daughter were found dead in their Roselle, New Jersey, home on Thursday, CBS New York reported.
Family members said Keisha Morrison and her daughter Kelsey were bludgeoned to death inside their home and were discovered dead by police inside the girl's room.
Family members said the suspect, who sources told CBS New York was arrested out of state, was at the house when police arrived. Somehow, he got into the victim's car and dropped it off around the corner.
