Boca Raton police gave an update Monday on the double homicide that took place at 365 North Ocean Boulevard on Friday.
“Homicide and violence in our city are so rare,” said Mayor Scott Singer, who gave credit to deputies for assisting in the arrest of 30-year-old suspect De’Vante Moss in Georgia on Saturday.
Boca Raton Police Chief Michele Miuccio said at Monday’s press conference that the name of a third victim, a witness, was not released yet. The name of the one deceased male was released: Christopher Liszak, 49, of Oakland Park . On Monday afternoon, Boca Raton police released the name of the deceased female: Chandler Dill, 32, of Oakland Park.
Miuccio said the female victim, 32, had rented a room at the extended stay hotel at 365 N. Ocean Blvd., but was not a Boca Raton resident. Moss, of Boynton Beach, was in the room with her.
