"Person of interest" sought in Worcester double homicide

WORCESTER - Worcester police are searching for a man they say may have been involved in a double homicide.

Police found two women stabbed to death at an apartment on Main Street on Saturday afternoon. The victims have been identified by family as Ana Maria Marinez and Sergia Acosta.

Police say that 59-year-old William Rodriguez is a person of interest in the case. He is described as a Hispanic man with gray hair and brown eyes. He is 6'2" and weighs 180 pounds.

In a statement, the grandchild and niece of the victims said Rodriguez was a friend of her aunt. "I want justice to be served and for them to catch this man so that he doesn't hurt another family," she said.

Police say Rodriquez may be armed and dangerous. Anyone with information is asked to call the Worcester Police Department.
