Investigators say Curry’s alleged killings were random and that there was no known relationship between Curry and his victims.
The victims are believed to be a mother and a daughter who lived at the address and their identities have yet to be released.
The victims’ family has invoked Marsy’s Law, a new statue in Florida that bans police from revealing the identities of victims of violent crime in their public reports.
Police say the were called to a home just before 2am on Monday after Curry ran to a neighbor and asked for help. The neighbor is believed to have dialed 911.
When investigators went inside the home, they found two bodies on the floor, according to an arrest report. The file said Curry allegedly told police that he followed the women to their home.
He reportedly told investigators that he entered the home through a bedroom window and killed his first victim by stabbing her several times in the chest.
Police also say the other woman heard the attack, woke up and came to the defense of Curry’s first victim.
Curry is then alleged to have stabbed the other woman several times in the face and neck.
