Police in Florida say a suspect in the weekend murder of a Canadian man has turned himself into authorities.

Domenico Perruccio, a Canadian resident, was found dead in Hollywood, Fla., at approximately 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning, the Hollywood Police Department said in a news release. His hometown was not immediately known.

Witnesses say they saw a body lying on a curb with multiple stab wounds.

Local media reported that Perruccio was in Hollywood waiting for his wife to arrive from Canada so they could board a cruise ship on Monday. Residents at the Winter Haven Towers, a condominium where Perruccio was staying, said that Perruccio’s wife is now on her way to Florida to identify the body.

Hollywood police said that Twane Dobard, a suspect they had been looking for, turned himself into police around 9 p.m. Monday evening.

Hollywood is about 30 kilometres north of Miami and just a five minute drive from Hallandale Beach, where two Canadians were murdered last year.

Rochelle Wise, 66, and her husband, 71-year-old David Pichosky, were found dead in their home in early January 2013. Hallandale police said the couple died as a result of asphyxiation. The case is still active and police are looking for two female suspects.

The Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Monday that “it is aware of the death of a Canadian citizen in Florida,” and that “Canadian consular officials are in contact with local authorities and stand ready to provide consular services.”
