MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Miami-Dade police have made an arrest in connection with the murder of two women in Northwest Miami.

Police said the 'brutal' double murder took place at approximately 2 a.m. on Monday, September 2nd, in the 7000 block of NW 8th Court.

Detectives say Kerry Rossin, 27, was engaged in a violent dispute with one of the women and ended up beating and stabbing her to death.

The arrest report then says that Rossin encountered a second victim while fleeing the scene.
