More tragic news has surfaced in case of former Jets DL Barry Bennett and his wife Carol's death last Wednesday in their Minnesota home. 

It looks like their son, Dylan, is the culprit in the shooting as he was arrested in Cancun, Mexico on Saturday. Being a primary suspect when the news broke last week, he is now being charged with murdering his parents, per The Post's Laura Italiano

The 22-year-old fled to Cancun, but authorities traced him based off his cell phone records and ATM usage on the way. 

The 63-year-old Barry Bennett played for the Jets from 1982-1988 during his 11-year NFL career. He played in 132 games, amassing 18.5 career sacks as a defensive tackle/end. Bennett's best season was in 1985, when he started all 16 games for the Jets and finished the season with 7.5 sacks.
