BELLEROSE, Queens (WABC) -- The search for 42-year-old Jamel McGriff continues Wednesday after police say he killed an elderly Queens couple before setting their home on fire on Monday.

The NYPD released a new photo of the suspect wanted in the "horrific double homicide" that has left the Bellerose neighborhood -- and the city -- in shock.

Police released an updated photo of the suspect early Wednesday morning.

Police say McGriff set Frank and Maureen Olton, 76 and 77 years old, on fire after spending five hours inside their home.

Officers say he was seen on video Tuesday pawning two cellphones in the Bronx.

McGriff, described by police as a career criminal, is a level 3 sex offender with a lengthy criminal record stretching 30 years. He was released from prison in 2023.
