Authorities are seeking a man in relation to the Sunday homicide of his wife in Gardner, Massachusetts, Fox News reported Monday.

Aaron Pennington, 33, is wanted for questioning after his wife, Breanne “Breezy” Pennington, 30, was found dead inside their Cherry Street residence on Sunday. The Massachusetts Department of Children and Family Services has since taken custody of four children found at the home, according to Fox News.

“He should be considered armed and dangerous,” Gardner police said, per Fox News.

“Police are warning the public not to approach Pennington as he is potentially armed,” Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. noted in a statement on his Facebook page.

The statement describes the suspect as a white male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing approximately 175 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes.

The suspect’s LinkedIn profile indicates employment at Raytheon and prior service in the U.S. Air Force, Fox News reported. However, Raytheon stated that there’s no employee at the company by that name, according to Fox News. (RELATED: 17-Year-Old Charged With Murdering Sister-In-Law And 2 Nephews)

The Pennington family had reportedly recently moved from California to Gardner, where they were in the process of purchasing and renovating a house, according to social media posts, Fox reported.

Law enforcement urges anyone with information regarding Pennington’s location to avoid approaching him and to contact either the Massachusetts State Police or the Gardner Police Department, Fox reported.
