Iroquois Alston, one of two people discovered dead Saturday in the Golden Hill neighborhood of Norwalk, was a parolee who had been released from state prison on May 16, according to the Connecticut Department of Correction.

He had been under supervised parole since then.

Alston's parole officer in Bridgeport was not permitted to release any information about him. A request for information about Alston from the Department of Correction public information officer was not immediately answered.

Before his release, Alston was serving an eight-year sentence for first-degree armed robbery, criminal possession of a firearm, and first-degree larceny. He was arrrested June 24, 2004, by Bridgeport Police and sentenced on Oct. 10, 2004.

Both Alston and Rickita Smalls were to be autopsied Monday at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Farmington. A spokesman there said that at this time the office would release no information.
