The Westmoreland County coroner was called to the scene. The victim was identified as 49-year-old Boyke Budiarachman.

"At this point, I really don't want to make too much of a comment about the investigation because we just had some recent information come in, especially [about] the investigation itself," said Chief John Christner.

One person is in custody, the Westmoreland County District Attorney's office said.

The "investigation indicates this was an isolated, targeted attack on the victim," the DA's office said in a statement.
