2 Arrested In Connection With Christmas Eve Homewood Murder
Update: Charges have since been dropped.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP) - Police have arrested two suspects in the fatal Christmas Eve shooting near a Pittsburgh home where a sexual assault attempt was reported hours earlier.
This morning, police arrested 19-year-old Mark Coleman at a home in Allentown.
He was arrested without incident and transported to Pittsburgh Police Headquarters on the North Side.
KDKA-TV was the only station there when he was walked into the police station.
On Tuesday, Ronald Steave was arraigned on charges of homicide, conspiracy to commit criminal homicide, abuse of a corpse and carrying an unlicensed firearm.
The 22-year-old Steave is jailed without bail. Online court records didn't list information on a lawyer to comment on the charges.
Police said 23-year-old Devin Jackson's body was found in a wooded area off an alley in the city's Homewood section.
Officers had responded to an attempted sexual assault on a 16-year-old girl and a 6-year-old about nine hours earlier.
Police say Jackson was involved in an incident in the home but wouldn't say if he was suspected of attempting sexual assault.
