A third suspect has been arrested in the shooting on Pittsburgh’s North Side last month that killed three people, including a woman with Homer City connections.
Reports say 30-year-old Samuel Pegues now faces charges of criminal homicide, aggravated assault, firearm possession violations, carrying a firearm without a license, and criminal conspiracy in connection with the October 15th shooting on Cedar Avenue in Pittsburgh. Police say that Pegues shot and killed John Hornezes, who police are saying was also shooting a gun that night. Police have not accused Pegues with the shooting deaths of Jacquelyn Mehalic, who has family in Homer City, and Betty Averett. The two were deemed “innocent bystanders” by police as they were waiting for a bus at the time of the shooting.
The other two suspects are 21-year-old Jaylone Hines and 19-year-old Charron Troutman, who were arrested yesterday. Both are currently in Allegheny County Jail.
