Pittsburgh-Area Love Triangle Turns Deadly: Police

PITTSBURGH, PA — A man is charged with homicide after a fatal shooting Sunday night of another man in a dispute over a woman, police said.

Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Rocco Gagliardi said during a news conference Monday that police responded to a home on Walnut Street in Ellsworth, Washington County, after reports of shots fired inside a home.

First responders found Elijah Thomas Johnson, 21, of Carnegie, with a gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Arrested was Christopher Harper, 18, of Ellsworth.

Gagliardi said that Johnson and Harper knew each other in "some sort of relation," saying that the incident appeared to have become "more of a romantic relation with a third party involved."

Further information was not immediately available.
