BEAVER FALLS — The suspect accused of killing a 22-year-old man in Beaver Falls last week is in custody.
Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier and Beaver Falls Police Chief Dave Johnson held a press conference Friday evening seeking help in locating Patrick Haynes, 23, an eastern Pennsylvania resident accused of killing 22-year-old Latrell Parker of Beaver Falls on Sept. 25.
After releasing Haynes' identity and photo Friday afternoon, Lozier said the man turned himself in to police in the Harrisburg area.
Parker was shot multiple times around 1:15 a.m. in his 1403 Fifth Ave. home. Beaver County Coroner David Gabauer ruled the death a homicide.
A female also was injured during the shooting. She was transported to a Pittsburgh hospital, but is in good condition at this time, according to Lozier.
Two men are accused of shooting and killing Parker. Known as "Big Pun," Joshua Lee Diegdio, 33, of Beaver Falls was arrested in Philadelphia, Lozier said. Diegdio is currently in Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia.
The Crime Solvers of Beaver County had issued an award for assistance in arresting Haynes. Those with information are encouraged to call 724-774-2000 or the Beaver Falls Police Department at 724-846-7000.
Lozier said police are requesting Haynes be transferred back to Beaver County.
No further information was released as the homicide investigation is ongoing.
