District attorney to seek death penalty for Homewood triple homicide suspect

Prosecutors will seek the death penalty for a suspect in a triple homicide in Homewood, the state District Attorney’s office said on Thursday. 

Ronald Steave, 29, was arrested in March for the killings, which claimed the lives of two 28-year-old women and a 16-year-old boy on New Year’s Eve last year.

Steave is set to be formally arraigned on Friday.
