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.
According to police, 28-year-old Nandi Fitzgerald, 28-year-old Tatiana "Tay" Hill and Fitzgerald's son, 16-year-old Denzel "Buddy" Nowlin, were found shot dead in a home on the 7500 block of Hamilton Avenue that day.
Ms. Fitzgerald was believed to be Steave’s ex-girlfriend.
Security footage linked a vehicle that fled the scene to Steave through its registration.
Steave was arrested in McKeesport and charged with three counts of criminal homicide and two firearms charges.
District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala’s office said Thursday it would seek the death penalty for Steave.
He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
