Pittsburgh police have arrested Devon Thompson, 37, of McKees Rocks in connection with last months’ shooting death of 1-year-old Zykier Young.
Thompson was one of three men allegedly involved in the Aug. 24 shootout on Rhine Place in the city’s Spring Hill neighborhood.
He turned himself into police Tuesday on charges of criminal homicide, criminal attempted homicide, aggravated assault and carrying firearms without a license.
The other two suspects, Andre Crawford, 29, of McKeesport and Marvin Hill, 41 of McKees Rocks have been in police custody since early this month.
Zykier Young was laying with his mother in their apartment’s bedroom. He was killed by a stray bullet.
Officers say they do not know who filed the fatal shot.
Police say they were were able to identify Thompson, Crawford and Hill from surveillance footage.
