Pittsburgh police arrested a man Wednesday in connection with a fatal stabbing in Pittsburgh’s Friendshipneighborhood.

Officers were dispatched to a house in the 200 block of South Aiken Avenue around 8:25 p.m. Tuesday for reports of a man who was found unresponsive and bleeding.

Officers found a man — who officials later identified as Timothy Moran, 62, of Pittsburgh — on the home’s first floor. Medics pronounced him dead when they arrived. Moran’s roommate is in custody with charges pending, police said.

Officers conducted a sweep of the house to search for other victims, and the Mobile Crime Unit processed evidence at the scene.
