Victim ID’d, another arrested after shooting near station
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Authorities have identified a man fatally shot in a car near a Pittsburgh police station and another man police arrested because they say he interfered at the crime scene.
The dead man is 20-year-ol Christopher Richardson.
Police say officers at the city’s Zone 2 station responded to gunshots and found a bullet-riddled vehicle and three occupants running away from it. Richardson was one of those men. His autopsy is Monday.
During the investigation 21-year-old Aaron Myrick tried to enter the taped-off crime scene, ignored officers’ commands to stay back and knocked one officer to the ground. Police spokeswoman Sonya Toler says the man was hit with a stun gun and arrested.
Online court records don’t list an attorney for him, but show he’s charged with aggravated assault, obstructing police and other charges.
