Deon Wells, of Pittsburgh, was arrested and charged with criminal homicide. He was in Allegheny County jail awaiting arraignment.

Kennedy police and emergency medical personnel were dispatched to a home on Kenridge Drive about 11:15 and found Maxon wounded and Wells with his hands raised over his head, said the county Police Homicide Unit, which also responded.
