A Pittsburgh man was awaiting arraignment Saturday morning on homicide charges in connection with a fatal shooting last week in McKees Rocks.

Allegheny County Police said they charged Richard Horne, 28, with the Sept. 14 shooting death of William Hopkins, 34, of Castle Shannon.

Hopkins was found on Ella Street around 10:30 p.m. after being shot several times. He died at Allegheny General Hospital.

Detectives said they learned the shooting happened outside a home there and identified Horne as the suspect through witness statements and surveillance video.

Horne was arrested Friday in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, police said. He is charged with homicide and weapons violations. He did not have an attorney listed in online court records.
