Allegheny County Police took a homicide suspect from Altoona into custody Wednesday after he suffered serious injuries jumping from the second floor of a Pittsburgh International Airport parking garage.

Officers responded around 8 a.m. to a report of a jumper, later identified as Joshua Leyo, 30, police spokesman Jim Madalinsky said Thursday.

Leyo was taken to the hospital. His condition was not available Thursday.

Altoona police Wednesday charged Leyo with murder, aggravated assault and other crimes in connection with an incident a day earlier.

County police were working Thursday to extradite Leyo back to Blair County.
