Western Pa. man charged in shooting death


AMBRIDGE, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania man has been charged with killing another man over what authorities say appears to have been a love triangle.

Authorities in Beaver County charged 25-year-old Terel Dixon of Aliquippa with criminal homicide, recklessly endangering others and a firearms count in Monday night’s shooting death of 45-year-old Kevin Johnson in Ambridge.

Ambridge police said Dixon had been visiting a woman when Johnson arrived and began beating on the front door. They say he eventually forced his way inside, and an argument began that ended in the shooting. Dixon fled but surrendered to authorities on Tuesday morning.

Dixon tearfully told WPXI that he was “very sorry about what happened” but declined to say whether he had committed the crime. He is being held in the Beaver County Jail without bond pending a May 25 preliminary hearing.
