Suspect in 3 slayings says he ‘messed up’

AUSTINTOWN

Authorities in south-central Pennsylvania say a man arrested in Austintown and charged in the shooting deaths of his estranged wife, her boyfriend and the boyfriend’s mother admits he’d “messed up.”

Kevin Cleeves, 35, is charged with three counts of criminal homicide in the Friday night deaths of 25-year-old Brandi Cleeves, 28-year-old Vincent Santucci and 55-year-old Rosemary Holma. He is in Mahoning County jail facing an extradition hearing today.

Pennsylvania State Police say Cleeves went to Santucci’s house to confront his estranged wife about custody arrangements and was asked to leave but instead opened fire. He then took the girl and fled.

He was arrested at the Weston Plaza at state Route 46 and Mahoning Avenue in Austintown. The girl is safe.
