A man accused of shooting his wife and leaving her on a Pittsburgh highway ramp has been arrested.
Detectives arrested 37-year-old Kevin Crew on Saturday.
Crew was suspected of shooting his wife in the leg during an argument as they were driving on the exit ramp of I-579 to Boulevard of the Allies on Nov. 28. Police say Crew got into the driver’s seat and drove off after the woman pulled over and got out of the vehicle.
A tipster told police Crew was in an apartment on the 7000 block of Apple Street in Pittsburgh. Detectives went to the apartment at around 11:00 a.m. Crew was not there but they spoke with his current girlfriend, Chelsey McIntosh. During questioning, she told police she had been arranging different locations where Crew could stay.
Crew was found shortly after in a vacant neighboring apartment.
Police say Crew was taken into custody without incident.
A handgun was also found during the arrest.
“I commend my detectives and personnel for swiftly acting on the information they developed today leading to the apprehension of this dangerous individual,” said Sheriff Kevin Kraus. “The actions of this defendant represented a clear threat to the victim and the public.”
Crew will also be charged with a person not to possess a firearm.
McIntosh will be charged with hindering apprehension.
