Man killed in McKeesport shooting; 17-year-old arrested

MCKEESPORT, Pa. — A 17-year-old is facing charges in a McKeesport shooting where a man was killed.

Allegheny County 911 dispatchers said first responders were called to the 500 block of Lysle Street at 10:53 a.m. on Monday.

Allegheny County police said first responders found a man shot in the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner identified him as Dylan Christopher Saula, 22, of North Versailles.

Police say Daemond Artemus, 17, of McKeesport, was detained shortly after the shooting and is now charged with homicide and firearm violations.

In a criminal complaint, a witness alleges Daemond got into Saula’s vehicle with the intent to buy drugs from him, then shot him and later dumped his body in the street. The witness said he didn’t hear a confrontation between Daemond and Saula before the shooting.

Daemond is being held at the Allegheny County Jail while awaiting arraignment.
