BRENTWOOD, Pa. (AP) - Allegheny County police have arrested a man they say killed one man and wounded another while both were in a car in the Pittsburgh suburbs.

The suspect, 28-year-old Daevon Plowden, was in custody Thursday awaiting arraignment on charges including criminal homicide and aggravated assault.

Police say he fatally shot 26-year-old Tamar Taylor, of Munhall, and wounded another man in Brentwood. That happened about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday.

Police say Taylor was shot multiple times. The other victim was taken to a hospital with a lower body wound that is not life-threatening.

Court papers that spell out a motive and chain of events were not immediately available.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for Plowden.

This story has been corrected to say that the victims were shot in car, not a home.
