BROCKWAY, Pa.—A suspect has been arrested in the murders of a western Pennsylvania couple found shot in their basement two months ago.
James and Victoria Shugar, both 61, were found fatally shot April 12 inside their home in Snyder Township, about 85 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
On Friday, authorities announced they were arresting 45-year-old Steven Patrick Repert, of Emporium.
Repert is charged with homicide and related counts. Authorities did not comment on an alleged motive.
Jefferson County District Attorney Jeffrey Burkett says Repert was arraigned Friday evening and would be committed to Jefferson County jail without bail.
It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
