Pittsburgh, PA – United States Marshal Steve Frank announces
the arrest of Pittsburgh homicide suspect Theodore Smedley earlier this
morning. Detectives with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police teamed up with the
U.S. Marshals Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force (WPAFTF) leading to this
morning’s arrest of Smedley at a residence in Wilkinsburg, PA. Smedley, age 18,
was charged by the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police on April 2, 2014 with Criminal
Homicide, Conspiracy-Criminal Homicide and Carrying a Firearm without a

ground between two parked cars on Goettman Street at approximately 9:30 pm. He
was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics after they attempted to revive
him.
Smedley was arrested without incident at an address in the

turned over to the custody of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Homicide Detectives.
