One of two brothers charged in a suspected mid-October shootout in Harrison was arrested Monday morning.
Arrested was Troy Vickers, 30, of Tarentum. A felony arrest warrant is still active for his brother, 19-year-old Brian Vickers, also of Tarentum.
Troy Vickers was arrested by the U.S. Marshal Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force, working with police from Pittsburgh, Tarentum and Allegheny County.
According to Allegheny County Police detectives, the brothers entered a Park Avenue apartment around 1 a.m. on Oct. 13, firing several rounds into the residence. Two people inside the home, who were in legal possession of guns and had concealed-carry permits, returned fire, police said.
No one appeared to have been injured.
Both Vickers brothers were charged with criminal conspiracy, attempted homicide, aggravated assault, reckless endangering, burglary, conspiracy and firearms violations.
Troy Vickers was taken to the Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh, and is scheduled for a Dec. 14 preliminary hearing in District Judge Carolyn Bengel’s Brackenridge court.
