Pittsburgh police have arrested a 40-year-old man in connection with an Oct. 1 homicide in the city’s Elliott neighborhood.

Donte Brewer, of Pittsburgh, was apprehended Wednesday by Pittsburgh police and U.S. Marshalls Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force in the shooting death of Carrington Keys, 41, in Elliott. He is charged with criminal homicide, tampering with evidence and firearms violations, police said.

Brewer is in the Allegheny County Jail.

Keys, of Pittsburgh, died after the shooting from gunshot wounds to the head at Allegheny General Hospital, according to the Allegheny County medical examiner’s office.

Brewer previously was convicted of murder of the third degree and sentenced to 12 to 24 years in prison, court records show.

The Tribune-Review reported in 2002 that Brewer was arrested in the shooting deaths of two men in Sheraden.

Pittsburgh Police charged Brewer, then 20, with two counts of criminal homicide in the deaths of Jamell Turner, 18, of Crafton Heights, and Charles “Chuckie” Lane, 19, of Fairywood.
