Man on trial in 2014 murder of woman, wounding of her mother
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man on trial in western Pennsylvania is accused of having killed a woman more than four years ago to keep her from talking to federal prosecutors about what they allege was his New Jersey-supplied heroin ring.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that federal prosecutors accuse Price Montgomery of the August 2014 slaying of 34-year-old Tina Crawford and wounding of her 63-year-old mother in Pittsburgh.
Wiretapped calls played for jurors Friday indicate that the defendant and victim talked regularly and traveled to Newark, New Jersey, where agents allege they brought heroin.
