Valcin reportedly turned himself in on Wednesday at the Pittsburgh Municipal Court. He’s being held at the Allegheny County Jail.
At 8:25 p.m. Jan 4, police found 19-year-old Dorrel Ferguson dead on the sidewalk in the 1000 block of Ross Avenue. Court records show Ferguson was shot once in the neck.
“I was watching the Steelers game and I heard a gunshot. It was wintertime. I looked outside and the kid was lying there dead,” a neighbor told Channel 11.
He remembers the night Dorrel Ferguson was murdered.
