HARMAR TOWNSHIP (KDKA) – The son of a couple who was found shot to death in West Deer this week has been located.

According to Allegheny County Police, 52-year-old James Yeckel Jr. was located near the intersection of Freeport Road and Route 910 in Harmar Township early Saturday morning.

Yeckel is facing charges of criminal mischief. Police say the charge is unrelated to the deaths of his parents.

On Friday, police released four photos showing him at different establishments in the Harmar Township area including a couple of convenience stores near the intersection of Route 910 and Freeport Road.

Several guns were pulled out of the home Thursday and one of them may have been the murder weapon.

Yeckel is currently in the Allegheny County Jail.

Call him a suspect and get it over with. A few days ago they were saying he wasn’t even a “person of interest”, that they just wanted to talk to him…yet they’re using helicopters to find him!?!? C’mon, if you’re treating him like a suspect then call him that. If he’s in police custody call it like it is. He’s a suspect!

I live and work in the area and you don’t have helicopters searching for “a person of interest”…Captain Crazy here killed mom n dad let’s be real folks.

Sgt Friday

He escaped on a bike, do you really need a helicopter to track down a 53 year old man on a bike?

really the police need to get their act together before they accuse any person of wrong doing collect all the evidence and profile before they jump the gun.

KD can’t keep up with the comments they want to delete, it takes a full time paid employee to censor the comments about blacks, idiot reporters and stupid politicians. KDKA can’t afford to pay
