PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Police have arrested a man accused of shooting and killing another man outside of a bar in Braddock Hills earlier this month. 

Allegheny County Police say investigators determined that 23-year-old Abdullaah Francken, of Washington, Pa. was responsible for the shooting and killing of 24-year-old William Coffey on June 7. 

Coffey was shot multiple times outside of J Cats Bar & Grill, also known as the Steel Towne Inn that’s located along Wilkins Avenue.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Pittsburgh Steelers get injury updates on five players, including ascending pass rusher


The Pittsburgh Steelers got some injury updates on Tuesday courtesy of head coach Mike Tomlin, with the most promising one being that pass rusher Nick Herbig should return this week against the Cleveland Browns.

Herbig suffered a hamstring injury against the Miami Dolphins and practiced late last week but could not make the final push to suit up against the Lions.

Meanwhile, four other players are working through soft tissue injuries as well. Cornerback James Pierre has a calf issue that has kept him out of the last two games, but he went through a workout on Tuesday and that could get him back on the practice field.

Tomlin seemed optimistic that Pierre would return to practice this week. He did not give the same level of optimism to guard Isaac Seumalo, who is still battling through a triceps injury.

Seumalo missed last week after not practicing, and could be out for another game if he can not practice. Spencer Anderson, his backup, will be limited after getting banged-up against the Lions.

Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has a hamstring strain that Tomlin said will leave as questionable this week, and will likely limit him early in the practice week. The same can be said for slot cornerback Brandin Echols, who is battling a groin injury.
