PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A man was found fatally stabbed along the Montour Trail in Moon Township on Monday, authorities said.

The Allegheny County Police Department said in a news release on Monday that officers were called to the trail near the 1900 block of Hassam Road around 3 p.m. for reports of an injured man. At the scene, first responders found a 44-year-old man who was stabbed. 

He was taken to a local hospital, where he died. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man as Benjamin Brallier of Coraopolis. 

Sources told KDKA-TV’s Jennifer Borrasso that Pennsylvania State Police took a suspect into custody in connection with the fatal stabbing. Sources said a tip came in about a suspicious man walking out of the woods not far from where the victim was found and the man was detained. 

The identity of the man taken into custody was not immediately known.

Commanders sign athletic former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback


The Washington Commanders have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Rush to a reserve/future contract, the team announced.

Rush joined Washington in August after he was released by the Cleveland Browns, and spent the entire season with the team. Now, he will get a chance to showcase what he can do in the offseason and make a roster push.

Rush was also previously with the Kansas City Chiefs, but was waived/injured at the beginning of training camp.

The Steelers released Rush in last October, freeing him up to become a member of the Chiefs. He initially made the active roster, but after a rough preseason, the team went in another direction to locate some help, which they found in James Pierre.

Rush, a 2023 fourth-round pick out of South Carolina by the Indianapolis Colts, was cut by the Colts out of training camp. The Chiefs proceeded to claim Rush off waivers following his release, before the Steelers then signed him weeks later in 2023.

With Pittsburgh, Rush took on the role of dimebacker against the Tennessee Titans a season ago, playing 21 snaps in his NFL regular-season debut. He would win a starting gunner role to start the year in Pittsburgh, but not hold onto it after pressure from Pierre.
