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. 

Police say that Francken was taken into custody on Wednesday by Allegheny County Police officers along with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. 

Francken is facing multiple charges including criminal homicide and is being held in the Allegheny County Jail. 

According to court records, Francken has yet to be arraigned and a preliminary hearing date has not been set yet. 

NORTH APOLLO, Pa. (KDKA) — The North Apollo community is grieving the loss of a nurse who lost her life while hiking at a national park in Montana over the weekend. 

Twenty-six-year-old Gillian Tones was visiting Glacier National Park in Montana with her boyfriend on Sunday when the National Parks Service said she slipped on wet, slick rocks and fell into a creek. 

A spokesperson said Tones was “quickly swept up by the cold, fast moving water and went over a series of smaller waterfalls, then was pinned underwater by a log for several minutes until heroic efforts by other park visitors lead to pulling her from the river.”

Tones was an Apollo-Ridge High School graduate in 2015 before attending Westmoreland Community College for nursing.

Her family told KDKA-TV on Wednesday that Tones was a traveling nurse who was working at West Penn Hospital before her trip.

“She was an avid hiker and loved being outdoors and experiencing nature,” her brother Dillon Tones said. “Words can’t describe her. She was passionate and loved deeply.”

Her family said they’re thankful for those who risked their lives trying to save her, including her boyfriend Dominic.

“She knew how fragile life was and I think she’s happy with the life she lived,” Dillon Tones said.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
