July 22, 2019 4:35 pm

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Police say a man has been charged with criminal homicide in the shooting death of an off-duty Pittsburgh police officer more than a week ago.  Commander Victor Joseph of the major crimes unit said Monday the indictment against 30-year-old Christian Bey is sealed, so further details will not be provided. Officials said earlier that Bey was arrested last week on a parole violation.  Thirty-five-year-old Officer Calvin Hall died Wednesday after being shot early July 14 during a street dispute as a party was going on. Officials have said the off-duty officer may have been “acting under the color of law.”  The funeral of the slain officer is scheduled Tuesday.  It was unclear whether Bey had an attorney; a number listed for him was out of service Monday.
