ALIQUIPPA, Pa. -- Police charged a Beaver County man with fatally shooting his romantic rival after the victim identified the alleged shooter before having emergency surgery.

Aliquippa police said Markez Priest, 21, shot Darius Odom, 21, early Thursday.

Police said Odom was shot in the back of the head and the arm along Todd Street, where he was found laying.

Priest is charged with criminal homicide.
