Edward Baker Jr. admitted on the witness stand to killing 30-year-old Addaleigh Huzyak in her Beaver home. The Beaver County coroner said she died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Prosecutors claim Baker, who was arrested in Kentucky after fleeing, planned the murder. They said he was angry that Huzyak broke up with him.
