According to a release, U.S. Marshals in western Pa. were tipped off that Parker was staying in Chicago, so the local U.S. Marshals task force there began investigating.

Parker was seen leaving a home in the 100 block of West 12th Street in Chicago, and authorities were able to take her into custody without incident. She faces charges of homicide, criminal conspiracy and carrying a firearm without a license.

Police said around 1:41 a.m. on June 18, 911 was called about a shooting in the 500 block of 5th Avenue in McKeesport. Ericka J. Stevens, 29, was found dead from a gunshot wound in a vehicle in a parking lot across the street from the bar.

Before the shooting, police said three other women and two men started throwing punches and pulling hair and the fight escalated in the parking lot. Investigators said cell phone footage of the fight and video from nearby security cameras were being used to find out what happened.

The manager at that bar told Channel 11 they have no comment at this time.
