Beaver Falls homicide suspect captured by U.S. Marshals
Daniel Felo, the man accused by police in connection to a December homicide in Beaver Falls, was taken into custody Thursday in Connellsville by U.S. Marshals.
The charges against Felo, 37, stem from a Dec. 30 incident, in which 48-year-old Eric Mason was found dead in Beaver Falls.
On Thursday, the U.S. Marshals Task Force members, and the Beaver Falls and Connellsville police departments, arrested Felo without incident at the 500 block of North Pittsburgh Street in Connellsville, the U.S. Marshals said.
According to a criminal complaint, Mason’s body was found wrapped in tarps and tied with extension cords in an abandoned building in Beaver Falls. He was shot in the back of the head.
A witness told authorities they overheard Felo talking about Mason and how he was going to kill him, the complaint said. Another person told police Felo spoke with them about shooting Mason and then demonstrated how he fell after being shot.
