Indiana Borough police announced Monday that three of four suspects in the fatal shooting of a Pittsburgh man are in custody.

Police say Jayden Wright, 20, was found shot in a parking lot on Oakland Avenue in Indiana about 4 a.m. Oct. 17. He died at Indiana Regional Medical Center. Wright was a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

A third suspect, Isaiah A. Moore, 20, of Philadelphia, was arrested over the weekend by state police in Philadelphia and was returned to Indiana. He was arraigned before Blairsville District Judge Robert Bell ordered held in the county jail without bond on charges of homicide, robbery and theft.

Also charged and in custody are Delmar L. Chatman, 21, of Johnstown, and Isabella Edmonds, 17, of Indiana, police said. Edmonds is charged as an adult.

They are being held without bond in the county jail on identical charges.

Police said they are still looking for Terrion Gates, 18, of Johnstown, on homicide, robbery and theft charges.

Anyone with information on Gates is asked to call borough police at 724-349-2121.

Police said in a statement that the group “conspired to acquire a quantity of marijuana from Mr. Wright — with that encounter leading to his homicide in the parking lot.”

“All four suspects fled the area on foot immediately after Mr. Wright was shot with Isabella Edmonds being located several hours later walking along Oakland Avenue in Indiana Borough.”

Chatman turned himself in Oct. 18, according to court dockets.

An Oakland Avenue apartment was searched during the investigation, police said. A vehicle was also seized and video surveillance was recovered.
