Two men were killed last month because they wouldn't pay strippers hired for a Penn Hills house party, according to information released by police as they announced charges against four people.
One of the people arrested today, Geneva Burrell, 27, of Swissvale, was the manager for herself and two other women hired to perform Feb. 20 at a house in the 8600 block of Westwood Road, according to an affidavit filed by Allegheny County police.
The clients balked at paying $200 because one of the dancers did not have a large chest, the document stated.
Chaoe Davis and T.C. Lyerly were shot and killed. A third man was wounded.
Police were to release more details at a press conference today.
Police said they have made three arrests, including Burrell, and are searching for a fourth suspect.
