A Wilkinsburg man who police say killed a man in Sharpsburg faces gun charges, but was not charged with the death.

Norman Warren, 22, will be charged with tampering with evidence and illegally carrying a gun for his role in the death early Tuesday of Marlon Roberts, Allegheny County Police said.

Police said Roberts, 22, of Lincoln-Lemington came to the Sisca Street home of a former girlfriend Monday night and threatened and assaulted Warren, her boyfriend, with a pistol. Warren disarmed Roberts and shot him with the gun before fleeing, police said. Roberts died at Allegheny General Hospital in the North Side.

The woman was home with Roberts' 2-year-old son at the time of the shooting, Sharpsburg police said. Chief Leo Rudzki said that on his way to the scene, he saw Warren and arrested him. Warren hid the gun, but police found it in bushes in Kennedy Park, Rudzki said.
