Attempted homicide suspect arrested after nighttime search in Brackenridge

BRACKENRIDGE, Pa. (KDKA) — A man wanted for attempted homicide in Westmoreland County was arrested early Monday morning in Brackenridge.

According to court documents, Tarentum police said Iven Miller, 37, was arrested after a late-night search outside the Devil Dog Saloon along 6th Avenue.

Police said the incident began shortly before midnight Sunday evening after receiving a tip that a man inside the bar was wanted for homicide in New Kensington.

Tarentum police then contacted New Kensington police to confirm the information they had received and learned that a Miller was wanted on multiple counts of attempted homicide in connection with an incident that occurred in June 2023.

Officers from several neighboring departments then responded and helped maintain a perimeter around the bar, but Miller left the area in a vehicle belonging to another person.

Officers eventually found Miller in the weeds nearby. He was arrested and turned over to New Kensington police.

Court records show Miller was arraigned before a judge Monday morning.

His bail was denied and he is expected to have a preliminary hearing early next month.
