A spokesperson for the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office said Kaiwan Montgomery, 30, was wanted by Connellsville police on several charges, including attempted homicide and aggravated assault. Police say these charges stem from a May 22 shooting along North Pittsburgh Street in Connellsville, where a man was shot multiple times.
