Woman charged with homicide in Carrick shooting

Pittsburgh police have charged a woman with homicide for a fatal shooting in Pittsburgh's Carrick neighborhood Thursday morning.

Breanna Didolce, 23, of Pittsburgh, was charged Thursday with criminal homicide and tampering with evidence for allegedly hiding the gun used, police said.

Police alleged Didolce shot Jeremiah Anger around 11:45 a.m. Thursday at a residence on Wynoka Street at Brownsville Road in Carrick, according to a criminal complaint.

Pittsburgh Public Safety told news partner TribLive WTAE that Anger called 911 to say he had been shot and when first responders arrived, he was found on the first floor of a home with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Officials described the residence as a rental home with several private rooms and a common area.

Anger was taken to hospital in critical condition. He later died at the hospital, police said.

Didolce told police she shot Anger, according to the criminal complaint. She said she shared a child with Anger and he threatened to throw her down the stairs.

Didolce was transported to the Allegheny County Jail.
