A man wanted on homicide charges for a fatal shooting on Warrington Avenue was arrested on Thursday afternoon.

Clayton Thompson of Brentwood was killed in the shooting at Longo's Bank Café in Pittsburgh's Allentown neighborhood on Sunday. Another shooting victim was found injured on nearby Industry Street and later underwent surgery at a hospital, police said.

"We understand that there may have been a verbal altercation prior to the shooting," Pittsburgh police Cmdr. Tom Stangrecki said. "Two people re-entered the bar, one had a bandana on. That's when the shooting occurred."

Police obtained an arrest warrant for 24-year-old Adrial Russell. On Thursday officers tracked Russell to an apartment on Kingsboro Street in Mt. Washington.

Russell is facing charges of criminal homicide, aggravated assault, carrying a firearm without a license and criminal conspiracy in connection with the shooting.
