A man charged in the fatal shooting of his brother outside of the New Kensington Elks Lodge is now in custody.
Investigators say that Steffon Ballard and his brother, Jeffrey Ballard, were involved in a fight with a third man early last Saturday morning when Steffon pulled a gun and hit the other man with it. The weapon went off at that time, with the bullet striking Jeffrey Ballard in the upper thigh, according to officials.
Jeffrey was taken to a local hospital, where he reportedly died from excessive blood loss. Steffon Ballard surrendered to police on Thursday.
