Fugitive Caught After Six Months on the Run
1 Mar
Summary
- Fugitive found hiding under a bed after six months on the run.
- Arrested for firearms violations and failing to appear in court.
- Captured in McKeesport after a sheriff's office investigation.
Travell Dean, a 31-year-old man who had been on the run for nearly six months, was apprehended on Saturday morning. Dean became a fugitive in September 2025 after failing to appear for his trial on a firearms violation. His legal troubles deepened two months later when a second bench warrant was issued for his arrest due to another missed court appearance for arraignment on a separate firearms violation.
Detectives from the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office located Dean at an apartment on Coursin Street in McKeesport. Responding to a tip, they visited the residence around 10 a.m. on Saturday. Upon knocking, officers heard movement inside and subsequently found Dean concealed beneath a bed. He was taken into custody without incident and is now being held at the Allegheny County Jail.
