(Beaver County, Pa.) Crime Solvers of Beaver County and the PA Crime Stoppers are offering a combined reward total of $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in the 2016 homicide of SJAVANTE GILLIAM.  On June 1, 2016, at 5:42am, officers of the Aliquippa Police Department responded to the 2100 block of McMinn Street for reports of a male subject down on sidewalk.  Upon their arrival officers found the victim deceased with a gunshot wound to the head.  The subject was identified as 28-year-old Sjavante Gilliam, a decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former star of the Aliquippa Quips football team. The Beaver County Detective Bureau was called to assist in the investigation and the area was searched. Gilliam’s vehicle, a 2016 Ford Taurus, bearing Pennsylvania Registration KBG8805, was located in the 2100 block of McMinn Street that morning.   Gilliam was last seen in the area of the Main Street Bar around 12:30 am approximately 5 hours prior to the discovery of his body. Questioning of the neighbors surrounding the scene by the investigators offered no immediate witnesses and the crime remains unsolved. Hoping to solve the case and bring justice for Gilliam’s family after six years, the Beaver County Crime Solvers will temporarily match the PA Crime Stoppers reward for any information leading to an arrest this week. The increased reward will be available from June 3-10, making those with information eligible for a $10,000 reward. After June 10, the Crime Solvers extra reward will expire and callers will only receive the $5,000 from the PA Crime Stoppers. Any persons with information on this incident are asked to anonymously contact the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers Toll Free at 1-800-4PA-TIPS (8477) or Crime Solvers at 724-774-2000 or online at https://www.p3tips.com/tipform.aspx?ID=107  All callers to Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers remain anonymous and could be eligible for a CASH REWARD for information that leads to an arrest, the solving of a crime/cold case or the location of a wanted person/fugitive or missing person. All information is accurate as of Release Date and is subject to change or updated.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania is recovering from a stroke and now says he almost died from it after ignoring warning signs for years and a doctor’s advice to take blood thinners. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman spoke in a statement released by his campaign Friday. He has remained out of public view as he recovers ahead of the fall general election in what is expected to be one of the nation’s premier Senate contests. Fetterman’s cardiologist also disclosed that he has cardiomyopathy. Fetterman easily won the Democratic nomination in a four-way race while in the hospital four days after the stroke.
