DA Weighing Death Penalty in 2013 Killing Outside Beaver Falls Club

The Beaver County district attorney is mulling whether to pursue the death penalty against a man who just surrendered on charges he killed another man outside a Beaver Falls social club. 44-year-old Eric Washington surrendered Sunday, two days after a new witness statement and video surveillance resulted in him being charged Friday in the September 2013 shooting death of 45-year-old Jerome Goosby and the wounding of another man. District Attorney David Lozier says Washington shot the two men from behind a dollar store after they had left the Brighton Pioneer Elks Lodge across the street. Officials say Washington’s cell phone was found at the scene and a witness reported seeing him there at the time of the crime. Washington remains jailed without bond.
