(Pittsburgh, PA) The search for a man who had been on the run in Pittsburgh for nearly half a year came to an end on Saturday morning. According to Allegheny County Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus, 31-year-old Travell Dean was declared a fugitive in September of 2025 after failing to appear for trial on a firearms violation. Two months following that violation, a second bench warrant was issued for the arrest of Dean when he failed to appear for arraignment on another firearms violation. Dean also had an active warrant to escape when he fled after he was granted permission to meet with his attorney. Detectives at the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office learned that Dean had been residing at an apartment on Coursin Street in McKeesport. They went to the apartment to see if Dean was there just before 10 a.m. on Saturday and after knocking on the door, they heard frantic movement inside. Once inside, they found Dean hiding underneath a bed. Dean was taken into custody without incident and is now being housed inside the Allegheny County Jail.
