Man Convicted of First-Degree Murder In Shooting Death of Motel Owner

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man has been convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a western Pennsylvania motel owner more than three years ago. Jurors in Allegheny County deliberated for just over two hours before convicting 63-year-old Derrick Gallaway, who now faces a mandatory life prison term without possibility of parole. Seventy-eight-year-old Dehnad Taiedi was shot to death in May 2016 as he worked behind the front desk of the Jefferson Hills Motel.
