ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pennsylvania (WTAE) — A Pittsburgh man, who police said had been on the run for months, was taken into custody this week after he was found hiding underneath a bed inside an apartment.
In a release from the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, Travell Dean, 31, was declared a fugitive in Sept. 2025 after he failed to appear for trial on a firearms charge. A second bench warrant was issued two months later after he failed to appear for formal arraignment on a separate case involving firearms charges.
Officials said Dean also had an active warrant for escape for failing to return to Renewal after receiving permission to meet with his attorney.
The release said officials obtained information that Dean was staying inside an apartment along Coursin Street in McKeesport.
Police arrived to the apartment around 10 a.m. Saturday and said they heard movement inside after knocking on the door.
Officials were able to gain entry and discovered Dean hiding underneath a bed.
Dean was taken into custody without incident. He was taken to the Allegheny County Jail.
