Two Pittsburgh residents pleaded guilty Friday to their role in a drive-by shooting more than two years ago in Arnold.
The incident ended with a high-speed chase through part of the Alle-Kiski Valley and a collision with a police vehicle.
Tishan Lowe Jr., 33 and Imani Patterson, 27, were charged in connection were charged with 10 counts each in connection with the Oct. 17, 2022 shooting and subsequent chase.
According to court records, surveillance video showed Lowe and Patterson get out of a sport utility vehicle on Kenneth Avenue around 11:30 a.m. and fire multiple shots at two passengers in another vehicle as it drove by.
Officers said they heard the shots fired and followed a speeding vehicle through Arnold and into New Kensington, East Deer, Tarentum, Brackenridge and Harrison’s Natrona neighborhood at speeds that at times exceeded 100 mph.
Police said the vehicle swerved through traffic before spike strips were deployed to halt the chase and ultimately caused the suspects to crash into a New Kensington police vehicle.
Lowe was captured as he attempted to hide in the vehicle’s back seat. Police said Patterson was found in the vehicle lying under a blanket. A third person, the driver, fled from the scene, police said.
Police said no injuries were reported as a result of the shooting.
Both Lowe and Patterson pleaded guilty to multiple felony counts, including three charges of aggravated assault, conspiracy, weapons offenses, tamping with evidence and reckless endangerment.
Prosecutors dismissed two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Mears said Lowe and Patterson face sentences of up to 20 years in prison for the aggravated assault and conspiracy convictions. Both have been in jail since their arrest and will be sentenced in about three months, the judge said.
