Suspect in UPMC Doctor's Killing Faces New Charges

Investigators say the alleged rape happened about 14 hours before the Edgewood killing, and police recovered items linking Hemingway to both cases.

  • Elijah Hemingway, already charged in the fatal stabbing of Dr. Idris Evans, now faces additional charges of rape, sexual assault, and robbery in a separate Wilkinsburg incident.
  • The sexual assault occurred about 14 hours before the Sept. 24 Edgewood attack, where Hemingway allegedly killed Evans and severely injured his wife, Gina, in their Linden Avenue home.
  • Detectives linked Hemingway to the Wilkinsburg sexual assault after recovering the victim's stolen cellphone and distinctive clothing, matching items worn during the alleged rape.
  • Hemingway remains in the Allegheny County Jail after being denied bail during his Saturday arraignment, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Oct. 9.
  • Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala is reviewing Hemingway's criminal history, including prior arrests in Florida and a pending Pittsburgh burglary case.
