Doctor, Wife Stabbed Multiple Times While Sleeping in Pennsylvania Home, Police Say
- On Thursday shortly after 12:30 a.m., Dr. Idris Evans was killed and his wife critically injured in their Edgewood home; police apprehended suspect 32-year-old Elijah Hemingway shortly after the stabbing.
- Allegheny County Police allege Hemingway entered the home through a back window and attacked the couple while they slept, though their two children were home and escaped unharmed.
- Evans' wife told authorities she did not know Hemingway, though she remembered her husband addressing the attacker as "Elijah"; Hemingway claimed Evans invited him, but authorities found no evidence supporting his account.
- Hemingway faces charges including homicide, aggravated assault, and burglary; neighbor Sandra Trappen described the police response as intense, saying, "If you see one or two police officers, it's a lot, let alone if you wake up and find 20."
- UPMC officials expressed deep sadness over Dr. Idris Evans, a pediatric critical care physician at UPMC Children's Hospital, describing him as a "dedicated caregiver." Anyone with information should call the County Police Tip Line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS.
