An Apollo man was convicted by a jury of first-degree murder for the shooting death of his wife in 2022.
The Trib reports that the jury took four hours to deliver the verdict against 44-year-old Alfred Steele. He killed his wife by firing a shot in her back at a U-Haul storage facility in Lower Burrell. Alfred Steele claimed he did not intend to kill his wife, but conceded in a confession he gave to police about an hour after the fatal shooting that he was responsible for her death.
Police found Kelly Steele’s body inside the couple’s storage locker, face down and in a pool of blood. Steele faces a mandatory life sentence without parole, and will be formally sentenced in three months.
