An 83-year-old Penn Hills man was charged with homicide yesterday in the fatal shooting of his stepson during a domestic dispute at their home Friday night.

John A. Latimer, of Lisa Drive, is being held without bond in the Allegheny County Jail pending a preliminary hearing August 20.

He is charged in the shooting of Roy C. Wright, 62, also of Lisa Drive, who was pronounced dead in the home at 11:40 p.m. Friday.

The incident began when Mr. Wright borrowed Mr. Latimer's car to take his daughters to the Steelers' preseason game, according to court papers filed by Allegheny County Police.

But instead of staying with them, Mr. Wright dropped them off and returned home. Mr. Latimer and his wife confronted Mr. Wright about leaving his daughters after they called to complain.

According to an affidavit filed by police, Mr. Wright became enraged and ended up fighting with Mr. Latimer's nephew and threatening family members.

Mr. Latimer told police he retrieved a .32 caliber revolver from his upstairs bedroom and returned downstairs. Mr. Wright began walking upstairs but turned around and headed for Mr. Latimer, threatening to kill everybody, according to the affidavit. Mr. Latimer told police he shot Mr. Wright once after the victim said, "You better shoot me or I'm gonna kill you."
