Elijah Hemingway Charged in 46-Year-Old Doctor's Killing After No-Bail Release

Seven new charges — including criminal homicide, aggravated assault, burglary and trespassing — were filed against 32-year-old Elijah Hemingway in the fatal stabbing of Pittsburgh pediatrician Dr. Idris Evans.
Court records show Hemingway had been released without bail in July on a separate burglary case, after an arrest tied to a February break-in.
Investigators say Hemingway broke into the Edgewood home around 12:30 a.m.; Evans, 46, died at a hospital and his wife remained in stable condition.
The wife told police the couple woke to a man attacking them in bed with a kitchen knife, and said Evans called the attacker "Elijah" as if he knew him.
The killing of Evans — a UPMC Children's Hospital physician and University of Pittsburgh assistant professor — leaves open questions about any prior connection and how the earlier release may draw scrutiny.
