Authorities say Eric Washington was identified by Pickens as the shooter. Police also recovered a cell phone near the scene that contained Washington's DNA. The District Attorney says Pickens' statement along other witness accounts led to the arrest.
KDKA spoke with Jerome Goosby's mother the day after the shooting in 2013.
"You took my baby's life. Why. I want know why," she said.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 19.
