Woman found dead in Rostraver Township now being investigated as a homicide
Police in Westmoreland County have confirmed that a suspicious death in Rostraver Township of a woman is now considered a homicide.
The family of Jennah Marie Seibert found her shot to death inside her home earlier today.
Speaking with the police chief, they now consider it a homicide, which is a change from Friday afternoon when it was simply considered a suspicious death.
Neighbors along Lenity School Road are now trying to make sense of what happened on their usually quiet street.
"There's usually no serious crime out here, but apparently there is today," said Alex Rodriguez, a neighbor.
Police said she was found dead inside the home and had been shot.
"It's pretty shocking to hear," Rodriguez said.
Officers were called to the home around 12:15 p.m. on Friday afternoon after her family found her dead inside. Police arrived and surrounded the home with crime scene tape and served warrants in the area. She was ultimately identified as Jennah Marie Seibert.
"I'd see her go by, and I'd see her at the mailbox and she'd blow her horn and that was it," said Doug Johnson, another neighbor. "Now, my son knew her husband, and said he was ok."
Rostraver Township Police are working with Westmoreland County detectives on this case and said they have spoken with the entire family, and they are cooperating.
They're still determining potential suspects, and because of that, Rodriguez said he worries about more than just his safety.
"I also worry about my family and whatnot," he said. "My family is pretty well dispersed around the tri-county area, and I worry about not just this town, but others around."
He's hoping a suspect is identified and found soon.
We're expecting more from the police either later on Friday night or on Saturday.
