ALIQUIPPA, Pa. (KDKA) - A man is facing manslaughter charges after police said he shot and killed another man in Aliquippa. 

According to court paperwork, Alec Mineard was charged with involuntary manslaughter and voluntary manslaughter in Vincent Ciccone's death

Police said they were called to a home on Mill Street in Aliquippa for reports of a shooting shortly after 5:30 a.m. on Jan. 13. First responders found Ciccone with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and later died.
