A second man accused in the stabbing and attempted carjacking of a Steelers offensive lineman first ran from Pittsburgh police detectives, but later turned himself in on Tuesday.
Dquay Means, 26, of Hazelwood is awaiting arraignment on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, conspiracy, illegally possessing a firearm, escape and carrying a firearm without a license.
Mike Adams, 23, told Pittsburgh police three men approached him while he walked to his truck near 17th and East Carson streets about 2:55 a.m. Saturday. One of the men, who Adams identified as Means in a photo array, pointed a gun at him and threatened to shoot him in the face if he didn't give the trio his truck, according to a criminal complaint filed against him.
Another man, identified as Michael Paranay, 25, of Hazelwood, moved behind Adams and sucker-punched him the face while a third man pulled out a large knife and stabbed Adams in the abdomen and slashed his forearm, police said. The three men fled the scene.
Adams underwent two surgeries for a lacerated colon at UPMC Mercy, Uptown, and is expected to make a full recovery.
Paranay dropped his cell phone when he fled, which police found and used to identify him as a suspect. Police charged him with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and related crimes.
When detectives went to Means' home on Monongahela Street and told him they wanted to talk to him regarding the incident, he ran from detectives. About three hours later, he called his mother and agreed to turn himself in. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on June 12.
