TWO MORE ARRESTED IN 2017 DOUBLE HOMICIDE

Two more people have been arrested in connection to a double-homicide in Somerset County. Marekus Benson and Deandre Callender were taken into custody for their roles in the deaths of Damien Staniszewski and James Smith in March of 2017. The two suspects were affiliated with the Columbus, Ohio East Main Money Gang, an organization that began operating out of Johnstown in 2014. Police say Staniszewski and Smith burglarized a Johnstown drug stash in March of 2017, and stole a large amount of drugs and money. Their bodies were found along Ligonier Pike in Conemaugh Township in September of that year.
