AMBRIDGE, Pa. — A deadly double shooting in a quiet Ambridge neighborhood early Sunday morning claimed the lives of two local residents and led to the swift capture of a suspect over 100 miles away in Ohio.
The Beaver County Police Department responded to reports of gunfire at a home on Locust Street just before 3:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 18, 2026. Inside, officers discovered the bodies of 38-year-old Ashley Deluca, found in a hallway, and 54-year-old Andre Littles, located in the kitchen. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Two teenagers were also present in the home at the time of the shooting. They were unharmed but were reported to be “shaken up,” according to police. Authorities have not disclosed the victims’ relationship to the minors but confirmed that support services are being provided to all affected.
A suspect was quickly identified, and a multi-state search began. That search ended around 8:37 a.m. the same day when the Ohio State Highway Patrol apprehended the individual in Zanesville, Ohio, following a car accident.
Authorities have not yet released the suspect’s identity or a potential motive, stating that charges are pending as the investigation continues. The Beaver County Police Department is working in coordination with Ohio law enforcement to reconstruct the events that led to the shooting, utilizing surveillance footage, witness statements, and forensic evidence.
The violent incident has sent shockwaves through the tight-knit Ambridge community. Local officials are urging residents with any information to come forward while emphasizing the importance of community support for the grieving families.
Funeral arrangements for Ashley Deluca and Andre Littles are expected to be announced in the coming days. The case highlights the rapid, coordinated response of law enforcement across state lines while serving as a tragic reminder of the unpredictable nature of violent crime.
