Police are charging Benjamin Conway Jr. with criminal homicide in the killing of his wife, Kimberly Jo Conway, at 5228 Meadowcrest Rd. in Baldwin Borough on Nov. 4.
Baldwin Borough police officers were sent to the Meadowcrest home in south Baldwin at around 1:50 a.m. that day for a report of a woman who had been shot, according to Sergeant Scott Scherer of the Allegheny County Police Department's Homicide Unit.
Upon the officers' arrival, they discovered 33-year-old Kimberly Jo dead of an apparent gunshot wound inside of the home.
Also present at the scene were the believed gunman—31-year-old Benjamin—and a relative of the Conways.
The Allegheny County Assessment Web page lists Kimberly Jo and Benjamin as the co-owners of the home since September 2011.
"Conway Jr. was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital, where he is being treated for injuries that were self-inflicted after the shooting," Scherer said in a news release.
County Homicide detectives learned that the Conways had a domestic dispute with the other relative present in the home, Scherer said.
"The relative disarmed Conway Jr. after the shooting and called 911," Scherer said.

since i don't drink at all nor do I have bad experiences with police officers in any townships or boroughs, you stupid comment is pathetic, as you are. Keep my names off your post as your nothing but a hateful rude ignorant person as you have been called on many post. you and your alias names you have on here are sick people. since you get your free obummercare, welfare and foodstamps why don't you go for psychological help, you wouldn't have to even fill out paperwork as everyone in the world knows you as you never had to show Photo ID for anything. How many personalities do you have?????
10:02 am on Monday, November 19, 2012 once again your an idiot like no part of brownsville is in baldwin. Dont try to twist our words, just because you know you screwed up, cc. We never said there was "no part" of Brownsville in Baldwin, just that what YOU claimed about drug deals on Brownsville "up by Brentwood" is wrong, wrong, wrong. THAT is NOT Baldwin, so you should not have called the Baldwin police and then badmouth them time and again, when the mistake was YOURS. Only the part in South Baldwin, near the South Park line, like the other poster TOLD you is in Baldwin. Not any part of, as you say it, "Brownsville up by Brentwood". You will never admit that you screwed this up, eh, cc? Just keep calling other people who are RIGHT idiots and morons, with those three fingers pointing right back at you. Don't you understand what it means when I tell you there is no portrait so clear as the one you paint of yourself?
We said that cc's complaints about drug traffic on "Brownsville Rd up by Brentwood" is not in Baldwin Borough because THAT IS NOT IN BALDWIN BOROUGH. We did not say that NO PART of Brownsville in in Baldwin, because all three of us know that the part in S. Baldwin down near South Park IS IN BALDWIN BOROUGH. But NOT the area that cc is always complaining about. So perhaps it is you who needs to put the glasses on and look at our words more closely? Regardless, cc will never admit her repeated mistake, but at least now the Patch readers know the truth.
She lives in Whitehall and thinks all things Whitehall are perfect and all things Baldwin Borough are bad, bad, bad. Her complaint is based on a mistake she made and will not admit, as you can see in the posts below.
10:02 am on Monday, November 19, 2012 ne12ukid, once again your an idiot you wrote "cc does seem very hung up on this complaning about DUI arrests, seems like s/he either has a bad relationship with the police or with drinking/drunks, another obsession? just musing...." >>>> Thank you for repeating my words to show AGAIN that no one said you dated a police officer. Sorry your delusions are out of control again. But are you ever going to admit that "Brownsville Rd up by Brentwood" is NOT BALDWIN BOROUGH. I know, you won't. Have a great day, dear. And thanks for the amusement.
"Thank you for your quick response and professionalism during the incident (that) weekend," Scott read. "Also, thank you for your help and consideration, after the fact, to the neighbors."
