Authorities from the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office arrested Robert Becoate, 21, of Soles Street in McKeesport, on Saturday on a warrant issued by the Police Department.
Becoate is the one whom police believe in south Baldwin on June 3, Chief Michael Scott said.
Baldwin police came to the 400 block of Charlotte at around 11 p.m. on June 3 to find the victim, who said that a man known to his son had entered his home and demanded money at gunpoint related to a possible drug deal.

The son had arrived at the Charlotte home accompanied by the gunman, but the gunman did not reveal his weapon until the son and father refused to cooperate with him.
The father went upstairs after hearing a commotion in the son's bedroom, and that is when the gun was drawn and aimed at the father.
