Body Found Near Baldwin Homicide Suspect's Home Identified

FOX CHAPEL, PA - The body found near the residence of the suspect in a fatal shooting in Baldwin last month has been identified as Christian Moore-Rouse, 22, a Verona man who had been missing since December.

Moore-Rouse, a college acquaintance of homicide suspect Adam Rosenberg, was last seen December 21 at a Dollar Tree store on Rodi Road in Penn Hills, according to police. His remains were found near the home of Rosenberg's parents on Settlers Ridge Road.

Rosenberg was arrested last month in connection with the death of Jeremy Dentel, 28, who died from a single gunshot wound to head in his home in the 3300 block of Vernon Avenue. Police believe Dentel was slain after Rosenberg made a brief visit to Dentel's residence; the two met through a dating app, police said.

Rosenberg has been charged with criminal homicide, robbery, firearm violations and tampering with evidence. He is being housed in the Allegheny County Jail.

Family members of Moore-Rouse told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that they told Verona police about Rosenberg and had made inquiries to county police about investigating him. County police superintendent Coleman McDonough said in a statement, "We understand that these are trying times for the family, but we disagree with that characterization.

"The Allegheny County Police Department received this case on January 6. The name Adam,
without a last name, was provided to investigators in January. He was identified as an acquaintance of Mr. Moore-Rouse, as were others, but not implicated in Mr. Moore-Rouse’s disappearance.

"Additional details will be provided regarding this investigation when appropriate.”
