The suspect in the shooting <\/a>of two men, one fatally, in a southwest Reading apartment was taken into custody over the weekend in New York, Berks County District Attorney John T. Adams said Monday.<\/p>\n

Berks authorities were waiting to hear from officials in Orange County whether the suspect, Amaury Rosado\u2011Laboy, 43, planned to fight extradition to Pennsylvania to face the charges, Adams said.<\/p>\n

Reading police charged Rosado\u2011Laboy, who has no permanent address, with first\u2011, second\u2011 and third\u2011degree murder; aggravated assault; burglary; and a weapons offense after one of the victims identified him as the shooter early Friday morning in the 500 block of Lancaster Avenue.<\/p>\n

He was taken into custody over the weekend on a warrant from Reading police. Orange County, north of New York City, is considered part of the Hudson Valley region of the state. Details of his arrest were unavailable.<\/p>\n

He is accused of breaking into the apartment above a storefront about 2 a.m. and shooting his brother, Alex B. Rosado\u2011Laboy, 45, who died at the scene, and another man, who suffered a gunshot wound to the jaw. Both victims lived in the apartment.<\/p>\n

An autopsy<\/a> was scheduled Monday in Reading Hospital to determine the cause and manner of death for Alex Rosado\u2011Laboy, Berks County Coroner Matthew J. Stitzel said.<\/p>\n

According to the probable cause affidavit:<\/p>\n

Police arrived at the apartment for a 911 call about a shooting and encountered a man, listed in court documents as Victim #2, bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound to the jaw. Officers then found Alex Rosado\u2011Laboy dead on the kitchen floor.<\/p>\n

City paramedics transported Victim #2 to Reading Hospital for further treatment.<\/p>\n

A female resident told police that she was asleep in the rear bedroom when she was startled awake by the sound and flash of a gunshot. She saw a shadowy male figure running away.<\/p>\n

Victim #2 came into the bedroom holding his face. He told her that Amaury Rosado\u2011Laboy had just shot him and Alex Rosado\u2011Laboy.<\/p>\n

The woman jumped out of bed and saw Alex Rosado\u2011Laboy unresponsive on the floor. She called 911.<\/p>\n

Police secured the apartment and surrounding area as a crime scene. Investigators noticed a window screen in the middle room appeared to have been forced in and bent. They also noticed the door to the bedroom of Victim #2 appeared to have been forced open, with wood surrounding the deadbolt cracked.<\/p>\n

Footage from a nearby residential security camera shows a male exiting the front door of the apartment after the shooting and running west on Lancaster Avenue. He is seen wearing a backpack.<\/p>\n

Additional footage shows the same man walking west in the north alley behind the 600 block of Lancaster Avenue about 2:05 a.m., approximately three minutes before police were dispatched for the shooting call.<\/p>\n
