"TAYLOR, PA — The Lackawanna County coroner officially ruled Friday that a man from Taylor shot Thursday night in his home was a victim of homicide.
"The coroner said David Jones, 53, died from a single gunshot wound to his head.
"Investigators said it was his fiance's ex-boyfriend that pulled the trigger, then, after fleeing from police, turned the gun on himself.
"Taylor police were still on scene Friday of a deadly shooting on West Grove Street making sure no one went inside the apartment where the murder took place.
"Investigators said it was just after 5:30 p.m. when they arrived at the apartment building and found Jones dead.
"Investigators said Jones' fiance, Samantha Keesler, and her child were inside the home at the time of the shooting. They were not hurt.
"Investigators said the shooter, 47-year old Angelo Rizzuto, 47, of Virginia, was Keesler's ex-boyfriend.
"After the shooting, police said, he took off inside a Lincoln Town Car with a driver he had hired in Virginia.
"Hours later in the Poconos, state police stopped the car Rizzuto was traveling in along Interstate 80 near the Marshalls Creek exit.
"It all ended when, investigators said, Rizzuto turned the gun on himself and took his own life.
