Two women were killed during a domestic disturbance at a home on Klein Road in New Sewickley Township on the afternoon of June 24, 2023. Officers were called about 2 p.m. for a reported domestic dispute; the first responding units encountered an armed, barricaded suspect inside the residence and requested the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit and SWAT. Police later took 43-year-old Benjamin Selby of Zelienople into custody.

Investigators found the bodies of 65-year-old visitor Mary Lihosit of Irving, Texas, and 71-year-old Delores Selby inside the home; the Beaver County Coroner reported both women had sustained multiple rifle wounds. A third woman present in the house was uninjured. Authorities say Delores Selby was the suspect’s mother and Mary Lihosit his aunt. Benjamin Selby was charged with two counts of criminal homicide and one count of kidnapping for ransom and was held without bail; a preliminary hearing was scheduled for early July.

Did anyone in the area know Mary Lihosit or have information about the events at the Klein Road residence on June 24?
