A Hempfield Township man was led to a deadly ambush in May 2012 in Manor by a gunman who was angered at the victim's romantic interest in his girlfriend.
The next day, Westmoreland County detectives arrested Jason P. Maple, 24, who was accused of shooting and killing William Teck, 25, a Hempfield Township construction worker, at about 3:35 a.m. along Norfolk Southern railroad tracks.
Police arrested three of Maple's four alleged co-conspirators in Teck's death: Nathan T. Shank, 20, Ryan Bronowski, 22 and Maple's girlfriend, Jennifer Vinsek, 24. All three were charged with criminal homicide and conspiracy and were being held in the county prison without bond.
Arrest warrants also were issued for one other person who investigators allege assisted Maple in carrying out the murder plan: Shank's brother, Dwayne, who was in his 20s.
The arrest affidavit detective Terry Kuhns filed after Shank's arrest disclosed that Teck recently resided in the Division Street apartment that Vinsek shared with her roommate, Amy Kujawa. Police said that witnesses reported Teck and Vinsek had become romantically involved, at the same time she also had dated Maple.
On May 27 2012, Kuhns reported, Maple believed that Teck and his friend, Patrick Altman, "had damaged some furniture" in the apartment. Two days later, Maple told detectives that he believed Teck and Altman broke into the apartment and took jewelry and an undisclosed amount of money. Maple also told investigators that he had "received information that William Teck stated he was going to sexually assault Jennifer Vinsek."
On May 29, after making a report about the damaged apartment furniture, an entertainment center and a damaged mirror, to Greensburg police, Maple said Vinsek and he decided to confront Teck and Altman at Clearwaterz, a lounge along Route 30, east of Greensburg. Maple told police he verbally confronted the pair, but left the bar. "Mr. Maple stated that at this point, he decided to retaliate against William Teck. It was decided between Mr. Maple and Jennifer Vinsek that they would contact other individuals to assist them in killing William Teck," the arrest affidavit said.
The arrest affidavit disclosed that Kujawa, who is not charged, provided information to Maple and Vinsek via telephone that Teck and Altman had left Clearwaterz to travel to the Manor Diner. Maple then retrieved a 12-gauge shotgun he owned and telephoned his friends -- the Shanks and Bronowski -- to assist Vinsek and him with killing Teck, according to the affidavit.
The three met at a Manor convenience store to "conduct surveillance" on Teck and it was also determined that after the shooting Bronowski would drive Maple and Nathan Shank "from the scene of the homicide," court papers said.
Court papers said Maple told detectives that Vinsek and Dwayne Shank would act as "lookouts".
