The initial call was for a fight at Stylez Barber Shop. A 34-year-old man was found still alive outside the shop, but he died less than an hour later in the hospital, authorities say.
A Monroe County barber has been jailed on homicide and other charges after police say he fatally beat another barber who worked in the same shop.
Forty-eight-year-old Shawn Develvet, of Tobyhanna, remained jailed today when the Monroe County coroner planned an autopsy on 34-year-old Quentin Thomas.
Pennsylvania State Police say they responded to a reported fight at the Stylez Barber Shop on Route 196 in Coolbaugh Township and arrived to find Thomas badly beaten but still conscious in a chair outside the shop about 3 p.m. Thursday.
Thomas died about 40 minutes later at Pocono Medical Center. Pocono Mountain Regional Police Chief Harry Lewis says, “The fight caused his death.”
Online court records show Develvet is represented by the public defender, who could not immediately be reached before regular business hours today.
