Second arrest made in Chester Rite Aid slaying

A 23-year-old woman was arrested Sunday and charged with the Thursday murder of a Rite Aid manger in Chester, just one day after her alleged accomplice was arrested for the same crime.

Police said Rita Pultro, 23, and David Wiggins, 24, both of Philadelphia, shot Jason McClay, 40, to death around 10 p.m. inside of the Rite Aid on Ninth and Highland streets in Chester where McClay worked as a store manager.

The two allegedly went to the store with the intent to rob it, but fled with nothing after shooting McClay, police said.

Wiggins, a convicted felon, was tracked using prints he left on a door handle, police said. He was arrested at his home on 30th Street near Dickinson Saturday and charged with first-and-third-degree murder, conspiracy and recklessly endangering another person.

Police converged on a house in Philadelphia this morning where they believed Pultro lived but discovered she no longer lived at that residence, according to a news release. They were then directed to a house on Harrison Street near Oakland in Frankford, where Pultro was arrested without incident. She now faces the same charges as her alleged accomplice, according to police.
