Authorities say a man has turned himself in to face a firearms charge in the shooting death of a 3-year-old girl in Pittsburgh.
Public safety officials said 40-year-old Paul Parrish surrendered Friday afternoon. He's charged with being a felon illegally in possession of a firearm.
Police say Yasha Ross of Coraopolis was shot March 12 in a home in the Mount Washington neighborhood and later died at Allegheny General Hospital.

Police said the gun belonged to an acquaintance of Parrish's. Court documents don't list a defense attorney for Parrish who could respond to the charge, and a listed number for Parrish couldn't be found Saturday.
