Person of interest in Rostraver murder investigation recognized by police in front of Florida home
For a full month, there were no updates on who police were searching for in connection to the death of Jennah Seibert in Rostraver, despite surveillance video being released from a 7-11 in New Eagle showing a person of interest.
That changed on Wednesday, when the Westmoreland County District Attorney said a person of interest, who is the same man in those surveillance videos, was in custody on unrelated charges.
Channel 11 sources said that man is Dorian Jeri-Greene.

'It's a bit of a relief, yeah, because it was close to home here, and you know, it is a relief,' said Scott Rice of New Eagle.'It's surprising it took so long, but I'm glad they got him.'
That's how many in the Monongahela area are feeling.
'Oh, I'm glad, right. I'm glad he's caught,' said Ronald Pergola of Carroll Township.
Jeri-Greene was arrested on Tuesday in Tampa, Florida. According to court documents, police spotted him in front of a home in Tampa, and recognized him as a man with warrants out of Pennsylvania.
That warrant is for an incident in Washington County in February, where he is accused of breaking into his ex-girlfriend's home, then strangling her.
Jeri-Greene has not been charged in Seibert's death.
Jeri-Greene waived his right to an extradition hearing and is now waiting to be brought back to Pennsylvania.
Court records show he has a significant history of domestic violence in Florida, including two felonies.
In Pennsylvania, aside from that incident in February, he had a previous DUI conviction, pleaded guilty to a harassment charge in Monogahela in 2013, and to a criminal mischief charge in 2010.
Jeri-Greene was active on TikTok, often posting videos working in construction.
While it's unclear how, it appears Seibert and Jeri-Green knew each other. Seibert's Instagram page shows that the two followed each other's profiles.
Many in the community are just glad there's a development after nearly a month of uncertainty since Seibert's death.
'You know, you don't hear about that kind of stuff around here,' Rice said. 'I'm glad they're doing their job, and I hope they keep it up.'

Top TikToker Khaby Lame detained by US immigration
US immigration agents detained and later allowed the "voluntary departure" of the world's most-followed TikToker, Khaby Lame, after he "overstayed" his visa, authorities said Saturday. "US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Lame entered the United States on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa," the statement said of the Friday detention, adding that he was released the same day. The Italian national, who is a UNICEF goodwill ambassador and has a following of more than 162 million on TikTok, "has since departed the US." Lame had not immediately posted publicly about the incident as of Saturday afternoon. Since taking power in January, US President Donald Trump has delivered on campaign promises to tighten immigration controls and carry out a mass deportation drive -- aspects of which have been challenged in US courts. Lame holds top spot on the wildly popular TikTok social media app, with 162.2 million followers and has risen to fame for his short silent videos mocking the convoluted tutorials and tips that abound on the internet. He punctuates his videos with a trademark gesture -- palms turned towards the sky, accompanied by a knowing smile and wide eyes -- as he offers his own simple remedies. The idea for his content came to him while wandering around the housing project where his family lived in Chivasso, near Turin, after losing his factory mechanic's job in March 2020. His posts took off -- helping him gross an estimated $16.5 million through marketing deals with companies in the period between June 2022 and September 2023, according to Forbes. aha/acb

Khaby Lame Posts on Social Media After ICE Confirms Detaining Him
Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikToker, has posted several times on social media since ICE confirmed detaining him. According to a statement ICE emailed Men's Journal on June 7, the agency detained Lame on accusations of immigration violations in Nevada but let him voluntarily leave the country. You wouldn't know that from his social media pages, though, as Lame has posted to both his Instagram story and TikTok page since news went viral that he was arrested by ICE. Lame posted a video with costumed mascots to TikTok, and he posted several times to his Instagram story, including a photo showing a hand holding a book in a bookstore and a shout-out to an athlete for his birthday. He also posted about Eid Mubarak. He has more than 162 million TikTok followers. News that ICE had taken Lame into custody first broke via an X influencer named Bo Louden, although many people raised questions about the initial report because Lame no longer came up in the ICE detention database. That may be because the agency now says it let him leave the country. Louden wrote that he was the person who reported Lame to ICE. Here's the official statement by ICE, which the agency emailed to Men's Journal on June 7, after Men's Journal wrote ICE the night before to ask whether it was true the world's most followed TikToker had been arrested. 'U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations,' ICE confirmed to Men's Journal. 'Lame entered the United States April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa. Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the U.S.,' ICE wrote. Khaby Lame Posts on Social Media After ICE Confirms Detaining Him first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025
