Pennsylvania still has the death penalty

The CEO was killed in NYC, so I don't think any serious charges could happen in Pennsylvania? I can't tell from a quick glance at his Wikipedia article. It seems that there is a PA case against him, but I couldn't find the charges. They focus on the NY and federal cases, which I would imagine are the more serious ones. I would expect that the charges in PA would be secondary ones like maybe possession of illegal firearms, etc. From what I can tell, only the federal case had the possibility of the death penalty.
