The 19-year-old woman shot to death in Bethlehem was the focus of a dispute between a man who was shot last week in the city and the alleged shooter, who is in custody, police Chief Mark DiLuzio said.
“She was the girl they had the beef over,” he said Wednesday night of Teayahe Glover, who was shot multiple times at 1:43 a.m. Wednesday at Fiot and Sioux streets on South Side.

Glover was present at 526 Cherokee St. the night of Feb. 2 when Tariq Dashon Page, 23, of Allentown, allegedly shot Allen Young, according to court records. Page was arrested Saturday on attempted homicide and related charges and was jailed in lieu of 10 percent of $500,000 bail.
Police investigating the shooing on Cherokee Street, about a half-mile’s walk from Wednesday’s shooting scene, described Glover as Young’s girlfriend and said she had dated Page in the past.
Investigators were continuing to probe possible connections between the shootings, and no one was in custody as of Wednesday night in Glover’s death, DiLuzio said.
“We don’t know what the connection is right now,” he said. “We’re working on that. She was involved in both incidents.”
He said he did not have a name or description of anyone sought to immediately release.
“It’s an active investigation, and it is moving forward,” DiLuzio said Wednesday night.

Another woman interviewed in last week’s shooting told police she returned to the Cherokee Street home from a liquor run to hear two shots and saw Young bleeding, according to court records.
Page was allegedly outside yelling, “I don’t give a f–.” Glover closed the door to the home, and Page allegedly kicked it in to re-enter the home.
Young was unresponsive after the shooting, and CPR was administered, police said. He was taken to St. Luke’s University Hospital in Fountain Hill and remained in serious condition earlier this week.
Glover, when she was 16, ran away from home in West Bethlehem, police said at the time, in August 2013.
Police were continuing to investigate her killing and asked anyone with any information to reach out to Detective Christopher Beebe at 610-865-7187.
