Skyler Fox was a 17-year-old student at Pottsgrove High School who was found dead in Pottstown on the night of October 17, 2022. Shortly after 11:30 p.m., officers responding to multiple 911 calls about shots fired at 4th and Johnson Streets discovered Skyler and his friend Brandon Baycote-Byer lying next to Skyler’s car; both were pronounced dead. An autopsy ruled a double homicide: Skyler had been shot three times in the back and Brandon twice in the head.

Investigators recovered ten cartridge casings, a projectile, and a 9mm handgun with its serial number obliterated. The shooting was said to have occurred during a planned drug deal that turned into a robbery. A witness saw Skyler crawling from his car with a backpack, then saw the backpack gone and Skyler no longer moving. Messages were found arranging a marijuana purchase between Skyler and 17-year-old Dominic Carboni; phone records show Carboni deleted their message history minutes after the shooting, and surveillance captured a pickup truck registered to Carboni’s father leaving the scene.

On October 20, 2022, Dominic Carboni was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and robbery. A second suspect, 23-year-old Deonte Kelly of Philadelphia, surrendered on October 25 and was also charged with murder and robbery. Does anyone in the community have information about the meeting that night or the pickup truck seen leaving the area?
