Troy Allen Rickenbach, 37, was fatally shot while working as a security guard on August 6, 2022, at about 12:10 a.m. He and a partner were patrolling the Pinnacle Transport Company property near Quarry Road and Mineview Drive in New Morgan Borough, Morgantown, Pennsylvania, after a string of catalytic converter thefts. Rickenbach approached a suspicious darker blue Dodge or Chrysler minivan on the lot; as he returned to his vehicle, an assailant opened fire. His partner, 43, was shot in the arm and hospitalized.

Pennsylvania State Police described a person of interest as a white male, about 6 feet tall and 230 pounds, with a reddish-brown beard and wearing a baseball cap, and released a composite sketch to the public. Authorities say they believe the shooting was connected to the catalytic converter thefts. No arrests or charges have been announced and the investigation is ongoing.
