On May 3, 2022, police arrested 16-year-old Devin Lee Martin and charged him with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, conspiracy, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person; he was held at the Allegheny County Jail pending proceedings. A year later Lee’s family said Martin had been released and expressed frustration that leads had dried up. The family has been holding memorials and distributing flyers to encourage witnesses to come forward.
