Deprincess Perkins, 35, of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot on October 16, 2021, outside Kennedy Lanes bowling alley in Kennedy Township after an argument that began inside spilled into the parking lot. She was with Antwan Harris, who was also shot and survived with gunshot wounds to both legs. Reports say 19-year-old Malik Smith and his group confronted Perkins and Harris; the confrontation escalated and Smith fired multiple shots. Perkins was struck multiple times and died after being taken to the hospital.

Authorities recovered numerous bullet casings and a handgun at the scene, and security camera footage conflicted with Smith’s initial statements to police. Smith was arrested and charged with homicide, aggravated assault, and carrying a firearm without a license. Perkins, a mother of six, was remembered by family and friends as helpful and friendly; a community GoFundMe was organized to assist her family.

Did anyone who knew Deprincess or witnessed the events at Kennedy Lanes come forward with information that could help clarify what happened that night?
