On the evening of May 12, 2021, gunfire in a duplex on Dewey Avenue in New Castle, Pennsylvania left two people dead and another person wounded. John Charles Micco, 78, was found dead in his home after police responded to reports of a shooting. Margaret Esposito was also found deceased inside the adjoining unit of the duplex.

Police located Margaret’s 59-year-old son, Louis Vincent Esposito, hiding in the basement of Micco’s home and took him into custody. Investigators say Esposito confessed to killing both his mother and Micco and to shooting the neighboring resident, and he was charged with two counts of criminal homicide, one count of attempted homicide, and one count of attempted escape after trying to pull a fire alarm at the police station.

Reports tied the violence to jealousy Esposito felt toward Micco, saying Esposito was stressed and believed his landlord was caring for his mother better than he was. Did anyone in New Castle know of tensions between the neighbors or see anything unusual around Dewey Avenue that night?
