Nicholas Tarpley, 28, was shot and killed while working at Anna Lee’s Convenience Store in Donora, Pennsylvania on February 24, 2021. Surveillance footage from inside the store shows Tarpley in the deli area being shot in the back; he attempted to defend himself and was shot several more times.

Police released surveillance images of two suspects seen at the scene. Those men, identified in charging documents as Sydney McLean and Devell Christian, were charged with Tarpley’s murder and ordered to stand trial; both are being held without bond. The District Attorney said the internal video captures the shooting but did not release that footage publicly. Tarpley’s family and the community have been vocal in seeking justice after his death.

If anyone has information about what happened at the store that day or saw the suspects before or after the shooting, please share what is known with authorities.
