Aiden Paiz was 15 and from Kunkletown, Pennsylvania when he was fatally shot on November 22, 2020, in Effort, Pennsylvania. State police say the shooting occurred during what they believe began as a drug deal that turned into an armed robbery. Paiz was seated in a car with two other teenagers; a 17-year-old with him was also shot and survived, and a 13-year-old was unharmed.

Three suspects were arrested and charged in the case: 18-year-olds Justin Lemont and Anthony Mitchell, and a 15-year-old, Michael Demuro-Correll. Investigators concluded the suspects attempted to rob Paiz during the transaction, which led to the fatal shooting. The community held a candlelight vigil; family, friends, and classmates remembered Paiz as friendly, likeable, involved in his school’s anti-bullying committee, and trying out for the Pleasant Valley High School basketball team.

Does anyone have information about the events in Effort on November 22, 2020, or memories of Aiden to share with investigators or his family?
