Semaj Mozee, 18, was shot and killed in his second-floor apartment at 667 Campbell Street in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on October 5, 2020. He was inside with others when someone knocked; a juvenile opened the door and saw a masked gunman. Mozee pushed the juvenile away and shut the door, but two shots were then fired from an interior stairwell. One bullet penetrated the door and struck Mozee in the neck. He was taken to UPMC Williamsport and died about an hour later.

Investigators identified the gunman as 21-year-old Seneca Martin Mitchell Jr., described as a one-time friend who had a falling out with Mozee. Mitchell, a member of a local street gang called the 400 Gang, was said to have viewed Mozee as an enemy after Mozee renewed contact with an associate involved in gang conflicts. An online argument on the night of the shooting reportedly included talk of smoking Mozee. Mitchell was arrested and charged with criminal homicide and multiple firearms and related offenses and was held without bail. A second man, 22-year-old Rocellus Carter, known as Ziggy, was also arrested and charged in connection with the murder and was held for court.

Mozee’s family has been deeply affected; his sister gave emotional testimony during preliminary hearings. Does anyone have information about Semaj’s life in Williamsport or the events leading up to that night?
