Daniel P. Galvin, 36, of Erie, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot inside a Tuttle Avenue residence on March 8, 2020, three days before his 37th birthday. Daniel suffered a fatal gunshot wound and the Erie Police Department’s investigation identified his mother’s partner, Joseph J. DiGello, as the person responsible. DiGello was arrested and charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault; his defense attorney argued the shooting was accidental. Motions to set bail were denied by Judge John J. Mead in May and June 2020, leaving DiGello in custody while the case proceeded.

Daniel was remembered as a devoted father and fiancé who spent considerable time as a stay-at-home dad. He is survived by his parents, fiancée Santina Bonaminio, three children Tyler Vanhooser, Braysin Galvin, and Shaelyn Galvin, sister Megan Galvin, and other relatives. Does anyone have information about Daniel’s life or the household on Tuttle Avenue that could shed light on what happened that night?
