William Stewart III, 52, of Connellsville, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed at his East Fairview Avenue home on the morning of February 18, 2020. Born April 20, 1967, he was known locally for his dedication to family and his work on cars. He is survived by three sons, Devon and Ryan Lamanna, and Andrew Stewart, and by grandchildren Carter and Lyal Lamanna, plus his girlfriend Heather Mickey.

Police say Stewart was confronted in his backyard after an argument by 31-year-old Keith Bradshaw and 37-year-old Marjorie Ann Jay. Bradshaw allegedly shot Stewart multiple times; the confrontation was reportedly connected to a relationship Bradshaw had with Stewart’s girlfriend’s 16-year-old son. Bradshaw and Jay left the scene with the teenager, prompting an Amber Alert and an interstate search that ended with their capture in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Both were charged with homicide and kidnapping; court testimony mentioned conflicting accounts about whether the teen went voluntarily.

Anyone who knew William Stewart or has information about the events of February 18, 2020, is asked to come forward.
