Anthony Lamarr Orosco was 20 when he was shot and killed at a small gathering in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, on the night of February 8, 2020. The party was at the New Colony Mobile Home Park residence of 19-year-old Dante Terrell King. An argument between King and his mother erupted after a guest became ill; both were reported to have brandished firearms.

Orosco went to intervene and tried to take the gun from King. A struggle ensued and the firearm discharged, a single bullet striking Orosco in the chest. Emergency crews arrived around 10:20 p.m.; Orosco was taken to UPMC McKeesport and pronounced dead shortly after 11:00 p.m. King did not flee, reportedly told investigators his finger slipped on the trigger, and was arrested at the scene and charged with one count of criminal homicide.

Are there witnesses or additional details from that night who can help clarify exactly how the struggle began and the gun discharged?
