Michael Coover Jr., 33, of Brackenridge, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot in a townhouse in Arnold in January 2020. Coover suffered two gunshot wounds, one to an arm and a fatal wound to the chest that pierced a lung and his spine.

The suspect was identified as Mario Gatti of New Kensington. On the day of the shooting Gatti allegedly drove to an alley in Arnold, entered the townhouse where Coover was present and shot the unarmed man. After the shooting Gatti reportedly brandished the weapon at two women who were trying to shield an infant, threatening to kill them as well.

A warrant was issued for Gatti on a charge of criminal homicide; he was considered armed and dangerous and was later apprehended and extradited from Florida to Westmoreland County. Does anyone have information about Coover’s life in the communities or about the events that night?
