On a Sunday evening in October, 32-year-old Richard Nathaniel Littlejohn Jr. was driving a Chrysler 200 in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, after leaving a gender reveal party. He had three passengers in the car, including a 1-year-old and a 10-year-old. A Nissan Altima began following them and shots were fired from the Altima into Mr. Littlejohn’s vehicle. He was struck and killed at the scene; his car then crossed into eastbound lanes and triggered a multi-vehicle crash.

A Jeep Compass collided head-on with the Nissan. Eleven people were injured in the collision, including five children and a newborn. One occupant of the Nissan fled on foot after the crash. Police identified two suspects, 22-year-old Tyrone Freeman and 23-year-old Erik Addison. Freeman was apprehended and taken to the Allegheny County Jail after receiving medical treatment; an arrest warrant was issued for Addison, who initially remained at large. Both men faced charges including criminal homicide, aggravated assault, and recklessly endangering another person.

Months later, in March 2020, Addison was located and arrested in Mount Oliver. The criminal homicide charges against him were later withdrawn after a key witness failed to appear for a preliminary hearing; that witness had been taken into custody on a material witness warrant but was mistakenly released from the Allegheny County Jail and could not be located. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the crash that could help clarify what happened that night?
