Steven Joshua Molina, 24, of Ashland, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot on August 26, 2019, at a house on Hobart Street in Gordon. Court documents state the death occurred early that morning during a party at the home. Steven had asked to look at a shotgun belonging to 36-year-old Michael Grady, who was hosting the gathering; Grady allegedly handed Steven the weapon, which discharged and struck Steven in the neck.

Grady was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, and recklessly endangering another person; he was arraigned and committed to Schuylkill County Prison without bail. Two other men were in the house at the time and were not injured. Steven was a North Schuylkill High School graduate who attended Clarion University, was on the swim team, worked at Tri-State Envelope, and enjoyed video games and karaoke.

Anyone who knew Steven, was at the Hobart Street gathering, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
