Duane A. Dettinger, 48, was killed at his Warrington Township, Pennsylvania home on July 22, 2019. A machinist at Slothower Machine Shop and an avid hunter and fisherman, Dettinger was shot after going to his son Wyatt’s bedroom to tell him to stop during what Wyatt described as a fit of rage.

After the shooting Wyatt fled in a red Mazda sedan with a 17-year-old. Carroll Township police located the vehicle, attempted a traffic stop, and Wyatt tried to escape on foot before being apprehended; officers recovered the long rifle. Wyatt was charged with his father’s murder. Many details of the family dynamics were raised at trial, including Wyatt’s claim that his father never paid attention to him.

Does anyone have information about the events that led up to that night or knew Duane Dettinger?
