Seventeen-year-old Darren Scott Jevcak was fatally shot on the evening of July 19, 2019, outside Scustie’s Pizza on Highland Avenue in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Jevcak, a Lincoln High School student about to be a senior who worked as a pizza delivery driver, was found in the shop’s parking lot and taken to UPMC Jameson Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He is described as someone who enjoyed weightlifting and spending time with family and friends.

Police arrested 41-year-old Michael J. D’Biagio of Beaver Falls at the scene. According to investigators, D’Biagio believed Jevcak had been involved with his daughter and had introduced her to cocaine. Reports say D’Biagio drove to the pizza shop after retrieving a gun, confronted Jevcak as he exited the rear of the building, and fired multiple shots; witnesses heard him say this is what drug dealers get. After Jevcak fell, D’Biagio allegedly shot him again and later surrendered to officers. He was charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault and held without bail pending a preliminary hearing.

Are there witnesses or anyone who knew Darren who can add details about his life or what happened that night?
