Ernest Dixon, 31, of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed during an altercation at Shooter’s Bar in neighboring Stowe Township on May 26, 2019. The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. after reports say Dixon lunged at 36-year-old Omarr Harris, also of McKees Rocks, who allegedly produced a black semi-automatic pistol and shot Dixon.

Harris was arrested shortly after the incident and charged with criminal homicide, carrying a firearm without a license, and an additional gun possession charge. Dixon left behind three children and a grieving cousin; the shooting deeply affected his family and the local community.

What details about that night, or about Dixon’s life and movements before the shooting, might help explain how the altercation escalated to deadly violence?
