DeVon Dozier, 23, was found bleeding from a gunshot wound to his femur inside a Crafton Heights apartment on June 14, 2018. He was taken to Allegheny General Hospital but died several hours later from his injuries.

Police say witnesses reported an argument in the hallway between DeVon Dozier and 29-year-old Rashem Littleberry of Chartiers City, after which Littleberry shot Dozier in the thigh. Littleberry was already in federal custody on drug-related charges when he was later charged in this case; he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a state sentence of 4.5 to 9 years followed by three years of probation.

Dozier’s family had previously suffered multiple killings, including his father in 2003 and another son, Diondre Dozier, in 2014; his mother and grandmother spoke about their grief during court. Any readers with information about the June 14, 2018 incident are asked to come forward.
