Marquell L. Bailey, 25, was killed on the evening of November 27, 2017, after a planned robbery arranged as a drug deal in a vacant apartment at the Pershing Court housing complex in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Bailey went to the meeting with several accomplices — Megan Bowlen, Joel Grooms, Miranda Engle, and others — intending to rob Derek Lee Royster, who had agreed to meet to sell cocaine. According to reports, Bailey allegedly struck Royster, who then drew a firearm and fired, hitting Bailey once in the chest. Bailey was found outside the apartment, taken to Uniontown Hospital, and pronounced dead.

Royster was charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and drug possession with intent to deliver; he reportedly fled the scene but was arrested days later in Wilkinsburg. Bowlen, Grooms, Engle, and Davin M. Fitzgerald were also charged in connection with the planned robbery. At Royster’s March 2020 criminal homicide trial, Bowlen and Engle testified that they had participated in the scheme and later pleaded guilty to reduced charges for cooperating.

Are there details about Bailey’s movements that evening or witnesses who saw the group enter the Pershing Court apartment?
