Anthony Tony Keppel was 15 when he was shot and killed on August 29, 2017, inside his family home on Meek Street in Sharon, Pennsylvania. A student at Sharon High School, he was born November 14, 2001, in Brooklyn, New York, and is survived by his mother, Kristin McLaurin, and a younger brother, Jaiden. Friends and family remembered him for a charming personality and an infectious smile.

Police say the shooting happened during an argument between Tony and a 16-year-old friend, Christopher Dickson Jr. Tony was found with a gunshot wound and taken to Sharon Regional Health Systems, where he died. Christopher Dickson was arrested about a mile from the scene, later confessed, and was charged with first-degree homicide; he was held on $1 million bond. A 13-year-old brother and an adult witness identified Dickson as the shooter. Grief counselors were made available at Sharon High School and Tony’s funeral was held September 2, 2017, at John Flynn Funeral Home and Crematory in Hermitage, followed by cremation.

Does anyone have information about Tony’s life in Sharon or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
