Deven Holloway was 16 when he was shot and killed in the late afternoon of March 28, 2017, in the parking lot of Linton Middle School in Penn Hills, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Police were called shortly after 4:30 p.m. and found Holloway’s body near a parked car; the coroner recorded gunshot wounds to the head and torso. A handgun was reportedly found near his body.

The investigation centered on 22-year-old Nicholas I. Knight of Plum, who voluntarily went to police and said he acted in self-defense, alleging Holloway attacked him with a gun and he returned fire. Knight was initially released after questioning while police reviewed evidence and video. In October 2017 prosecutors announced they would not file homicide charges, concluding Knight’s use of force was justified; he was charged instead with possessing a firearm on school property and tampering with evidence. Holloway’s family expressed deep disappointment with that decision.

Did anyone who knew Deven or was in that area that afternoon see what happened or have information not yet public?
