John Davern, 19, of Pittsburgh was found shot multiple times in a vacant lot in Homewood on the morning of October 22, 2016, after having been lured to the location the night before under the pretense of a marijuana deal. An 18-year-old, Floyd Beard, was arrested after a warrant and turned himself in at Zone 5 on January 23, 2017; he was charged with criminal homicide, robbery, and carrying a firearm without a license.

Beard later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and related charges. John’s family publicly expressed frustration with the pace of the investigation and became actively involved in uncovering evidence.

Some questions about the events that led to John’s death remain unanswered — did anyone else have a role or information that has not yet been shared?
