On the evening of September 29, 2016, 16-year-old William Cade Booher of Beaver was fatally shot in the 1100 block of Wade Street in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. Booher was a backseat passenger in a car with two others when someone opened fire; he was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. The three had driven to Aliquippa to sell marijuana when a planned robbery unfolded.

Authorities say three Aliquippa teenagers ambushed the vehicle to steal drugs and money. Seventeen-year-old Lawrence Reddick Jr. was identified as the shooter. The driver, 18-year-old Dane Mathesius, was also shot and his body was found days later less than 500 feet from where Booher was killed. A 13-year-old passenger escaped and alerted a resident, who called 911.

Reddick, Ronald Reno Foster Jr., and Deontae Jones — all 17 at the time — were charged as adults with homicide, conspiracy, and robbery. Legal proceedings led to convictions: Foster was convicted of third-degree murder and later sentenced; Jones pleaded guilty to robbery conspiracy in juvenile court and awaited sentencing; Reddick was convicted of first-degree murder in Mathesius’s death and second-degree murder in Booher’s death, plus robbery.

Did anyone in Aliquippa know Booher or the others involved and have information about events that night?
