Scott Taneyhill, 57, of Canton, Pennsylvania, was found dead outside his home on September 12, 2016. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire just after 6 a.m. and saw smoke before authorities arrived. State police say Taneyhill was shot several times just outside the exterior basement door; his home had been set on fire using a flare. The Washington County Coroner’s Office confirmed he died at the scene.

That morning Taneyhill’s wife, Amy Simpson, had left the residence with their young granddaughter shortly before the incident. His daughter and her male partner were home and were awakened by the gunshots. State police investigated but have not released information on suspects or a motive, and no arrests have been announced. The case remains open and unsolved.

Anyone with information about that September morning or about Scott’s death is asked to come forward.
