80-160 months in prison? A man died in his home. She was a part of the robbery even if she didn't pull the trigger. How unfair.

On the afternoon of Monday, September 28, 2015, 65-year-old Harry Vaughn was killed inside his Ridge Avenue home in North Braddock, Pennsylvania, during what police described as a planned robbery. Two teenagers, 17-year-old Jordan Johnson and 16-year-old Destiny Walker, entered through a back door intending to rob occupants. Johnson reportedly pointed a gun at a woman whose screams alerted Vaughn. Vaughn ran from another room to help; a struggle to disarm the teens followed and several shots were fired. Vaughn was struck under his left arm and pronounced dead at the scene.

Johnson fled to a hospital with a gunshot wound to his hand and initially claimed he had been a victim of random gunfire; Walker was found at Johnson’s home and taken into custody. Both were charged as adults with homicide, robbery, and conspiracy; Johnson also faced a possession charge. Johnson later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and received a 17 1/2 to 40-year sentence. Walker’s initial second-degree murder verdict in a bench trial was vacated; she ultimately pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, robbery, and conspiracy and received 80 to 160 months plus a lengthy period of probation.

Did anyone in North Braddock know Harry Vaughn well enough to share memories or details about that afternoon?
