Damon Dorsey Jr, a 23-year-old African American man, was shot on July 9, 2015, at East 24th and Perry Streets in Erie, Pennsylvania. He sustained gunshot wounds to the arm and hip and later died from his injuries.

The shooter was identified as 47-year-old James Troop, who was tried the following year. In May 2016 a jury acquitted Troop of attempted homicide and aggravated assault but found him guilty of possessing an instrument of crime and reckless endangerment. Troop was sentenced to one to two years in the Erie County Prison for those convictions.

The case drew local attention and affected the community and Dorsey’s family, prompting calls for more efforts to prevent gun violence and support victims. What information do readers have about Damon Dorsey Jr or the events that night?
