A dispute among acquaintances in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, ended in a fatal shooting in November 2014. Tobiah Johnson, 22, a former Edinboro University student, was shot and killed in the parking lot of an off-campus apartment building on Water Street. The university went into a four-hour lockdown after the incident.

Police focused on a fellow student and acquaintance, 22-year-old Trey Gunter, after reports that the confrontation began over a handgun Johnson was alleged to have taken from Gunter’s residence. According to Darche Marie Jackson, who lived with Johnson and had been with him just before the shooting, an unidentified man ambushed and fought Johnson as they walked toward their apartment. Gunter then emerged from a nearby vehicle, struck Johnson in the head with a handgun and shot him in the lower back.

Gunter was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. He later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced in February 2016 to 15 to 40 years. Two other men, Ryan Andrews and Michael Barron, were also charged and later pleaded guilty in connection with the homicide. Did anyone in the Edinboro community have information about Johnson’s movements or the people involved that night?
