James T. Ritter Sr., 54, of Monessen, Pennsylvania, was shot to death at his home on Donner Avenue on February 12, 2014. According to police, the shooting followed an altercation with his 40-year-old roommate, Chris Allshouse, over going to rehab; Allshouse told police the shooting resulted from that dispute. Reports say Ritter was shot three times, including twice in the head.

Allshouse was arrested and charged with murder. At trial in November 2016 a Westmoreland County jury rejected first-degree murder and convicted him of voluntary manslaughter; he was sentenced on that conviction. Details about the altercation and the jury’s decision were central to the case.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or knew Ritter or his roommate and can share information that might shed light on their lives before the shooting?
