Holly Slone George, 36, of Derry, Pennsylvania, was shot multiple times in her home on December 1, 2013, while watching television with her 15-year-old daughter. The shooter, identified as her estranged boyfriend Arthur Leroy Whitfield III, allegedly forced his way into the house, ambushed them and fired repeatedly; George survived initially but died 18 days later in a Pittsburgh hospital.
Whitfield was charged with homicide, burglary, illegal possession of a firearm by a felon, and carrying a firearm without a license. At a preliminary hearing George’s daughter testified about the attack; the judge ordered Whitfield to stand trial on attempted homicide and aggravated assault, and additional charges including criminal trespass, discharging a firearm in an occupied structure, reckless endangerment and simple assault were filed.
George’s family and community were left grieving after the brutal attack that her daughter witnessed. If anyone knew Holly, her daughter, or has information about the night of December 1, 2013, please come forward.
