Darrell James Dickerson Jr was 18 when he was killed on October 3, 2001, in Erie, Pennsylvania. The shooting occurred in the 500 block of West 17th Street during what was described as a robbery gone wrong. Dickerson was shot once in the stomach and died after being taken to a local hospital. The robbery was reportedly linked to allegations that Dickerson had been selling fake crack cocaine.

A 17-year-old, Mack D’Juan Hill, was identified as one of the men involved and was said to have chased Dickerson and fired multiple shots. Hill was convicted of second-degree murder; another participant, Jonnie McDowell, was also convicted and received a life sentence. Testimony stated Hill approached Dickerson with a gun and pursued him, and that Hill was guilty of an attempted murder in a separate robbery the day before.
