Gregory Samosky, 27, of Adrian, Pennsylvania, was killed on January 8, 2025, at the home of 56-year-old Scott Shaffer in Washington Township, Armstrong County. Shaffer had invited Samosky and 32-year-old Kenneth Moore to his residence after they had been together at Ruby’s Den Burgers and Spirits. Shaffer retrieved an SKS-style rifle before their arrival and instructed his 18-year-old daughter to stay downstairs; she later reported hearing him load the rifle.

The daughter said she fell asleep and was awakened by Shaffer, who told her he had killed both men and asked her to help hide the weapon; she refused and called 911. Responding officers found Samosky on the living room couch with multiple gunshot wounds and Moore facedown on the floor with at least one gunshot wound. Shaffer was taken into custody at the scene, confessed to the killings, and the rifle plus numerous shell casings were recovered from the home. Shaffer has been charged with criminal homicide and remains in custody as the investigation continues.

Did anyone know Samosky, Moore, or Shaffer and the men’s movements that night at Ruby’s Den Burgers and Spirits?
