Andrew Price, 25, was fatally shot on July 21, 1980, during a sniper-style attack on a residential street in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania.

Police identified 23-year-old Victor Belmonte Jr. as the shooter; officers say he fired a rifle from the attic window of his father’s home. Belmonte surrendered at a Pennsylvania State Police barracks and was arraigned the next day on four counts of criminal homicide and related charges for wounding another neighbor, Joseph Sima, who survived with a gunshot wound to his arm. At trial, the prosecution introduced a recorded statement in which Belmonte described believing an enemy was coming after him, while the defense argued insanity. A jury convicted him of four counts of third-degree murder, and in November 1982 he was sentenced to 20 to 40 years.

Andrew Price is listed among the victims in the trial and in later memorial and archival listings for the July 21, 1980 shootings in Coraopolis.
