Fredrick Myers, 38, was found dead inside a Johnstown home on the 600 block of Somerset Street in the late morning of May 14, 2026, after police responded to a report of a shooting. Officers and emergency personnel provided life-saving efforts, but Myers was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after noon. The Cambria County Coroner ruled the death a homicide caused by a single gunshot wound.

A woman who was inside the residence made the initial call to police. The Johnstown Police Department, with assistance from other agencies, canvassed the neighborhood and briefly detained and questioned two people described as persons of interest; both were later released. No arrests have been announced and authorities have not identified a motive.

Myers was described in his obituary as a father of five sons and the longtime partner of Jennifer McConnell. Does anyone in the Johnstown area have information about that morning or about Fredrick Myers that could help the investigation?
