On the morning of November 8, 2024, a dispute over a video game at a Westhorpe Lane residence in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, ended in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Daniel Gray. The friend, 21-year-old Holden Hoffsis, reportedly had been handling a silver revolver throughout the night, repeatedly loading and unloading it, then confronted Gray, pointed the gun, said bang, and fired a single shot that struck Gray in the chest. Emergency services arrived around 3:27 a.m., and Gray died from his injuries.

Schuylkill Township police located Gray deceased and began an investigation. Officers found marijuana, drug packaging materials, and suspected cocaine in Hoffsis’s room and possession; Hoffsis was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, third-degree murder, and related offenses and was held without bail. Gray, a Phoenixville High School graduate who played football and wrestled, was remembered by family as ambitious and joyful and had recently started a trucking company.

Does anyone in the Phoenixville area have information about that night or about Daniel’s last known movements?
