George C. Dayieb, 57, of Murrysville, Pennsylvania, was reported missing on December 27, 2023, after leaving home to meet a business associate, Jeremy Fisher, about a debt of more than $400,000. The two were partners in an excavation company, and Fisher allegedly owed Dayieb for equipment purchases. Dayieb’s unoccupied black Ford F-350 was found the same day near Ewing Road in Kennedy Township.

On December 29, Dayieb’s body was located inside a trailer in Clarion County with a single gunshot wound to the back of his head. Investigators arrested three people: Jeremy Fisher, 41, of Coraopolis; William Fortuna, 58, of Conway; and Braden Elliott, 20, of Chicora. Authorities say Fisher conspired with Fortuna and Elliott to kill Dayieb; Fortuna allegedly supplied a revolver and Elliott was reportedly promised a diesel truck for his assistance. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Dayieb entering Fisher’s vehicle near a Citgo in Coraopolis, Elliott seated behind him, and Fortuna following in another truck.

Elliott and Fortuna were held at the Allegheny County Jail, and Fisher was hospitalized after a medical emergency at the time of arrest. Dayieb is remembered as a companion, father, and son. Is there anyone who knew Dayieb or who saw him around December 27 who can offer more information?
