Daryl Vincent Lee Jr., 44, was found dead along State Route 403 in East Wheatfield Township, near the Indiana–Cambria county line, on the morning of July 14, 2023. Authorities say he had been shot the previous afternoon while riding as a passenger in a pickup truck in Johnstown; an autopsy confirmed a gunshot wound and ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators identified fellow landscaper and neighbor Justin Allen Green, 41, and Green’s 30-year-old girlfriend, Brooke Ashley Pullin, as suspects. Police say Lee, who did not own a car, had been getting rides from Green. Authorities allege Green admitted to shooting Lee with a shotgun he bought at a yard sale, then drove with Pullin to Maryland with Lee’s body in the vehicle, discarded the shotgun in the Potomac River, and later left Lee’s remains on the roadside. Police say the couple’s one-year-old child may have been with them.

Evidence reported by investigators included shell casings and Lee’s bank card found inside Green’s truck and a multi-colored hair belonging to Pullin on Lee’s body. Green and Pullin were taken into custody and held in the Cambria County Prison, and the child was placed with Cambria County Children and Youth Services. Does anyone have information about Lee’s movements on July 13, 2023, or about the pickup truck involved?
