Syrina Marie Raneri, 17, was shot and killed on November 24, 2024, in the basement of a Johnstown home on the 100 block of Sheridan Street. She suffered a gunshot wound to the upper chest and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Cambria County Coroner ruled the death a homicide.

The shooting happened when Syrina visited the house of 17-year-old Kaden Woodring. Woodring fled but was apprehended shortly after contacting an officer by phone and has been charged as an adult with criminal homicide and multiple counts of aggravated assault. The firearm was reported stolen and had not been recovered at the time of arrest.

This case raises questions about how a loaded weapon came to be accessible and what led to the fatal interaction in the basement. Anyone with information about Syrina, the incident, or the missing firearm is asked to come forward.
