Tevita Laloni, 32, was found on a Millcreek sidewalk with a critical gunshot wound on March 30, 2020. He was taken to a local hospital and died a short time later. Initial 911 information from Tryana Lynn Scaramella said an unknown man had been found shot outside her apartment at 229 E. Hill Ave, but surveillance footage showed Scaramella, her boyfriend Derek Algernon Little, 35, and another man dragging an unconscious Laloni out of the apartment and leaving him on the ground.

Little gave changing accounts to detectives, first saying Laloni shot himself, then claiming the gun discharged while Laloni handed it to him to fix the slide. Investigators noted the firearm’s design would prevent it from firing unless the trigger was fully pulled. Officers found drug paraphernalia and multiple weapons and ammunition inside the apartment.

Little was booked on suspicion of murder, obstruction and weapons offenses and later formally charged with negligent homicide, three counts of possession of a firearm by a restricted person, and obstructing justice. Scaramella was charged with obstruction of justice. A third man, 23-year-old Randy Merrill Mower, was arrested for investigation of obstruction of justice after video showed him helping carry Laloni from the apartment and a witness said he took the gun from the scene.

Did anyone hear or see anything near 229 E. Hill Ave on March 30, 2020 that could shed light on what happened?
