JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - A western Pennsylvania man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a high school student found in a bullet-riddled sport-utility vehicle almost two years ago.
Twenty-four-year-old Dajour Morris is also charged in Cambria County with aggravated assault, conspiracy and firearms crimes in the April 2015 death of 17-year-old Makiah Jones in what police are calling a drive-by-turned-gunfight in Johnstown.
The (Johnstown) Tribune-Democrat (https://bit.ly/2odtH27 ) reports that authorities allege Morris and Jones fired at people from the SUV, hitting several homes and vehicles, and someone returned fire. They said Morris then drove to Hornerstown and abandoned the SUV with the victim’s body inside. Police are still trying to determine who fired the shot that killed Jones.
An attorney representing Morris didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.
