PA - John 'Cassidy' Davern, 19, shot to death, Homewood, 22 Oct 2016 *Arrest*

“They talk to you like you’re like pestering,” says Justin, now 26, explaining how little they hear from Pittsburgh police.

“Like you’re bothering them,” adds Cassidy’s fiancée, Casey Morton, 21. She’s eight months pregnant with their son...

On Oct. 22, John Cassidy Davern was found lying in a vacant lot in Homewood. Shot twice in the chest, twice in the stomach, grazed by other bullets. He’d been left there for 10 hours...

Justin explains that his brother was lured to Homewood by a supposed friend who’d been bothering him all day about buying marijuana.

So around 11 p.m. on Oct. 21, Cassidy left the family home in south Pittsburgh with about an ounce of weed, and a portion to smoke himself. It was supposed to be a quick sale. There and back home.

Cassidy’s family believes he picked up the friend and two others who intended to rob him.

The murder of 19-year-old John Cassidy Davern had been considered unsolved for three months. His family spoke out last week, detailing to PublicSource the frustration and fear they’ve felt throughout the fruitless investigation... There seemed to be very little progress on the case since his Oct. 21 murder.

Until yesterday, when 18-year-old Floyd Beard of Homewood, who the family described as a friend of Cassidy, turned himself in to Pittsburgh police... Police charged him with criminal homicide, robbery and carrying a gun without a license...

Morton, 21, said another individual involved “told the truth” about the murder, offering enough evidence so Beard could be charged. However, she said the family does not believe that Beard fired the fatal shots.
