In the fall of 2017, Ron Weston, a man from Colwyn, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot in his home. The incident, which occurred on October 16, 2017, was the result of a robbery gone wrong. Three individuals reportedly planned to rob Weston of money and marijuana at his residence on South 4th Street.
The plan involved one of the men, who was an acquaintance of Weston, knocking on his door.
After being let inside, the acquaintance stepped back out and re-entered with a second man, Dorion Young-Jenkins, while a third accomplice waited in a getaway car. Immediately upon entering, Young-Jenkins allegedly raised a long-barrel revolver and shot Weston in the chest. The assailants then fled the scene in a Mercedes Benz. Tragically, the shooting happened in front of Weston's girlfriend and their infant daughter. Weston was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries.
For two years, the case remained under investigation. Then, in October 2019, authorities announced the arrest of 27-year-old Dorion Young-Jenkins of Philadelphia. He was charged with a range of serious offenses, including criminal homicide, first, second, and third-degree murder, robbery, conspiracy, and illegal possession of a firearm. Surveillance footage reportedly captured the incident, and at the time of Young-Jenkins' arrest, the investigation into the other two individuals involved was said to be ongoing.
Despite the arrest and the detailed accounts of the events leading to Ron Weston's death, information regarding the outcome of the legal proceedings against Dorion Young-Jenkins is not publicly available. Details about a trial, potential conviction, or sentencing have not been reported in online sources. Furthermore, there is no accessible information indicating whether the other two men involved in the robbery and murder were ever identified or apprehended. The resolution of the case against the alleged shooter and the identities of his accomplices remain unclear.
