PA: Mariell McGowan-Means was Killed in Self Defense

GREENSBURG, Pa. —

No charges will be filed in the 2019 death of a man who was shot in Jeannette, the Westmoreland County District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.

Mariell McGowan-Means, 29, was shot and killed Cuyler Avenue in October 2019. District Attorney Nicole Ziccarelli said county detectives and Jeannette police investigated the shooting, and their investigation was reviewed by prosecutors.

 "The person who shot and killed Mr. McGowan was at his own home with his family when he learned that McGowan and two other men were coming to his residence armed and to do him harm," Ziccarelli said in a statement. "The resident also knew that McGowan and others with him had participated in an armed home invasion and brutal assault of another man earlier that same evening. The resident repeatedly told the armed men not to come to his home and that there were children in the residence. The armed men came to his home anyway. Fearing for his life and the lives of others in his home, the resident shot McGowan just outside the home."
