Neighbor reacts to deadly overnight shooting

By Maria Miller

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —


A Johnstown man has been charged with killing another man early Wednesday morning in the Moxham neighborhood.

Shaliek Greene has been charged with criminal homicide. He was led into a courtroom in cuffs late Wednesday afternoon to be arraigned.

Police said the victim was dating Greene's girlfriends mother and has been identified at 29-yeard-old Joshua Price

6 News talked a woman Wednesday afternoon who's lived in the area for more than six decades. She said news of the shooting didn't necessarily surprise her, it just painted a more vivid picture of what her neighborhood has become.


"It used to be nice. I'd walk the dog all around the neighborhood at 11 at night. I wasn't a bit afraid. Now I don't sit on the porch. I'm too afraid," she said.

This 90-year-old woman didn't want to identify herself but she did want to talk about how the neighborhood she's lived in for nearly 60 years has changed.

"Somebody, I don't know if it's kids or young adults is always roaming the streets, doing things and they pound on my house, kick the storm door in. I don't do anything to anybody," she said.

Her home is not far away from the apartment where police say Price was killed.

"There was some type of physical altercation between the suspect and the victim," said Johnstown Police Chief Craig Foust. "At that point, a firearm became involved."

"We did an autopsy today and the findings are that we have a gentleman who was shot at least four times," said Cambria County Coroner Dennis Kwiatkowski.

The woman said she didn't hear the shooting herself, but found out from her son who saw it on 6 News.

"I feel sorry, but it's hard to tell what they were up to," she said. "I'm sorry I don't trust anybody anymore."

It's something she said is concerning and even scares her, but she said, "I'm not scared enough to move. My kids would like me out of here."

Police said Greene did not have a permit to carry a firearm. They said he used a .380 caliber handgun, but as of Wednesday afternoon, they still hadn't found it.
