On May 26, David Poole, 44, was walking home with a female friend near West Park in Stowe Township. Poole and his friend were attacked by three men and robbed.
Police say Poole was struck with an object in the head during the robbery. He passed away from his injuries two months later in the hospital.

According to the criminal complaint, Moran told police that he and two others were walking home from McDonald's when they saw Poole and the woman.
