Pittsburgh-Area Restaurant Reopens Weeks After Owner Shot And Killed

LOWER BURRELL, PA — Mogie's Irish Pub has reopened after more than a month following the slaying of its owner.

David Magill, 64, was killed on Dec. 21, as he was headed to open the restaurant and bar. According to police, Nathan Salem, 45, of Lower Burrell, confessed to the shooting shortly after it happened. He faces criminal homicide charges.

A motive for the killing has not been revealed.

Magill's children, Kelsie and Connor Magill, now are operating the pub.

“This is the embodiment of my father so I can feel him in everything,” Kelsie Magill told WPXI-TV. “Sitting at his desk this morning it definitely was emotional because I was actually putting myself into his shoes, his habits and his routines.”
