Candlelight Vigil To Be Held For North Coventry Teen Killed In Shooting

NORTH COVENTRY, PA — A fundraiser has been launched for a teenager who was shot and killed during a home invasion in North Coventry this week.

A candlelight vigil to celebrate the life of David Michael Doyle III, 17, will be held on Thursday, Sept. 28, behind Ashford Apartments in North Coventry, where "Davey" used to play basketball.

A GoFundMe campaign for Davey's family was launched on Tuesday.

The incident occurred on the 700 block of Worth Boulevard in North Coventry Township at around 11 p.m. on Sunday night, according to North Coventry Police.

Multiple suspects broke into the home and shot Davey during an apparent robbery.

Davey was rushed by Goodwill Ambulance to a nearby trauma center, where he passed away at around 4 a.m. on Monday, police said.

"Davey was a wonderful kid who was friendly, loving and kind. He did not deserve this," wrote Angela Hope, who created the GoFundMe page. "He was a hero at 17 years old."

Police said that the suspects knew Davey and his family before, and that the incident was not random. At least one suspect has been identified already, according to authorities.

An investigation is ongoing.

If you have any information, please contact North Coventry Police at 610-323-8360.
