The shooting left Lahoff paralyzed from the neck down and dependent on 24-hour care in a nursing home.

Lahoff died earlier this week and the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office determined he died because of his injuries.

In 2005, Marty Armstrong, 20, was found guilty of attempted homicide and sentenced to 25-50 years in prison. Lamont Fulton, then 19, was found guilty of robbery, aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy and sentenced to 15-30 years in prison.

Channel 11 is working to find out if additional charges will be filed against Armstrong and Fulton.
