On March 9, 2016, while a family were having a backyard cookout in Wilkinsburg, PA. At 11:00 two men fired at the people one man firing a hand gun forcing the people to run on the porch. The second Ma began picking the victims off with an automatic weapon shooting eight people and killing six including an unborn baby.
The victims were all members of the same family and they were identified as: Jerry Shelton age 35, His cousin Tina Shelton age 37, Brittney Powell, sister of Jerry Powell, Charlotta Powell the pregnant sister of Brittney and Jerry and Shads Mahone another cousin.
Police arrested Chevron Shelton and Robert Thomas for the shooting. The motive being revenge for another murder in 2013 that they suspected one of the victims Lawrence Shelton of committing.
This happens all to often in the Hood. One murder often leads to more as the loved ones of the first homicide kills suspects of that homicide.
The suspects are in Allegheny County Jail and are awaiting trail.
This story didn't get the attention of other stories because the victims were ghetto.
The Middle Class black community continue to be embarrassed by people who live in the hood. The white Liberals are to afraid of being labeled racist that they were OK ignoring the deaths of six people.
This is a local story in fact it happened in the town where I work.
I will never forget this story or the victims of this horrific mass shooting.
