A dispute that started at Jim’s Bar in Monongahela on an October night moved to Bob’s Tavern, about a 15-minute drive away, and ended in fatal gunfire. Twenty-nine-year-old Jaisen Irwin was shot multiple times in the parking lot of the second establishment and was later placed in the passenger seat of a black Dodge Charger driven by Maurissa Spencer. Rather than seek help, Spencer drove away; Irwin fell out of the moving vehicle onto Washington Avenue and was later found deceased by a patrol officer. Investigators later located the Charger elsewhere with multiple bullet holes on the passenger side.

Authorities arrested two people in connection with the killing. Police identified Keaundre Crews as the person who fired the shots and charged him with criminal homicide and criminal conspiracy; surveillance footage and other evidence were cited. Spencer was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, recklessly endangering another person, and tampering with evidence, with prosecutors describing her as an accessory because of her actions after the shooting. At trial in February 2026 a jury found Crews not guilty of first- and third-degree murder; Spencer’s case remained pending. Was anyone at either bar that night willing to speak about how the conflict moved from one place to the other?
