Stephone Drayton, 40, was shot in the chest and later died at a hospital after a mass shooting on August 7, 2022, on the 1700 block of Brighton Place in Pittsburgh. Multiple rounds were fired in a chaotic scene; 55 shots from at least eight different guns were later described at preliminary hearings, and three other people were wounded in the incident.

Prosecutors say surveillance footage shows people jumping out of a vehicle and firing toward the location where Drayton was found, then fleeing in the same vehicle. Ballistics, surveillance images and text messages have been used to link suspects to the shooting. Dayqual Allen, 20, has been charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, conspiracy and gun offenses; Tylajae Allen, Andre Allen, Andrew Johnson, Rayvon Poellnitz and Hezekiah Nixon also face charges related to the case. Preliminary hearings were held and continued while investigators and prosecutors gather more evidence.

If anyone has information about the shooting on Brighton Place or knew Stephone Drayton, please share what you know with investigators.
