Jason Raiford, 39, of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, was shot to death on July 3, 2022, at the Valley Royal Court Apartments. Surveillance video introduced at trial showed Raiford involved in a confrontation with a group of young men and teens shortly before he was shot multiple times; prosecutors said the dispute concerned drugs and money.

Three suspects named in the case were 16-year-old Amir Kennedy, 17-year-old Da’Montae Brooks, and 20-year-old Elijah Gary. Court evidence included that Raiford picked up a gun during the struggle and that Kennedy fired 11 shots as Raiford ran from the building. Kennedy was convicted of first-degree murder and related counts; Brooks and Gary were acquitted of second-degree murder but convicted of robbery, aggravated assault, and conspiracy.

The killing devastated Raiford’s community and family. Does anyone have information about the hours before the confrontation or knew Raiford’s movements that day?
