On the night of June 23, 2022, 34-year-old Samantha Harden was shot and killed outside McPatton’s Pub on North Gallatin Avenue in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Harden, described by family as a hardworking and devoted mother to a 12-year-old son, was an innocent bystander who was struck in the head when multiple shots were fired from a white Mercedes Benz after a verbal altercation inside the bar. An informant later told police the man who had argued with Terrell Maurice Jones used Harden as a human shield.

In April 2023 a Fayette County grand jury returned charges against 33-year-old Terrell Maurice Jones of Uniontown, including criminal homicide, two counts of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, and illegal possession of a firearm; he was arraigned and held without bail. The case has experienced repeated delays: a judge declared a mistrial in April 2026 after a prospective juror said she knew Jones from the Washington County jail, and earlier scheduling changes included a defense-requested postponement after Jones rejected a 30-to-60-year plea offer.
