In the early morning hours of Palm Sunday, April 10, 2022, a burst of gunfire on Irwin Street in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania left 22-year-old Isaiah Alston shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene just before 3 a.m.; his death was later ruled a homicide. The shooting was part of a broader exchange that involved an SUV and other vehicles, and investigators recovered multiple shell casings at the scene. Another man was wounded, suffering a gunshot to the leg on Franklin Avenue and was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

Isaiah Alston was the grandson of William Alston, a former Aliquippa police chief who died in 2008. Within days, authorities arrested Tyquan Johnson and charged him with criminal homicide, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm with an altered manufacturer number, carrying a firearm without a license, and recklessly endangering another person. He was being held in the Beaver County Jail. Was anyone in the area that night able to see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened?
