Jason Nicholas Chavis, 25, was shot and killed on February 24, 2022, in a late-night triple shooting in the Homestead area of Pittsburgh. Chavis and 18-year-old Amari Mitchell were found shot multiple times inside a vehicle on East 16th Avenue; both were taken to area hospitals, where Chavis was pronounced dead shortly after midnight and Mitchell died a few days later. A juvenile male was wounded in the same incident and survived.

The Allegheny County Police Department opened an investigation but, as of this report, had not identified suspects or a motive. Jason’s father, Jason Sterling Chavis, has organized a GoFundMe reward for information leading to an arrest. Friends and former teammates remember Jason as stoic, determined, and planning a career in quality control.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to come forward to assist the investigation.
