Robert Jeffery Linnen, 41, was shot in the early hours of Thursday, September 23, 2021, on Saint Clair Avenue in Clairton, Pennsylvania. Allegheny County 911 was called at about 1:30 a.m.; first responders transported Linnen to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. A black Mercedes with bullet holes was towed from the scene.

Known to family and friends as Jizz, Linnen Jr. was born December 3, 1979, in McKeesport. He graduated from the Clairton Education Center in 1998 and attended the Connelly School of Mechanics. He worked as a laborer, later ran Linnen & Ramsey Hauling, and was described as a devoted father to his son Sincere and daughter Sinurity; his hobbies included fishing, fixing cars, and following the Steelers.

Allegheny County homicide detectives opened an investigation and asked the public to contact the county police tip line with information. Does anyone who knew Robert or who was in the area that night have information to share?
