Jamil Mallory, 32, of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, was shot during a confrontation outside Jerry’s Bar on East Baltimore Avenue in East Lansdowne shortly after 8 p.m. on April 8, 2021. Mallory, described by the bartender as a regular and a good kid, was unarmed when the shooting began. He was struck once in the abdomen and then fired on two more times in the torso as he lay on the ground. Mallory was taken to Penn Presbyterian Hospital and died of his wounds on April 13, 2021.

Surveillance footage shows 56-year-old Bruce Brown of Philadelphia arriving in a company truck and engaging Mallory in a verbal dispute before producing a handgun and firing. Witnesses identified Brown, and he was arrested four days later at his auto repair business after locking himself inside. Brown told police he believed Mallory had a gun and acted in self-defense; witnesses said Mallory did not have a firearm. Brown was charged with criminal homicide, murder counts, possession of an instrument of crime and related weapons offenses.

The shooting reportedly stemmed from an argument about an unpaid car repair bill. Are there witnesses or additional details about the moments before or after the shooting that have not been shared publicly?
