Gregory Ray Wynkoop, 35, of East Franklin Township, was shot and killed on June 28, 2019 in New Kensington, Pennsylvania. He was found with a single gunshot wound in and around a vehicle in the 1500 block of Kenva Alley in Arnold, between North and McCandless streets, and was pronounced dead about 45 minutes later at Allegheny Valley Hospital in Harrison.

Investigators tied Wynkoop’s death to an attempted robbery and linked it to a string of shootings in the area. A search that used police, bloodhounds, and a helicopter led to an arrest; charges were filed against a man from Braddock and two women in connection with the case. Wynkoop, a heavy equipment operator, is survived by his wife Amanda and three children, Addison, Phoenix, and Maximus; colleagues at Holbein Inc. and members of the community expressed grief.

If anyone has information about the shooting or remembers activity in the Kenva Alley area that night, please come forward.
