Christian St. John Jenkins, a 27-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in Pittsburgh on June 26, 2019. His body was found in a back alley on Truax Way in the Troy Hill neighborhood; the Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound.

The shooting happened in the early hours of that morning and was one of two separate gun violence incidents in Troy Hill that night. A second man was found with gunshot wounds at a nearby Lowrie Street residence and was taken to hospital in critical but stable condition. Police opened an investigation into both scenes but said it was too early to determine whether the incidents were connected. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified in Jenkins’ killing.
