Tamon Maurice Hatchin was 24 when he was shot dead on August 8, 2018, at the corner of Brownsville Road and Marland Street in Pittsburgh’s Knoxville neighborhood. Witnesses said Hatchin and 32-year-old Earl Jackson argued, then Jackson produced a semi-automatic pistol and shot Hatchin three times. A witness called 911 and identified Jackson in a photo array, saying they were 110 percent sure he was the shooter.

Police located Jackson’s car nearby and traced him to a home leased by his sister. After a prolonged SWAT standoff, officers found Jackson hiding in a garbage can in the basement; he surrendered and was taken into custody. Jackson had a prior aggravated assault conviction from 2010 and was charged with criminal homicide and additional gun-related offenses.

The killing left a lasting impact on Hatchin’s family and community. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about events leading up to it, please come forward.
