On August 6, 2018, 57-year-old Lanny Hutson was shot multiple times and killed in his McKeesport, Pennsylvania, home. Police were called just before 6:30 a.m. and found Hutson in the living room with gunshot wounds to his torso, head, and arms; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers encountered 22-year-old Jhalil Brown standing on the porch; Brown admitted to the shooting and a Glock 19 9mm pistol was recovered on the porch. Investigators also recovered 17 spent shell casings in the living room.

Brown was charged with criminal homicide and later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. In September 2020 he was sentenced to 11 1/2 to 23 months in jail followed by 10 years of probation. Neighbors said the shooting shocked the community, and family members have been left to grieve. Brown, described as a recent college graduate with no prior record, said Hutson was the aggressor during the incident.
