Jamael Campbell, a 26-year-old Black/African American man, was shot and killed in Monessen, Pennsylvania, in the early hours of June 25, 2018. Police were called shortly after midnight to the 1200 block of Summit Avenue; Campbell was found dead near the back porch of a two-story brick building at 1209 Summit Avenue. Some reports listed his address as unknown while others gave a last known address in Pittsburgh.

The coroner determined Campbell died from a gunshot wound to the head, with police reporting a shot to the back of the head. Deputy Coroner Joshua C. Zappone pronounced him dead at the scene, and Westmoreland County Coroner Kenneth A. Bacha ruled the death a homicide. Initial reports said no arrests had been made and no suspect identified, and the case was described as active and under investigation.

In March 2019 police executed a raid at the same Summit Avenue house as part of a drug-trafficking probe and seized stolen guns and drugs; two people were arrested in that operation, but reporting connected that action to the drug investigation and did not link those arrests to Campbell’s killing.

If anyone knew Jamael or has information about what happened that night, please come forward to law enforcement.
