Tina Louise Shelton, 37, was killed on March 9, 2016, during a mass shooting at a backyard barbecue on Franklin Avenue in Wilkinsburg. The gathering at Brittany Powell’s home left five adults dead—Tina Shelton, Jerry Shelton, Brittany Powell, Chanetta Powell and Shada Mahone—and an unborn child.

Authorities charged Cheron Shelton and Robert Thomas with multiple counts related to the attack, including criminal homicide, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, criminal conspiracy and attempted homicide. Investigators reported the shooting was likely retaliation for a prior murder and that the suspects were allegedly tipped off about Lamont Powell’s presence at the cookout.

Tina’s funeral emphasized remembrance and forgiveness; her lifelong partner Bruce Mullen Jr. read a letter. She is survived by five children; her father Vernes Pugh has taken responsibility for caring for Tina’s daughter. Does anyone who attended that cookout or who knew Tina have information that could help clarify events that night?
