Regis Jones, 22, was found shot to death on the morning of December 10, 2015, on a walkway between Sister Thea Bowman School and St. James Church on Rebecca Avenue in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. A custodian discovered his body and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Shauntel Studvant of McKeesport as a suspect. Surveillance footage showed Studvant and Jones walking together shortly before the shooting. Police say Studvant came in and gave a statement claiming Jones tried to rob him at gunpoint, that a struggle for the weapon followed, and that Studvant gained control of the gun and shot Jones multiple times. He allegedly fled, burned his clothes, and discarded the firearm from a bridge.

Studvant was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, tampering with evidence, and firearms violations; a judge ordered him to stand trial. In January 2017 he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of third-degree murder and received 10 to 20 years in prison plus five years probation. Did anyone in Wilkinsburg know Regis or have information about what happened that night?
