Jason Omar Daniels Jr. was 17 when he was killed in a targeted shooting in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, during the early morning hours of October 3, 2015. A 12th-grade student at McKeesport East End Academy Charter School, Daniels enjoyed basketball, music, and writing lyrics. He was at a friend’s house on Idaho Street with his 15-year-old girlfriend when gunfire riddled the home; loud banging on the door followed. Daniels was fatally shot and his girlfriend suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Police and paramedics arrived at about 4:10 a.m. and found Daniels deceased at the scene.

McKeesport police and the Allegheny County Police Homicide Unit believe Daniels was the intended target and say the shooting may have been retaliation for a prior incident. Despite public appeals, there have been no arrests and the murder remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about Daniels, who he was with that night, or the events leading up to October 3, 2015?
