In the early morning hours of September 25, 2015, a dispute inside Silky’s Gentlemen’s Club on Island Avenue in Stowe Township escalated into a shootout in the parking lot at about 4:30 a.m. Two men were killed and a woman was wounded. One of the fatalities was 22-year-old Jarrell Green, a Black man from the Sheraden neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The other fatality was 25-year-old Lamont Evans Jr. of Clairton; a woman suffered a gunshot wound to the foot and survived.

After the shooting an attempt was made to drive Green to a hospital; the driver stopped in the 2800 block of West Carson Street in the Esplen neighborhood and called for an ambulance. Paramedics arrived but Green had already died. Evans was pronounced dead at the club’s parking lot.

In October 2015 police named 23-year-old Lester Jackson of Homewood as a suspect and charged him with the homicide of Lamont Evans plus aggravated assault and attempted homicide. Authorities described Jackson as armed and dangerous and sought the public’s help.

If anyone has information about the shooting at Silky’s or about Jarrell Green that could help, please share it with investigators.
