On September 11, 2015, 28-year-old Jamie Romesburg of Carnegie, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed in Pittsburgh’s Marshall-Shadeland neighborhood. The shooting occurred at about 2:50 p.m. on Ingham Street near Brighton Road; witnesses said someone shouted Get out, then three to four shots were fired. Romesburg died at the scene.

A second victim, 25-year-old Kenneth Beckel, was also shot and died later that day. Investigators determined the shooting happened during a drug deal. John Williams, 22, of Homewood, Pittsburgh, was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, robbery, possession of a firearm, and carrying a firearm without a license. He was later convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and given two mandatory life sentences without parole.

The case is a stark example of the lethal consequences of drug-related violence and its effect on families and neighborhoods. Did anyone in Marshall-Shadeland at the time see activity on Ingham Street that afternoon or have information about the deal that led to these deaths?
