On July 15, 2015, 32-year-old Kelvaughn Hawthorne, a Black man, was fatally shot outside the Cousins Corner Market at Laketon Road and Montier Street in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. A gunman fired at least 10 shots and struck Hawthorne multiple times; he was taken to a local hospital and died of his wounds.

Allegheny County police investigated. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a Black male flee in a white sedan, and surveillance footage from the corner store, though grainy, captured the shooting. Investigators focused on Cory Jackson, who had a prior dispute with Hawthorne; the shooter in the video was left-handed and an electrical contractor in the area identified Jackson as the man he saw running with a gun.

Police arrested Cory Jackson on August 4, 2015, charging him with criminal homicide, weapons violations, and tampering with evidence. Jackson later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and in January 2018, at age 28, was sentenced to 12.5 to 25 years in state prison. Does anyone have additional information about Kelvaughn’s movements that afternoon or the moments around the shooting?
