A late-night argument at a Strip District club ended with a fatal shootout outside Mr. Jack’s Neighborhood Bar in Brighton Heights. On January 4, 2015, 22-year-old Joseph Adu-Marfo, who was Black, was struck during an exchange of gunfire after an arranged fistfight escalated when one party arrived in a car with several people. Police say Briquel Good and Adu-Marfo approached the vehicle and began firing; as the driver fled, an occupant in the car returned fire.

Adu-Marfo was taken to Allegheny General Hospital by Good but died of a gunshot wound to his lower extremities. Another person from the car was treated for a gunshot wound to the hand at a different hospital. Good, then 29, was arrested and charged with homicide, attempted homicide, and aggravated assault; a judge later dismissed the homicide charge on grounds prosecutors had not proven the fatal bullet came from Good’s weapon, though other charges remained. Was anyone in Brighton Heights that night able to see what happened outside Mr.

Jack’s on McClure Avenue?
