On Mother’s Day morning, May 11, 2014, 38-year-old Jeffrey P. Jackson was shot and killed near the Art House on Hamilton Avenue in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Officers found him in the street shortly before 5:10 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds to his trunk; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A witness who ran out after hearing gunshots and a woman’s screams identified Jackson as her boyfriend. Witnesses reported seeing a light-colored Camaro leave the area shortly after the shooting. The Allegheny County medical examiner ruled Jackson’s death a homicide caused by gunshot wounds.

In November 2014, investigators charged 24-year-old Tariq Devon Long of Wilkinsburg with criminal homicide and a firearms violation; he was already in custody on unrelated drug and firearm charges. The case went to trial. In February 2017 a jury acquitted Long of the homicide count after a key witness recanted earlier statements; the judge did find Long guilty of illegally possessing the firearm. Is there anyone who knew Jeffrey or who saw a light-colored Camaro in Homewood that morning who can help fill in what happened?
