On April 28, 2025, 28-year-old Nasstylejah Wilkerson was fatally shot in Washington, Pennsylvania. The shooting occurred about 11:45 a.m. in the 100 block of West Walnut Street near John F. Kennedy Catholic Elementary School. Wilkerson had stepped outside a residence to get his bank card from his car when he was struck multiple times and later died at UPMC Washington Hospital’s emergency department.

Police quickly identified a suspect. The day after the shooting an arrest warrant was issued for Trevon Jamar McCrary, 30, of Washington, who was identified as Wilkerson’s half-brother. McCrary was charged with criminal homicide and carrying a firearm without a license; police believe he was the shooter. A witness reported seeing a neighbor’s car leave the scene; that vehicle was found abandoned in a grocery store parking lot and its owner said she had loaned it to McCrary.

If anyone saw the vehicle near West Walnut Street that morning or has information about the movements of the people involved, please come forward.
