Carmello Glenn Mosley was 14 when he died on January 7, 2025, after being shot in the face at his family’s home in East Liberty, Pittsburgh. Police say the shooting happened January 4, 2025, while Carmello and his 16-year-old brother, Jordan Mosley, were reportedly handling a Glock and a Smith & Wesson and inserting and removing magazines. Investigators report Jordan pulled the trigger, believing the gun would not fire; after cocking the weapon a second time a bullet discharged and struck Carmello in the mouth. Carmello was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital and remained in grave condition until his death three days later; the Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head and neck.

Jordan Mosley was initially charged with aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and firearm possession; he was later charged with homicide and is being prosecuted as an adult. The brothers had attended Barack Obama Academy of International Studies, and school officials offered counseling to students after the shooting. The case raises clear questions about firearm access and safety in homes with minors.

Did anyone in East Liberty see signs these boys had access to firearms or have information about how the weapons got into the house?
