Robert Allen Gottie Jones, 32, was killed in a mass shooting outside The Village Inn in Clairton, Pennsylvania, on the evening of July 25, 2026. The attack occurred about 6:35 p.m. in the 800 block of Miller Avenue; Jones and another man, Terez Russell, both suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died after being rushed to a nearby hospital. The scene was described as chaotic, with personal belongings scattered and more than a dozen evidence markers left outside the bar.

Witnesses reported suspects fleeing in a vehicle immediately after the shooting. Surveillance footage from The Village Inn reportedly shows a silver Nissan SUV pull up alongside the victims before a man in the back seat opened fire with what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon. The Allegheny County Police Department Homicide Unit led the investigation and appealed for public help.

Four days after the killings, 19-year-old Dashawn Hines of Clairton was arrested and charged with homicide. A day later, 20-year-old Temon Jackson of Clairton was arrested and charged with hindering apprehension and tampering with evidence; the complaint alleges he was the SUV driver and later said he was forced to drive at gunpoint. Does anyone have information about that evening or the silver Nissan SUV that could help the investigation?
