Two men were killed in Clairton, Pennsylvania on July 25, 2026. Thirty-year-old Terez Bagz Russell and 32-year-old Robert Allen Gottie Jones were both fatally shot near The Village Inn in what authorities describe as a double homicide. The community was left shaken and investigators opened an immediate probe.

Police arrested 19-year-old Dashawn Hines of Clairton and charged him with homicide. Authorities say video evidence allegedly shows Hines shooting at Russell and Jones. According to investigators, an SUV was involved; its driver, reportedly a cousin of the victims, told police he had been forced to transport Hines and another person and that after driving to his grandmother’s house the two fled. Hines was taken to the Allegheny County Jail held without bond.

Hines had been linked to a December incident in which he and two others were accused of holding two teenage girls hostage and sexually assaulting them. Those earlier charges — including rape, sexual assault, and corruption of minors — were withdrawn by the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office due to evidentiary issues.
