On the night of December 27, 2016, 19-year-old Cejay Jones was fatally shot in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood. Police were called to the 200 block of Shetland Avenue at about 10:45 p.m. after multiple gunshots were reported and the ShotSpotter system alerted officers. Jones was found in a vacant lot with multiple gunshot wounds, including to his head and midsection, and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Jones had been released from the Allegheny County Jail four days earlier; he had faced drug charges and a more serious conspiracy to commit robbery charge had been dismissed. His attorney had expressed concern for his safety because of associations tied to that case, but police said it was too early to know whether his legal troubles were related to the killing. The Pittsburgh Police Violent Crime Unit investigated, and despite public appeals no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested. Three men arrested near a vigil were held on unrelated gun and stolen vehicle charges, which police said were not connected to the homicide.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or Jones’s movements beforehand, please share what is known with the Pittsburgh Police Violent Crime Unit.
