On the afternoon of October 14, 2008, 21-year-old Antwann Jackson of Penn Hills was killed in a daylight ambush in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Witnesses said up to four people in a gray Jeep Cherokee opened fire on Jackson, who was unarmed and may have been riding a bicycle; he was struck at least three times, including a fatal wound to the abdomen. Dozens of shell casings were recovered on the 7100 block of Race Street, and Jackson was pronounced dead after being taken to UPMC Presbyterian.

The case grew cold with no arrests reported. Jackson’s mother, Sheryl Jackson, said he was a father trying to turn his life around after run-ins with the justice system. Four years after the shooting the family issued a public plea, a $10,000 reward was offered, and a billboard was placed at the scene, but the people responsible remained at large.

Does anyone have information about that afternoon on Race Street or about a gray Jeep Cherokee seen in Homewood around October 14, 2008?
