In the early hours of a Saturday in April 2008, 37-year-old state constable Aaron Jenkins of East Hills was shot after leaving Club 22/Rendezvous in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Jenkins and a 24-year-old fellow constable from Penn Hills had spent several hours inside the bar and, after leaving, were in a parking lot across the street when an attacker opened fire from the opposite side of the road.

Jenkins was hit in the shoulder and the side and, despite being mortally wounded, drew his service weapon and fired two shots toward the assailant. His colleague sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was critically injured but was expected to survive. Both men were taken to UPMC Presbyterian; Jenkins died two days later at the hospital. Police had not identified a suspect or a motive and planned to interview the surviving victim when his condition allowed. No arrests have been indicated in connection with Jenkins’s murder.

If anyone was in the Homewood area that Saturday night or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
