A Saturday night outing on Fourth Avenue in Coraopolis ended in fatal gunfire near the Steel Shaker bar. Around 2 a.m., police and paramedics found 35-year-old Anthony Johnson Jr. of Aliquippa with fatal gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Three other people—two men and a woman—were also struck and taken to hospitals in stable condition.

The shooting reportedly began after a fight inside the crowded bar. A video posted to social media captured chaotic moments before and after the shots, and neighbors described multiple gunshots and people fleeing from the back of the establishment. Allegheny County Police homicide detectives said they identified everyone involved but did not immediately release names or announce arrests. Investigators plan to present the case to the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office when the inquiry is complete and say they believe there is no ongoing threat to the community.

If anyone witnessed the disturbance at the Steel Shaker that night or has video or other information, please come forward to investigators.
