On the night of September 11, 2023, a shooting on Webster Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Hill District left 43-year-old Dean Marbury dead at the scene and 37-year-old Jawan Montae Palmer later dead at a hospital. Officers found Marbury with gunshot wounds to the head and neck; two other people were also shot, one remaining in critical condition.

The September 11 incident followed an August 10, 2023, confrontation at Jay’s Lounge on the same street. Police say Marbury refused to leave, reached for his waistband, and was shot by a security guard; Marbury returned fire, suffering 11 gunshot wounds and injuring four bystanders. He was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment, held on $150,000 bail which was later reduced to $50,000, and was released. Palmer’s family has criticized the bail reduction, saying his release contributed to the later deadly shooting.

No arrests or additional suspects in the September 11 shooting have been announced and the investigation is active. If anyone has information about the Webster Avenue shootings, can you help investigators by coming forward?
