On the evening of June 9, 2023, 25-year-old Brianna Lartz was killed by a gunshot wound to the head during a shooting inside a home on Lowry Avenue in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. She was visiting a friend and in the process of moving when the violence began around 9:30 p.m. Neighbors initially thought the gunfire was fireworks. Four other people were injured in the incident.

Investigators found cartridge casings inside and outside the residence and say witnesses saw two men firing shots inside the home. The shooting was linked to a planned cocaine sale arranged through text messages. One of the men, Maleek Green, was located outside the house with a gunshot wound to his leg and a handgun nearby. Authorities identified two persons of interest, Deshawn Russell and another man.

Brianna was a mother of two young sons. The case remains open; anyone with information about the shooting or the events leading up to that night is asked to come forward.
