Jaylen Jermaine Martin, 24, was killed in a pre-dawn shooting on April 24, 2023, in the Homewood South neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Police found him sitting in his car near Hamilton Avenue and North Homewood Avenue just before 4 a.m.; he had suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was later pronounced dead at a hospital. A second victim from the same shooting was treated for a gunshot wound to the leg and taken into surgery; that person’s identity has not been released.

Martin was born June 18, 1998, to Jesse Martin and Darlene Charlee Bridger. Originally from Ambridge, he had been living in Kennedy Township with his grandmother. His aunt Alexa Lee said she had seen him the day before and was shocked by the news, and she noted that Homewood was not an area he typically frequented. No arrests or suspects have been announced and the Pittsburgh police say the investigation is ongoing.

Did anyone in the community see Jaylen in the Homewood area that night or have information about who might have been with him?
