On March 1, 2023, at about 12:08 p.m., first responders were called to the 3100 block of Versailles Avenue in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, after reports of a shooting. Responders found 47-year-old Robert Joyner, a Pittsburgh resident, with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 1:27 p.m.

Police continued the investigation for months. In October 2023 authorities arrested 18-year-old McKeesport resident Sanchez Spence and charged him with criminal homicide. Investigators say surveillance footage and a cellphone recovered near the scene were key pieces of evidence: Spence’s iPhone was located in a side yard, video allegedly shows him firing a weapon and fleeing, and additional footage shows him and two others changing clothes after the shooting. Spence was held in the Allegheny County Jail without bail and had a preliminary hearing set for October 27, 2023. The probe into the roles of the other individuals seen at the scene is ongoing.

This was one of two fatal shootings in McKeesport on March 1, 2023; authorities said the incidents were not connected. Does anyone have information about Joyner or the events on Versailles Avenue that could help the investigation?
