On February 7, 2023, 15-year-old TreSean Jackson was found with a gunshot wound to his chest in Pittsburgh’s Allentown neighborhood after a ShotSpotter alert around 5:10 p.m. First responders transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. He was a ninth-grade student at Pittsburgh Carrick High School, remembered by teachers and classmates as a quiet leader who cared for friends and family and participated in class.

Court documents later say a 16-year-old, Maurice Morgan, allegedly gave TreSean a gun that day and that the two planned to rob someone; Morgan has been charged with robbery, conspiracy, and firearms violations. Police have not publicly identified who fired the fatal shot, and the Pittsburgh Police Violent Crime Unit continues investigating.

If anyone saw activity near the 200 block of Beltzhoover Avenue or Loyal Way and Harcourt Way that evening, please share what was seen with investigators.
