Allegheny County police are seeking two men in connection with a shooting Tuesday night in McKeesport near Crawford Village.
Arrest warrants were obtained yesterday for Jonathan "BJ" Coles, 20, and Roman Jones, 23, on charges of homicide, aggravated assault, attempted homicide, conspiracy and weapons violations, a police spokeswoman said.
The men are wanted in connection with a shooting on Pirl Street that killed 24-year-old William Doyle and two women whose names were not released. They were admitted to UPMC Presbyterian hospital and are expected to survive, police said.
Police said the shooters opened fire near Building 48 and then chased Doyle to the parking lot of Building 62. Doyle died of a single gunshot wound to the chest.
Coles is described as a black male, approximately 6-feet tall and weighing 240 pounds. He is from the McKeesport area and has ties to Clairton, police said.
Jones is described as a black male, approximately 6-feet tall and 170 pounds. He is from Clairton and has ties to the McKeesport area.
Police said both men should be considered armed and dangerous. If anyone has information on their whereabouts they are asked to call the Allegheny County Police Homicide Unit at (412) 473-1300. Callers can remain anonymous, police said. If either man is seen, callers should dial 9-1-1 immediately.
