Police identify suspect, victim in fatal North Shore stabbing

PITTSBURGH — One person was killed after being stabbed early Sunday morning on the North Shore.

Investigators told Channel 11 it happened around 2 a.m. on North Shore Drive, just as people were leaving bars in the area.

Pittsburgh police said Joden Rocco, 24, got into a fight with Dulane Scott Cameron Jr., 24, and stabbed him. Cameron died at the scene.

Police said Rocco fled the scene but was taken into custody a short time later.

"It was scary, I didn't know if they caught the guy," said Jesus Emerick, who was just starting his shift at work. "I didn't know anything about what happened, all I know is I get here and I see police cars everywhere."

According to the general manager of Tequila Cowboy, Chad Conner, the security camera shows that Rocco was turned away from the bar just moments before the stabbing.

"He came down the street with his shirt off and tried to come in and we turned him away," Conner said. "So he went down the street and started swinging on a couple of guys. Police caught him and brought him back and we identified him."

Rocco is in the Allegheny County Jail, charged in connection with criminal homicide.
