Charges filed against 1 of 5 people shot at Hill District bar

PITTSBURGH — Channel 11 has the criminal complaint that details exactly what led up to five people being shot in the city’s Hill District Wednesday night. One of those people was Dean Marbury, who Pittsburgh police say was one of the people who fired his weapon.

Detectives say surveillance video from inside Jay’s Bar shows Marbury getting into an argument with a security guard, which then turned physical. That’s when police say another security guard drew a gun and shot at Marbury. Marbury shot back — with several customers caught in the crossfire.

He was then shot again — 11 times total — when he tried to leave the bar.

Court documents say Marbury went to a neighbor’s house on Perry Street and asked for a ride to the hospital. When detectives questioned him at the hospital, Marbury said he didn’t know who shot him. He then allegedly tried to check himself out.

Detectives say Marbury was not allowed to have a gun and they determined he had a ghost gun.

Marbury is facing a list of charges, including aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.

We don’t know at this time if anyone else will be charged.

“I knew several of the victims,” said Reverend Glenn G. Grayson, the manager of the city’s REACH violence prevention program.

Pastor Glen G. Grayson has lived and served in the Hill District for more than 25 years and says when shootings happen here it has a ripple effect.

“We are burying potential, we are burying parents, we are burying fathers, children way before their time and all that potential is going to the grave,” Grayson said.

Grayson hopes this was an isolated incident and says his organization will work to prevent any retaliation.

“And that’s what we try to do follow up with the next steps resources and support,” Grayson said.
