The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified one of the victims as Robert Allen Jones, 32, of Clairton. The second victim has not been identified at this time.
According to the criminal complaint, a man called 911, saying he was forced to be the driver of a drive-by shooting.
Surveillance footage from the Fuel On gas station on Miller Avenue showed the driver’s silver SUV pull up to the gas station around the time of the incident. According to police, detectives were able to positively identify Hines from that footage and say he was a passenger in the backseat.
Detectives also obtained surveillance footage from The Village, which police say shows the silver SUV pulling up and Hines shooting the victims — before the SUV drives away.
It’s unclear if anyone else will face charges in the incident.
