(Allegheny County, PA) According to Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday’s Office, the Allegheny County Gun Violence Task Force has made several arrests and seized guns this month. That same office confirms that after juveniles posted photos of multiple guns on social media, multiple agencies executed a search warrant on Etna Street in McKees Rocks on Tuesday. Authorities found three guns, which included one that was stolen, as well as magazines, ammo and marijuana and ecstasy pills. Two juveniles are now facing charges in relation to this incident. A search warrant on Dorothy Drive in Rankin last Thursday yielded a Glock 9mm pistol, as well as magazines and memo. Officials confirm that nineteen-year-old Jailen D. Mitchell is facing charges in connection to this incident. Authorities executed a search warrant on Greenbush Street in the Mount Washington neighborhood a day before, where they seized two guns, which included one that was stolen, and a laser attachment. Officials express that authorities charged eighteen-year-old Daonte King, who had an outstanding warrant, and arrested his mother, Shantese Skrine, on a felony warrant. Skrine is also facing charges in connection with items that were found during the search. Officials note that these actions follow enforcement across Allegheny, Fayette, Somerset and Westmoreland counties which have yielded over fifty guns and many arrests since 2026.
