(Allegheny County, PA) A Pittsburgh man has been charged with homicide in connection with a deadly shooting that happened in Wilkinsburg in January of 2026. The Allegheny County Police Department filed charges against forty-one-year-old Jason Levelle Moran yesterday. Investigators identified Moran as a suspect in the murder of thirty-one-year-old John Jackson. Jackson was found in the street at the 700 block of South Avenue on January 13th, 2026 at 8:42 p.m. Allegheny County Police stated that Jackson had been shot in the head. Moran was taken into custody yesterday and is being held at the Allegheny County Jail. A criminal complaint that was filed against Moran expressed that a man with a notable face and hand tattoo was seen on surveillance cameras at the scene. Officers used those cameras to track the man with tattoos to an apartment building on Wood Street, and that man left the apartment in an Uber. Police met with several witnesses who were seen in the various videos and learned the street aliases: “Flame” and “Face.” Officers noted that multiple witnesses identified Moran as the suspect out of a photo lineup.
