3 shot outside Swissvale mini-mart
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- One of the men shot outside of the NM Mart has died, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner announced Saturday.
Jamie Jones, 31, was one of three men hospitalized in the aftermath of the shooting but succumbed to his injuries on Friday while at the hospital.
Police later said three relatives were at a bar together before walking to the mini-mart. That's where police say the suspect, Bryan Perkins-Jiles, 36, pulled up in a white Lincoln and walked into the store.
Investigators say a witness, who's related to the victims, saw their cousin ask Perkins-Jiles to buy him a Red Bull. Shortly after, they all walked outside where an argument broke out, and shots were fired.
