Allegheny County police charge 2 teenagers in connection with shots fired incident in North Braddock
Allegheny County police have charged two teenagers in connection with a shots-fired incident in North Braddock.
The Eastern Regional Mon-Valley Police Department was dispatched just after 1:30 p.m. on May 4 to the 700 block of 6th Street after receiving reports of shots fired.
Responding officers determined that an occupied vehicle was shot at and hit multiple times, but no one was injured.
The Eastern Regional Mon-Valley Police Department requested the assistance of the Allegheny County Police Department’s General Investigations Unit to initiate a larger investigation.
County detectives determined that the incident began in Braddock Borough. The suspects’ vehicle was reported stolen from North Huntingdon Township but recovered in the city of Pittsburgh at approximately 7:30 p.m. on May 4, according to a news release from the Allegheny County Police Department.
Witness interviews and social media posts led detectives to identify the suspects as 15-year-old Nasir Williams and 17-year-old Jmeire Estes.
On May 9, county detectives, Eastern Regional Mon-Valley police, and North Versailles Township police executed a warrant on Maple Street in East Pittsburgh, where Estes was taken into custody. Detectives also recovered four firearms from where Estes was taken into custody.
Pittsburgh police, in conjunction with the U.S. Marshals Service, took Williams into custody on May 9 in Pittsburgh. Williams was found to have a stolen firearm at the time of his arrest, the release added.
Williams and Estes will be charged as adults, county police said after conferring with the district attorney’s office.
Williams and Estes face multiple charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a minor, recklessly endangering another person, and criminal conspiracy.

Pittsburgh Steelers get injury updates on five players, including ascending pass rusher
The Pittsburgh Steelers got some injury updates on Tuesday courtesy of head coach Mike Tomlin, with the most promising one being that pass rusher Nick Herbig should return this week against the Cleveland Browns.
Herbig suffered a hamstring injury against the Miami Dolphins and practiced late last week but could not make the final push to suit up against the Lions.
Meanwhile, four other players are working through soft tissue injuries as well. Cornerback James Pierre has a calf issue that has kept him out of the last two games, but he went through a workout on Tuesday and that could get him back on the practice field.
Tomlin seemed optimistic that Pierre would return to practice this week. He did not give the same level of optimism to guard Isaac Seumalo, who is still battling through a triceps injury.
Seumalo missed last week after not practicing, and could be out for another game if he can not practice. Spencer Anderson, his backup, will be limited after getting banged-up against the Lions.
Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has a hamstring strain that Tomlin said will leave as questionable this week, and will likely limit him early in the practice week. The same can be said for slot cornerback Brandin Echols, who is battling a groin injury.
