It happened at the intersection of 22nd and East Carson Street.

“There were cops over there, cops over here, and over there, there were flashing lights everywhere,” said Elias Mallouhi, a regular customer at the Jag Dev Convenience Store
Yellow tape still surrounded trash bins near the business Sunday morning, around where police say an employee of Jag Dev was shot in the chest around 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
“I saw police parked out front, and I saw the store was still open, which is weird because typically they close at 11,” Boris Langer said. “I tried to go into the store, and the cop told me they’re closed, and I said ok and then went home,” Langer said.
People who live in the neighborhood heard the gunshots but were surprised to learn the victim was an employee at the convenience store. Langer found out about what happened from another store owner in the area.
“I asked if she knew what happened, and she said ‘yeah the guy got shot taking the trash out.’ Crazy,” Langer said.
Langer then realized he knows the victim.
“He says hi to me, and he knows my daughter. I’ve been seeing him since he opened, however long ago that was,” Langer said.
Anyone with information about the shooting should contact police by calling 412-323-7800.

A man from Fayette County has been arrested and is facing over 1,000 charges related to alleged animal cruelty and neglect.
Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele said that John Saxberg, 57, is facing charges in connection with what he called “a suspected illegal kennel operation” in Washington Township.
According to DA Aubele, Saxberg is accused of subjecting numerous animals to “deplorable conditions” and “circumstances constituting torture,” adding that approximately ten animals suffered serious bodily injuries.
Court records show that Saxberg is facing 1,029 criminal charges in total with offenses including aggravated cruelty to animals, cruelty to animals, neglect of animals, penalties related to dog licensing, and violations of vaccine requirements.
52 of the charges that Saxberg is facing are felonies, according to court records.
Online court paperwork shows that Saxberg was arraigned on Tuesday afternoon and is being held in the Fayette County Prison after bail was posted at $85,000.
A preliminary hearing for Saxberg is scheduled for late next week.
