Teenagers Charged as Adults in North Braddock Shooting Incident, No Injuries Reported

Two teenagers have been charged as adults following a shots-fired incident in North Braddock. As reported by CBS News Pittsburgh, the incident unfolded just after 1:30 p.m. on Sunday on the 700 block of 6th Street. Shots were fired at an occupied vehicle, which was hit multiple times, but miraculously, no individuals were injured.

The suspects, identified as 15-year-old Nasir Williams and 17-year-old Jmeire Estes, were apprehended after a warrant was executed on Maple Street in East Pittsburgh. At the scene, four firearms were recovered, including a handgun equipped with an illegal device that converts it to fully automatic fire. A WTAE report highlights that both suspects are now facing numerous charges, including aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy.

Further investigations linked the two teenagers to other shots-fired incidents, with the initial confrontation originating from a dispute over a damaged gun violence memorial in Braddock Borough. According to the criminal complaint, the altercation escalated after a staring incident between the two parties.
