Warrant Issued for 16-Year-Old in Ross Park Mall Shooting That Injured Teen

Evidence from mall video, paired with a school police identification, underpins the case with the 16-year-old still wanted.

Overview

  • Court documents filed Oct. 16 charge Myshawn Scott, 16, with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and firearms offenses tied to the Sept. 30 shooting.
  • Surveillance footage cited in the complaint shows Scott firing at least three shots toward a group of teens, with rounds striking parked vehicles.
  • The wounded teenager arrived at Allegheny General Hospital and told police, in a parent's presence, that he returned fire before being shot in the leg.
  • Investigators shared images with Pittsburgh Public Schools Police, who identified the suspect; records indicate Scott and the victim attend the same high school.
  • A multi-jurisdiction police response recovered shell casings across the lot between Dick's Sporting Goods and Nordstrom, and court records show Scott has not been taken into custody.
