Overview
- George Mitchell Jr., 45, now faces a criminal homicide charge in the stabbing of Jinx Hairston following Thursday’s alleged rampage across Allegheny County.
- Investigators say the spree began around 3 p.m. in North Braddock, where a man matching his description held a woman at gunpoint and fled in a black Cadillac.
- Police report an attempted knife carjacking in Penn Hills minutes later and a crash on Sampson Street that struck a man and a 17-year-old.
- The same black Cadillac then hit two girls on Doyle Street in Wilkinsburg, leaving 14-year-old Prudence Sibley with two broken legs, a fractured shoulder blade and pelvis, and more surgeries ahead.
- Officers say Hairston was attacked at her Penny Drive home and later died at UPMC Mercy, and court papers note Mitchell once lived there under a protection-from-abuse order before his arrest after a crash on Frankstown Road.
