An Aliquippa man was killed and three others wounded during a shooting Saturday morning in Coraopolis.

Allegheny County Police said the shooting was reported at about 1:45 a.m. along the 800 block of Fourth Avenue.

First responders to the scene found a man dead from apparent gunshot wounds.

The Allegheny Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man as Anthony Johnson Jr., 35.

Two other men and a woman were also shot, according to police.

The wounded people were transported to area hospitals where they were listed in stable condition.

Allegheny County Police provided an update Saturday afternoon.

“All individuals involved in the shooting have been identified,” the statement said. “Detectives will complete their investigation and submit the facts to the District Attorney’s Office for a charging determination.

“There is no danger to the public.”

While the medical examiner has identified the deceased, police did not identify the other who were shot.

Homicide detectives have asked the public to anonymously report information by calling 1-833-ALL-TIPS (255-8477).
