A man was shot and killed Friday night while sitting in his vehicle at a gas station in the 4900 block of Allegheny River Boulevard in Penn Hills, authorities said.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner identified the man as 34-year-old Dante Benjamin Jones of Pittsburgh.

Allegheny County Police said the shooting happened around 7:15 p.m. at the Exxon gas station.

Responding officers found Jones sitting inside his vehicle, police said.
