On October 20th, 2013, at around 3 a.m. 21-year-old Jasmine Morris and 27-year-old Demetrius Broadnax were at the Homewood After Hours Club at the intersection of Kelly Street and North Homewood Avenue in Pennsylvania when their dancing was interrupted by gunfire.
Officers were patrolling the area when they noticed several people running from the club. Two women approached the officers and stated they had been shot. The officers were then approached by the club’s owner who said there were two other people shot inside.
The officers then found Jasmine and Demetrius on the ground and unresponsive. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Three other people also went to local hospitals with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Jasmine's friend Tiffany Hopkins was dancing with her when she was shot and killed.
"She was saying, 'Dance with me,' and just fell in my arms, just fell, because we were twerking and she just fell and she said, 'Tiff, I got hit. I got hit," Hopkins said.
Jasmine leaves behind two boys and a girl.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Homicide Unit at (412)-323-7161.
