Adan Market 2 has been the center of three fatal shootings since 2021.
PITTSBURGH —
After three deadly shootings in three years, including one over the past weekend, calls continued Saturday for a Pittsburgh market to close.
Dozens took to the streets in the Allentown neighborhood, sending a message to shut Adan Market 2 down.
“This business continues to be a nuisance problem,” said Pittsburgh Councilperson Bob Charland. “There’s mini-marts up and down the street here. This is the only one that continues to have problems.”“It’s kind of like clockwork around here. There’s something that happens here, and somebody is killed. It’s either inside the store or outside of the store. It’s always something that starts inside and comes outside, and then things happen out here, and kids are killed,” said Abiding Missions executive director Jordan Shoenberger.
Both community residents and leaders shared the same sentiment over Adan Market 2 on East Warrington Avenue. The market has been the center of three fatal shootings since 2021. It’s unknown why this exact market has been the commonality, but Charland says he has his suspicions.
