New UPDATE: Jacori Redding Shot Dead Pinien Dalmacy According to family members, Pinien Dalmacy was in the middle of what was supposed to be an ordinary evening when it turned into something unimaginable. The 27-year-old was reportedly with friends when he was shot and killed by 25-year-old Jacori Redding, whose arrest late Tuesday night ended an intense manhunt that gripped the neighborhood.
Police said the shooting happened around 9:15 p.m. near the 800 block of Oakwood Avenue, a residential area where families were settling in for the night.Witnesses described hearing a heated argument moments before gunfire erupted. When officers arrived, Dalmacy was found lying on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Paramedics tried desperately to revive him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Redding fled immediately, triggering a widespread search that ended several hours later when he was taken into custody without incident. Detectives are now piecing together what led to the fatal confrontation, though early reports suggest a personal dispute may have escalated into violence.
Family members describe Pinien as kindhearted, hardworking, and devoted to his loved ones. “He didn’t deserve this,” one relative said through tears. “He was always smiling, always helping people.” The tragedy has left the community in shock, as friends gathered at the site of the shooting to light candles and leave flowers in his memory.
Authorities confirmed that Redding faces multiple charges, including first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. He remains in custody pending arraignment. As investigators continue their work, Pinien’s family is left with an unfillable void and a growing demand for justice. “We just want answers,” his mother said quietly. “Nothing will bring him back, but we need to know why.”
