Will Chaffin was found fatally shot on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at a house on the 1300 block of Ridge Street in McKeesport, Pa. He was 14 years old. Allegheny County 911 received a call about shots fired in the area at about 2:37 p.m. Friends and family called Chaffin “Lil Will.” One of the many who gathered at the scene to mourn and learn more, longtime McKeesport resident Agnes Thompson dabbed her eyes with a tissue as she paced the street. “He’ll be sadly missed,” said Thompson, adding that her prayers went out to the boy’s mother, a friend of her daughter’s. “I wish they had some peace over here.”<\/p>\n
