Fourth person charged in Vanderbilt homicide

By Alyssa Choiniere achoiniere@heraldstandard.Com 2 min read

A fourth person was charged with criminal homicide in the death of a 29-year-old man in Vanderbilt Sept. 17.

Djamar “Bloody” Rodgers, 26, of Crawford Village in McKeesport was denied bail in the death of Tywain J. Reid, who was gunned down in the middle of a road in the small town. Rodgers, Roy William Aller Jr., 20, Peaches Spring Logan, 41, both of Dawson and Sjon-Luc Bochnak, 24, of Dunbar are all facing two counts of criminal homicide and three counts of robbery.

According to court documents, the accused were attempting to rob Reid of drugs and money when he was killed.

Limited details were available in the case because much of the paperwork filed with the charges was sealed by a Fayette County judge.

Reid was found dead on Center Street near its intersection with Walnut Street at about 8:50 p.m. that night with multiple gunshot wounds. Neighbors said Reid lived nearby. Police said his last official address was in North Braddock.

Bullets damaged at least three cars and a building near the intersection.

Rodgers has faced multiple charges in Allegheny County. On July 6, he was charged with false identification to law enforcement and possession of marijuana, which were later withdrawn. In 2011, he was charged with firearm not to be carried without a license and resisting arrest. In both 2011 and 2014, he was charged with possession with intent to deliver.
