WASHINGTON, Pa. — (WPXI) -The car allegedly used by two men in a Tuesday afternoon drive-shooting in the city of Washington has been found. Around 5pm on Friday, police confirmed that they have brought in the car allegedly involved in that shooting. The car was found in Mt. Pleasant Township. A Washington woman was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting around 5 p.m. on Tuesday. An arrest warrant was just issued for the men police say are responsible. According to court documents, 30-year-old Brandon Ronald Allen and 27-year-old Javarr Thomas are wanted by police for shooting Kristin Barfield. Allen is described as a white man, he is 5’10” and weighs 200 pounds. Thomas is described as a Black man, he is 5’4″ and weighs 130 pounds. The suspects could be seen driving a 2006 Chrysler 300. A witness nearby the residence at the time of the shooting told police that they saw a Chrysler 300 pull away from the area of the shooting. The witness said they saw Allen in the backseat of the vehicle and Thomas driving. A criminal history check was conducted, and police found that Allen was convicted of aggravated assault back in 2018, which makes him ineligible to legally possess a firearm. Washington Mayor Scott Putnam says “The City of Washington police department is actively investigating the recent attacks in the city. Our hearts go out to the family of the victim. We pray for an end to these senseless and violent attacks.”
