Authorities have recovered the pickup truck believed to be involved in the fatal shooting of Kenneth Hayman in White Oak, Pennsylvania, but as of Monday night, no arrests have been made. The development is a key step in the investigation into a brazen daylight attack that has left the community in shock.
Law enforcement sources confirm the truck was located in Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County, roughly 25 miles from the scene of the shooting. Investigators continue to pursue leads to identify and apprehend those responsible for the killing.
The shooting occurred on Sunday afternoon at the intersection of Jacks Run Road and Lincoln Way, near a busy Wendy’s restaurant. 33-year-old Kenneth Hayman, a member of a local motorcycle club, was riding his motorcycle when he was ambushed, reportedly shot at least twice in the back before collapsing onto the pavement.
Witnesses described the chaotic scene as terrifying, with startled bystanders running for cover as gunfire erupted. Jasmine Reinhart, who was working nearby, recalled hearing five shots and seeing Hayman fall from his motorcycle while attempting to crawl for help.
Authorities say the suspects were in a masked pickup truck armed with long guns, suggesting the attack may have been targeted rather than random. Residents voiced shock and concern over the daylight shooting. Kayla Vezzani, another witness, commented on the unsettling nature of the crime: “Who would just go out in masks in the middle of the day and open fire like that? We’re all a little shook — scared, worried.”
Police are currently processing evidence from the recovered vehicle and are urging anyone with information about the suspects or the truck’s movements to come forward. White Oak residents continue to grapple with the reality that such a violent act occurred in the heart of their town, hoping that the recovery of the truck will lead to swift justice.
