A third person has been charged with attempted homicide in connection with a shooting in Uniontown earlier this month that injured two men.

An arrest warrant was filed Thursday for Isaiah M. Farrell, who is accused of firing multiple shots into a car on Varndell Street in the city on June 11.

Pharoah Sewell was hit by multiple bullets while sitting in the passenger side of the car. Another man, Davontae Clayton, was sitting outside the car when shots were fired, but got behind the wheel and drove off before alerting nearby police about the incident. Although Clayton was not hit by gunfire, he had a large gash on his forehead. Both men were taken to WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital for treatment and survived.

Santana Daily Jones, 21, of Uniontown, is accused of being one of the other shooters, state police said, and was charged June 14 with attempted murder, conspiracy and aggravated assault. Vincent Edward Pratt III, 19, is charged with conspiracy to commit attempted murder because his vehicle was seen on video surveillance dropping off the two men and then picking them up after the shooting, according to documents the court.

Police said Farrell and Jones were seen on surveillance video before the shooting, sitting at a convenience store in Uniontown, wearing the same clothes described as being worn by the attackers at the time of the shooting. They later changed clothes and returned to the same store, police said. Investigators said they also used GPS coordinates from Jones’ ankle monitor to track his position at the time of the shooting, which would have placed him at the scene.

Farrell, 22, of North Union Township, is charged with two counts each of attempted murder, conspiracy, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment and one count of criminal mischief. The arrest warrant is being filed in the Uniontown office of District Judge Jason Cox.
