One McKeesport man is in jail and police are searching for another city resident in connection with an armed robbery at a McKeesport grocery store.

Tyreik Khalil Milton, 20, and Michael Gunter, 19, of Sixth Street, are both charged with two counts of robbery and one count each of theft by unlawful taking and recklessly endangering another person. 

Milton is additionally charged with single counts of carrying a firearm without a license and disorderly conduct.

Police were dispatched Tuesday to Shop ’n Save on Lysle Boulevard after a woman, later identified as Janesha Porch, called 911 to report that two males robbed her at gunpoint and stole her money, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
