North Shore Bar Stabbing: Man Pleads Guilty To Murder Charge

PITTSBURGH, PA — A Bellevue man has pleaded guilty to third degree murder in connection with the 2018 death of a man outside of Tequila Cowboy on the North Shore. Joden Rocco, 27, also pleaded guilty to possessing instruments of crime.

Rocco stabbed Dulane Cameron Jr., 24, of Monaca, Beaver County, in the neck moments after being denied entry to the bar. Cameron died at the scene.

Shortly after the stabbing, The Daily Mail of London last week posted a video from Rocco's Instagram page prior to the incident. The video appears to show Rocco saying he is playing a game to see "how many times we can say (a racial slur) to the bartender before we get kicked out."

Rocco is white. Cameron was Black.

Rocco will be sentenced on June 2.
