Lawrence Bradley Jr., 34, was shot and killed on October 2, 2018, in Millvale near the intersection of Beekman Street and Moosewood Avenue. The shooting occurred around 1 p.m. and was described as part of a violent altercation involving multiple gunmen; investigators initially worked to identify everyone involved.

An 18-year-old, Jaden Mahaffey, was arrested and charged in connection with Bradley’s death. Charges included aggravated murder, tampering with evidence, and having weapons while under disability; Mahaffey was held on a $1 million cash bond. Mahaffey later pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced in August 2019 to 18 years in prison.

Family and friends described the deep emotional toll of Bradley’s death: his mother said she could not forgive, and his girlfriend called him a loving father and son, a black Superman. Anyone who knew Lawrence, was in Millvale that day, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
