Susan Yvonne Hays, 62, was found unresponsive inside her home on Wilhelm Street in the Elliott neighborhood of Pittsburgh on a Saturday night in mid-December 2022. A family member discovered her and emergency medics pronounced her dead at the scene just after 11:30 p.m. There was a significant amount of blood around her head.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the head. Neighbors later reported hearing what they believed were screaming and gunshots that night. Police opened a full investigation and said it was ongoing; no suspects or arrests were publicly named. One neighbor said two unfamiliar men had been seen in Hays’s yard a couple of weeks earlier, but it is unknown whether that led to any leads.

If anyone has information about Susan Hays, the events on Wilhelm Street that night, or the two men seen near her property, please come forward with what is known.
