Tayrod Eugene Ford, 40, was found shot to death in the stairwell of an apartment building in the Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar neighborhood of Pittsburgh on August 14, 2022. The shooting occurred around 6:20 p.m., and medics pronounced Ford dead at the scene. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed his identity.

Authorities say the motive remains unclear and the scene is being processed for evidence. The apartment complex’s security has been raised as a concern, and the victim’s family has been urged to consider their options if management failed to provide adequate protection.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the stairwell security or who was in the building that evening, please come forward.
