Mathew Steffy-Ross was a 17-year-old from Pittsburgh who was killed on April 17, 2022 in a mass shooting at a rented Airbnb on the city’s North Side. The party at the property reportedly drew about 200 people; another 17-year-old, Jaiden Za’mar Brown, was also killed. Police opened a major investigation and have been working to identify the shooters, but no arrests have been announced.

Steffy-Ross’s family later filed a lawsuit against Airbnb and other parties involved in the rental, alleging the defendants failed to keep the property from being used for a large, unregulated party attended by minors. His great aunt, Bonnie McLain, has urged the city to tighten short-term rental rules. He was remembered as a kind, respectful young man who enjoyed music and mentored peers through Youth Enrichment Services.

If anyone attended that event or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
