Dayvon Vickers was 15 and a familiar presence in Pittsburgh’s Homewood neighborhood, known as Day-Day for riding his mini-bike and selling bottled water. A student at Pittsburgh Westinghouse and a member of the Safe Passage after-school program, he had lost his mother the year before and was remembered by family and friends as caring and ambitious with a bright smile.

On the evening of March 30, 2022, at the intersection of North Homewood and Frankstown avenues, Dayvon waited on his mini-bike just after 6 p.m. when a male across the street raised a hand and fired three shots. One bullet struck Dayvon in the head. A police officer from the neighborhood arrived first and tended to him until paramedics took over; Dayvon later died at a nearby hospital.

Surveillance footage captured a masked shooter wearing distinctive black pants with large white decals. Police identified a suspect from the video and later charged 17-year-old Shaun Scott with criminal homicide, possession of a firearm by a minor, and carrying a firearm without a license. A jury found Scott guilty of first-degree murder, and on January 15, 2026, he was sentenced to 35 years to life. Does anyone who knew Dayvon or was in Homewood that evening have details that could shed more light on what happened?
