On the morning of March 22, 2022, 45-year-old Tiwand Hill was found shot to death inside an apartment unit at the Bedford Dwellings Apartment Complex in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. A 911 call shortly before 8:30 a.m. prompted officers to the 2400 block of Bedford Avenue, where Hill was pronounced dead at the scene. His death, just days before his 46th birthday, drew family and friends to the building and left the community shaken.

The initial investigation produced no immediate suspects. A local business owner who had coached Hill in little league described him as a very nice man and called the killing senseless. On August 12, 2022, Pittsburgh police and the U.S. Marshals arrested 32-year-old Robert Freeman and charged him with criminal homicide and carrying a firearm without a license; he was placed in the Allegheny County Jail after the arrest.

If anyone knew Tiwand Hill or has information about what happened that morning, please come forward.
