Anthony Lofton was a 22-year-old father of twin daughters from Pittsburgh. On the morning of March 13, 2022, a passerby found his body lying in Derby Alley in McKees Rocks around 6:30 a.m.; first responders pronounced him dead at the scene. An autopsy confirmed he died from a gunshot wound to the head.

The investigation quickly focused on his girlfriend, 24-year-old Brook Lynn Lank. Prosecutors say the couple had a violent altercation at her home on March 12, 2022, in which Lofton allegedly pushed her and threatened her with two guns. She left in a rental car but returned and, prosecutors report, the two left together around 5 a.m. on March 13. Lank told police she took Lofton’s gun, shot him once and, when he was still moving, shot him two more times. Surveillance shows a burgundy Ford Taurus stopping in Derby Alley around 6:05 a.m.; a man removed Lofton’s body from the passenger seat and left him in the road.

Police arrested Lank on March 14, 2022; she admitted to shooting Lofton, panicking, and leaving his body in the alley, and acknowledged trying to clean the blood from the car. Did anyone in the McKees Rocks or McKeesport area see the burgundy Ford Taurus that morning or recognize the man seen removing the body?
