Arquwonna Wright, 30, was shot multiple times and died near Main Street and Fifth Avenue in Tarentum, Pennsylvania, just after 11 p.m. on December 16, 2021. A mother of two who had moved from Youngstown, Ohio, she was pronounced dead at the scene; the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office later attributed her death to gunshot wounds to the head and back and ruled it a homicide.

Investigators focused on DaShawn Frederick, 28, of Wilkinsburg, identified as the father of her infant child. Frederick, an active-duty Army soldier stationed in Hawaii, was on leave in the Pittsburgh area that day. Authorities say he rented a car from Pittsburgh International Airport, surveillance footage showed Wright approach the rented SUV at a stop sign and muzzle flashes from inside the vehicle, and evidence tied shell casings at the scene to firearms he purchased the day before. Gunshot residue was reportedly found inside the rental car, which was returned to the airport on December 20. A brief phone call and a text message between Wright and Frederick occurred moments before the shooting.

DaShawn Frederick turned himself in to authorities at Pittsburgh Municipal Court on December 23 and was taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide.

Did anyone in the Tarentum area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
