Kaliq Zion Allen Dade, 20, was shot and killed just after 1:30 p.m. on Friday, August 20, 2021, in the 100 block of Center Avenue in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania. Police found him inside a vehicle; paramedics transported him but he died en route to the hospital. A witness reported he was getting into an Uber when the shooting occurred.

Allegheny County investigators identified four people they believe were responsible. An officer stopped a car fleeing the scene in nearby Turtle Creek and took 18-year-old Jonathan Dawson of White Oak into custody as the sole occupant; Dawson was charged with criminal homicide and conspiracy and was held in the county jail with jury selection for his trial scheduled to begin in January 2024. In June 2023 a second suspect, 21-year-old Finel Javon Thompson, was charged with criminal homicide, tampering with evidence, recklessly endangering another person, and firearms violations; Thompson was already jailed on unrelated charges.

Authorities continue to seek two additional suspects believed to have been involved. If anyone has information about Kaliq Dade’s killing or the other persons investigators are looking for, please come forward.
