Daymeir Boyd, 17, was found inside an SUV on Frankstown Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Homewood North neighborhood on May 16, 2021, after suffering a fatal gunshot wound. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner confirmed he died at the scene. Boyd, a Black student from Verona who attended Penn Hills High School, was one of several young people connected to the school community lost in a short span, deepening the community’s grief.

Investigators believe Boyd was shot while inside the vehicle at a different location and that the SUV’s driver, who was uninjured, continued driving until stopping where Boyd was discovered. The Pittsburgh Police Major Crimes Unit classified the case as a homicide and led the investigation. As of early 2026, there have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects and the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone knew Boyd, saw the vehicle before it stopped on Frankstown Avenue, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
