Anthony Michael Raymond, a 27-year-old from Pittsburgh, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead on March 4, 2021, in the 500 block of Fifth Street Extension in Trafford, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed his identity.

Allegheny County police arrested 20-year-old Jesse Chaz Parks of Verona in connection with the killing. Parks was charged with criminal homicide, tampering with evidence, and receiving stolen property after investigators found a .40 caliber Smith & Wesson pistol reported stolen near the scene and linked him to the shooting by ballistic evidence and witness statements. He was located hiding in a closet in a child’s bedroom and had an active arrest warrant out of Florida; he was also previously a suspect in an August 2020 shooting at a TGI Friday’s in Monroeville where no one was injured.

The shooting happened near the Allegheny–Westmoreland county line and deeply affected the Trafford community. Anyone with information is asked to come forward.
