On October 31, 2020, shortly after 9 p.m. in Pittsburgh’s Allentown neighborhood, gunfire on Beltzhoover Avenue left three people dead and at least two others wounded. Twenty-one-year-old Laffayette Gordon and 17-year-old Joseph Hendricks were found deceased at the scene. A 24-year-old, Malik Allen, was taken to a hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head and died the next day. A second 17-year-old male survived a gunshot to the face and was hospitalized in stable condition.

Police say the violence appeared to begin in the street and then moved into a house. Violent Crime and Mobile Crime units processed the block for evidence, and authorities stated the shooting was not connected to a Halloween party or similar gathering. Investigators reported a significant development: those believed responsible for the shooting were among the people killed or injured, and there were no suspects at large; no arrests had been made.
