Naekwon Nieem Wright was 24 when he was fatally shot on October 6, 2020, in Pittsburgh’s Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood. Police responded to a ShotSpotter alert and found Wright lying on the sidewalk in the 6400 block of Clifford Street with multiple gunshot wounds; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Known to friends and family as Kwony Bandz, Wright was a father to a young daughter and remembered for his sense of humor and efforts to defy negative stereotypes. Investigators searched for a smaller dark-colored sedan seen leaving the area shortly after the shooting, but no suspects were publicly identified in the immediate aftermath.

The murder remained unsolved and no arrests had been announced. If anyone knew Naekwon, saw activity on Clifford Street that night, or has information about the dark-colored sedan, please come forward.
