Tanner Joseph Morton was 16 when he was shot and killed on August 19, 2020, while walking near Mount Washington Park in Pittsburgh. The shooting happened at about 7 p.m.; friends rushed him to his parents’ house and he later died at a hospital. Responding officers located a car that had been struck by a bullet but did not find a victim or a suspected shooter at the scene.

Tanner’s mother, Velma Palombia, believes her son was targeted because of a past disagreement and says she has an idea who might have been responsible, but no one has been charged. The family has set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses and is urging the public to share any information that could help investigators. The police describe the investigation as ongoing.

If anyone was in the Mount Washington Park area that evening or has information about a dispute involving Tanner, can you please come forward?
