Niko Eugene Dawson, 31, of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, was shot late on July 22, 2020, on Soles Street just before 11:30 p.m. He suffered gunshot wounds to the torso, was taken to UPMC McKeesport Hospital, and died shortly after midnight. A 24-year-old woman was also struck, grazed in the leg, treated at the scene and not hospitalized.

Allegheny County Police Department officers processed the scene with tape and evidence markers. Homicide detectives opened an investigation and asked the public for tips; no arrests had been announced and the case remained unsolved. A walk-through viewing and funeral service were held for Dawson, which family, friends and community members attended.

Does anyone in McKeesport have information about who was in the area of Soles Street that night or other details that could help investigators?
