Tara Joseph, 43, was one of three people shot and killed in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, on June 19, 2020. Gunfire was reported around 1:30 a.m. near Coal Street. The other victims were Oliver Andrew Finley, 43, and Harold Hicks, 51.

Police described the suspect as a Black man wearing a light blue shirt and khaki pants who fled in a royal blue Pontiac G6; a BOLO for that vehicle was issued and Allegheny County police asked the public to come forward. Investigators say the victims knew one another and that the shooter struck two people before moving down the street and shooting a third.

Joseph is survived by her child Brooklyn Joseph and her mother Carolyn Dukes; she was also the stepdaughter of Rev. Frederick Dukes Sr. A family fundraiser was started to help cover funeral expenses. Has anyone in the Wilkinsburg area seen the described Pontiac G6 or remembers anything from that early morning?
