Tyric Pugh, a 30-year-old man from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, was found shot seven times — five wounds to the head — on Kiehl Street on May 15, 2020. Investigators identified his childhood friend and roommate, Sheldon Jeter Jr., as the last person seen with Pugh; surveillance captured Jeter’s car near the scene and gunshot residue was recovered from that vehicle. A .380 semiautomatic handgun was located under Jeter’s mattress, and four of the rounds recovered at the scene were linked to ammunition found in Jeter’s room.

In June 2021 a jury convicted Sheldon Jeter Jr. of first-degree murder; he was sentenced to life without parole. The defense argued there was no forensic evidence or eyewitnesses placing Jeter at the shooting, while the prosecution relied on the circumstantial chain linking the gun, the ammunition and the surveillance footage. The case drew added attention because Jeter had been questioned in the unsolved 2018 killing of teacher Rachael DelTondo; he denied involvement and was never charged in that case.

Would anyone who knew Tyric or who was in the Kiehl Street area on May 15, 2020, please share what they remember?
