Shadea Johnson, 32, was shot and killed inside her Homewood home in Pittsburgh shortly before 2:30 a.m. on March 30, 2020. Police arrived after reports of a shooting; paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. Witnesses later told investigators that 45-year-old Sanders Barber had been at Shadea’s house and reportedly was handling a handgun and argued with Shadea’s mother’s boyfriend over a game. After the boyfriend and Shadea’s mother left, Barber allegedly shot Shadea while speaking with her. Barber was not at the scene when officers arrived, but his fingerprints were recovered from a can of beer there. He was arrested in New Jersey in April 2020 and charged with murder; legal filings show he pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and a firearm charge and was sentenced in May 2021.

Shadea’s death drew attention in the Homewood community and is cited in discussions about ongoing gun violence and public safety in the neighborhood. Does anyone have information about Shadea, the events that night, or leads that could still be helpful to investigators or her family?
