Romir Talley, 24, was shot and killed by Wilkinsburg police officers on December 22, 2019, after a foot chase in the early morning in the 900 block of Center Street. Police had responded to a call about a man threatening someone with a gun; Talley was identified as the suspect and allegedly fired at officers, who then returned fire and fatally wounded him.

The family has challenged that account, calling for a transparent investigation and for the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office to file homicide charges against the officer who shot Talley. They have filed a federal lawsuit alleging excessive force. Witnesses have provided statements that contradict the officer’s account, and the lack of body and dash camera footage has complicated efforts to determine the sequence of events.

What additional information would help clarify what happened that night, and can anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant evidence come forward?
