Lamont Simmons, 27, of Arnold, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed in the early morning of April 5, 2019. He was found lying face down in the street in the 1500 block of Fifth Avenue in Arnold after an early morning shooting and was later pronounced dead at Allegheny Valley Hospital in Harrison at 5:11 a.m.

Police say the shooting followed a dispute between Simmons and 32-year-old Shawden L. Ross of Pittsburgh. Surveillance footage reportedly captured the two arguing before Ross drew a .22-caliber revolver and shot Simmons multiple times. Officers say the revolver had been reported stolen and was recovered during a search of Ross’s residence; Ross was arrested and charged with homicide, illegal gun possession, and receiving stolen property.

Ross was ordered to stand trial; witnesses said the two had been at a party together before the shooting, and Ross claimed Simmons tried to set him up for a robbery. Simmons’ family described him as outgoing, kind, and caring. Did anyone in the Arnold or Pittsburgh area see or hear anything that night that could add detail to the timeline?
