Kenneth Baptiste Jr., 27, was shot and killed after an argument at a birthday party in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh in the early hours of March 30, 2019. The gathering was being streamed on Facebook Live when a dispute between Baptiste and another guest, Geron Anderson, turned physical. Anderson produced a gun and shot Baptiste inside a residence on North Murtland Avenue, then chased him outside and fired additional shots.

Police found Baptiste on the street shortly before 1:30 a.m. with at least one gunshot wound to his upper body. He was taken to a hospital in what was described at the time as stable condition but died soon after; the Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

An arrest followed on June 19, 2019, when Geron Anderson was taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide and firearm violations. If anyone at the party or who knew Kenneth has information about what led to the argument, please come forward.
