Daniel A. Carpenter, a 42-year-old Black man from Pittsburgh, was shot while sitting in a vehicle in the Larimer neighborhood on the afternoon of March 17, 2019. Officers who responded to reports of gunfire at Shetland Street and Victor Way found Carpenter with a gunshot wound to the neck; a bystander applied a shirt to try to stop the bleeding before emergency crews arrived. Witnesses said several shots were fired and one witness reported Carpenter’s son was on the other side of the car during the shooting.

Carpenter was transported to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in critical condition and, according to obituary-related records and news reports, died of his injuries on March 18, 2019. Investigators sought witnesses and reviewed footage from a camera near Shetland and Lowell Streets. In June 2020 Pittsburgh police announced an arrest: Isaiah Evans, then 22, was taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide and gun-related offenses in connection with the shooting. News reports did not provide a reported motive or further case disposition.
