Tre-quan Embry was 22 when he was shot dead in Homestead, Pennsylvania just after 12:30 a.m. on February 2, 2019. Responding officers found him in the 300 block of E. 17th Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds, including two to the head and one to the leg; he was taken to a hospital and later died. A gun and a bag of ammunition were located near his body.

Embry’s mother reported he had received a call shortly before the shooting and said he would meet someone down the street. Embry’s phone contained messages between him and 15-year-old Corey Mickens arranging a meeting so Embry could sell ammunition; the final message from Embry was sent at 12:33 a.m., minutes before the first 911 calls. In December 2019 Mickens, then in jail on other charges, was charged with criminal homicide; in October 2021 he pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and related counts and received a 15- to 30-year sentence. Embry’s mother said the sentence was not long enough and that she could never forgive Mickens.

Did anyone in Homestead see Embry or a vehicle on E. 17th Avenue that night who hasn’t already spoken to investigators?
