Josiah Battle-Davis, a 26-year-old Black man from Pittsburgh, was found fatally shot inside a silver SUV parked along the 200 block of Glenwood Avenue in Hazelwood. The vehicle was reportedly still running when officers arrived just after midnight on January 11, 2019, though one listing records the loss as January 10. Witnesses told police the SUV had been parked on the street since earlier in the day and the driver’s-side window had been shattered by a bullet, suggesting the shooting happened while he was inside or near the vehicle.

Pittsburgh police treated the death as a homicide and searched for surveillance footage of anyone approaching or leaving the block, but public reports did not describe a motive or any specific confrontation leading to the shooting. No suspect was publicly identified, and later public roundups still listed the case as unsolved with no arrest, charge, trial, or conviction reported. Memorial notices show family and friends gathered for services in Homewood and remembered him fondly.

Did anyone in Hazelwood that day see the SUV or anything suspicious on Glenwood Avenue?
