Emanuel Boneza, a 32-year-old man of Rwandan descent, was shot and killed on September 18, 2018, in Pittsburgh. The shooting began in a ravine in Avalon where Boneza was with two other men, Musa Ramadhan Muya and Salim Hamadi Salim. The three had been taking turns firing a semi-automatic pistol that Muya had brought. Boneza, the only one of legal drinking age, went to buy beer and returned with a type Muya disliked. After an argument and two shots fired, Boneza handed the pistol to Muya to reload. Muya instead shot Boneza four times. Boneza ran from the ravine toward West and South Starr avenues and was found on the street near Oak and South Starr shortly before 8 p.m. He was taken to Allegheny General Hospital, where he died of his wounds.

Musa Ramadhan Muya, 21 at the time, was charged with homicide and carrying a firearm without a license. Salim Hamadi Salim, also 21, was charged with tampering with physical evidence and a firearms violation. Has anyone in the area seen or heard details about that night that could help clarify what happened?
