On the afternoon of Saturday, August 25, 2018, 22-year-old Tarue Johnson was found inside a home in the 1500 block of Swissvale Avenue in Wilkinsburg, near Pittsburgh, after suffering multiple gunshot wounds to the head and neck. He was pronounced dead at the scene around 12:30 p.m. Investigators reported a forced entry: a witness described a heavy-set Black male in all-black clothing with a masked face forcing his way into the residence moments before shots were fired.

Johnson had an extensive criminal history. He was wanted at the time for allegedly stealing his sister’s car in May 2018 and fleeing a police chase, and he had earlier pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in a 2014 shooting for which he was charged as an adult. His brother, Charles Stevens, was later convicted of third-degree murder in the killing of a witness from that case. The motive for Johnson’s killing was not publicly determined, and police sought tips and offered a reward; no arrests had been announced as of late 2018.

Does anyone have information about that day or remember seeing suspicious activity on Swissvale Avenue on August 25, 2018?
