Elaine Pearson, 63, was found dead inside her silver SUV on Lincoln Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood in the early morning of August 12, 2018. Authorities determined she died of a gunshot wound and opened a homicide investigation; police believe she may have been in her car for several hours before her body was discovered around 5:30 a.m.

Pearson was a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Born in Philadelphia, she graduated from Wilkinsburg High School, married Barry Pearson and had a daughter. After his death she moved to Los Angeles and worked for the U.S. Postal Service, later returning to Pittsburgh, earning a degree in chemistry and working for the Calgon company. At the time of her death she was employed at Amazon Prime and volunteered at a local food bank.

Police learned she had been at a local bar with friends the evening before she was killed and have appealed for information about who she might have been with after leaving the bar. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified; Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Does anyone have information about her movements that night or who she may have been with after leaving the bar?
