Leryal Matthews was 21 and from Braddock, Pennsylvania when he was shot and killed inside an apartment on Talbot Avenue during an overnight attack on June 20, 2018. Investigators say a man knocked, identified himself as police, and forced the door open; once inside the gunman — described as male, armed with a handgun and with his face obscured by a t-shirt — shot Matthews in the head. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office recorded gunshot wounds to the trunk as the cause of death and the death was ruled a homicide.

County homicide detectives opened an investigation and have said there were no arrests immediately after the shooting. Authorities have continued to seek public tips and offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction; the case remained unsolved as of the latest update.

If anyone has information about the Talbot Avenue shooting or the person who posed as police that night, please contact the Allegheny County homicide investigators.
