Stephen Drake Jr., 47, was shot to death while riding his motorcycle in Shadyside on May 5, 2018. A well-known community activist from Homewood, he was a husband, father of 11 and grandfather of four. Detectives say the shooting appeared targeted, but the motive is unclear.

No arrests have been announced and investigators describe cooperation from the neighborhood as limited. His widow Karla Drake has publicly urged residents to break the code of silence and provide information that could help solve the case. The Pittsburgh Police continue to list the homicide as an open investigation.
