On the afternoon of January 9, 2018, 25-year-old Diron Lamonn Hopwood was shot and killed in broad daylight in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The shooting occurred around 1:20 p.m. at the intersection of North Murtland and Upland streets. Neighbors reported hearing several gunshots; the ShotSpotter system and multiple 911 calls brought police to the scene.

Officers found Hopwood lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting prompted a temporary lockdown at nearby Westinghouse High School and required school buses to be rerouted around the active crime scene. Police said Hopwood may have been walking with another person just before the attack and that a car might have been involved. He had recently returned from a vacation and had visited his grandmother’s house shortly before he was killed. As of early 2019 no suspects had been publicly identified and the investigation remained ongoing.

Did anyone in Homewood see Diron that afternoon or notice a car or person acting suspiciously near North Murtland and Upland?
