John Miller, 40, of Pittsburgh was shot five times in the head and killed on January 26, 2017, on the city steps in the Spring Hill–City View neighborhood. Investigators identified Justin Parrotte, 31, of Pittsburgh, as the person responsible; Parrotte allegedly sought Miller on January 25, 2017, because he believed Miller was an informant in a drug case. Prosecutors’ case relied on testimony from two witnesses and surveillance camera footage, and Parrotte maintained he had no reason to kill Miller.

After the shooting, Parrotte and a witness reportedly walked to a North Side playground where Parrotte played on swings. The death devastated Miller’s family and drew attention in the community. If anyone knew John Miller, his movements that week, or saw activity on the Spring Hill city steps around January 25–26, 2017, please share what is known.
