Gregory G-Lipp McLeod, 28, was shot and killed on January 3, 2017, in Pittsburgh’s Homewood neighborhood, recorded as the city’s first murder victim of that year. Family describe him as a gentle giant, a loving father of three young children who often voiced his dislike of guns and did not have known enemies.

Pittsburgh police have not named suspects or persons of interest, and the investigation reportedly has produced no leads or arrests. His sister, Allison McLeod, has publicly urged anyone with information to contact authorities, stressing that Gregory would not have wanted retaliation.

The community and family continue to press for answers as they grieve and seek closure. If anyone knew Gregory or has information about what happened that morning, please contact the Pittsburgh police with what you can share.
