On the evening of September 12, 2016, 17-year-old Dalon Williams was fatally shot after being dropped off near his home in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood. He had just returned from a court-ordered after-school program connected to a specialized juvenile probation service when the transport van pulled away and gunfire erupted in the 5300 block of Mossfield Street. Police found Dalon in a grassy area shortly after 9 p.m.; paramedics pronounced him dead at 9:12 p.m.

Dalon was an 11th-grade student at Pittsburgh Milliones 6-12, where he had been enrolled since middle school. The school district provided counselors to help students and staff cope with the sudden loss. Dalon’s mother, Malika Williams, has publicly questioned whether the transport van driver should have stayed until he reached his door.

Did anyone in the Garfield area see Dalon that night or notice the transport van’s movements?
