On the evening of September 9, 2016, in West Oakland, Pittsburgh, 20-year-old Wade L. Howard of the Hill District was shot inside an apartment building on De Raud Street. He was struck twice in the chest, taken to UPMC Mercy Hospital in critical condition, and pronounced dead about an hour later; the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds to his torso.

The investigation led to 26-year-old Ronald Satterwhite, also from the Hill District. He was taken into custody on September 23, 2016, and later pleaded guilty in November 2019 to third-degree murder, aggravated assault, and carrying a firearm without a license. At sentencing Satterwhite received nine to 20 years in prison with credit for three years already served; Wade Howard’s two sisters described the profound impact his death had on their lives.

If anyone knew Wade Howard or has information about what happened that night, please share what you remember.
