Steven Rashaad Bishop, 26, was shot and killed in the area of Cottage Street near East 21st Street in Erie on August 18, 2016. A forensic pathologist testified his death resulted from a gunshot wound to the chest that entered through the left proximal arm and damaged major internal structures; another bullet struck his right foot. Police said Bishop ran or staggered toward a house and his body was later found in a doorway.

Surveillance video showed Bishop walking with Jaquel Shamon Tirado and two others shortly before eight gunshots were heard and two people fled the scene. Investigators recovered tan pants and white T-shirts from Tirado’s bedroom; the pants matched clothing in the footage and showed gunshot residue on the front of both legs and the right pocket. DNA from the zipper area produced a Y chromosome profile consistent with Tirado’s paternal line. An eyewitness reported seeing a person in a white shirt and tan or gray pants put a gun into his pants pocket and then run.

Tirado, who was 17 at the time of the killing, was charged in December 2016 and later tried as an adult. At trial prosecutors relied on the video, eyewitness account, clothing and forensic evidence, and post-shooting behavior; the defense contested identification and the interpretation of the forensic findings. Does anyone have memories or information about Cottage Street on that August day that could shed more light on what happened?
