Christopher Rodriguez, 20, was shot outside his Arlington Avenue home in the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh in August 2016 and managed to return inside before dying a short time later. An autopsy found he had been shot at least three times, including a wound to the face.

The day after the shooting, police arrested 18-year-old Kenneth Murphy. Investigators say Murphy and Rodriguez were friends and that Murphy had been at Rodriguez’s home the night he was shot. Murphy initially said he went there only to use a cell phone charger but later admitted he had gone to buy a gun for $450. He told police he believed a revolver was unloaded, pulled the trigger multiple times, and the weapon discharged. After the shooting Murphy fled with the weapon and two other guns, which he later threw into nearby woods; police recovered the bag of guns following his confession. Murphy was held in the Allegheny County Jail on charges including criminal homicide, receiving stolen property, and weapons violations.

Did anyone in Allentown know Christopher or have information about his last hours?
