Todd Rogers Bell, 25, of New Kensington, died after being shot in a Parnassus alley on June 5, 2016. He was taken to UPMC Presbyterian in Oakland and died the following day. Rogers enjoyed football, basketball, music and rollerblading and had attended Valley High School; he was born May 20, 1991, in Arcadia, California.

Witnesses said Rogers and 23-year-old Daquane Faulk of Penn Hills had been drinking and smoking marijuana together before an argument. The dispute escalated and Faulk shot Rogers twice, including once while Rogers was on the ground. Faulk was arrested five days later in Wilkinsburg wearing the same bulletproof vest reported during the shooting and was charged with first-degree murder and a firearms offense.

An eyewitness at the preliminary hearing said the two had been arguing in an apartment before the shooting. In October 2017 Faulk pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm and received a lengthy prison sentence; an additional consecutive sentence was imposed for assaulting a county jail guard.

Rogers is survived by his parents, Todd Bell and Regina Jackson; siblings Devon and Brandon Dave, Jordan Bell, Adrian Salazar and Noah McDonald; and his grandfather Timothy Jackson. A memorial service was held at Canaan Baptist Church in New Kensington. If anyone knew Todd or has information about the events that led to his death, please share what you know.
