Dontae Thompson, a 27-year-old Black man from Pittsburgh, died on April 1, 2016, after being shot multiple times while driving in the Fineview neighborhood. After being struck, he tried to drive away but lost control; his car crashed and rolled over. He was taken to Allegheny General Hospital for surgery but did not survive.

Pittsburgh police identified Andre Branch-Samuels, a 24-year-old man, as a suspect after surveillance footage showed him driving a white Ford Focus. The vehicle was later found and seized. Branch-Samuels was arrested and charged with homicide, firearms violations, and tampering with evidence. Investigators say the two had a confrontation before the shooting; authorities did not disclose a motive.

Does anyone have information about the Fineview area on April 1, 2016, or remember seeing a white Ford Focus that day?
