Saevon Scott-Ponder, a 21-year-old African American man, was killed on March 24, 2016, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His death followed a violent dispute over a drug-related debt: Scott-Ponder allegedly owed someone 100 Xanax pills. He was taken from a residence on Boggs Avenue in the Mt. Washington neighborhood after being chased through an alley; surveillance footage reportedly shows two men pursuing him while a woman helped force him into a vehicle. He was later led into a wooded area and shot multiple times.

Pittsburgh police charged 21-year-old Mitchell Coles with homicide and kidnapping on March 28, 2016; Coles’ body was later found in a wooded area near the Beltzhoover neighborhood. Twenty-four-year-old Erica Harris was charged with aiding and abetting kidnapping and conspiracy to commit murder; she is accused of driving the vehicle used in the abduction and assisting Coles and another man. Johnnie Raines is identified as another accomplice.
