Bronson Waite was 23 when he was found shot to death in his living room on January 21, 2016, in the Perry North neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Police were initially called on January 20 for shots fired in the 3900 block of Vinceton Street but found no victim; Waite’s father discovered his body the next day with four gunshot wounds. The crime scene investigation showed several items missing from the home, including a Microsoft Xbox One, two pistols, an Apple iPad, surveillance cameras, and a cell phone, indicating robbery as a motive.

A witness said they had gone with a man named Daron Clark to Waite’s home to buy marijuana days before the killing, and that Clark called afterward saying he intended to rob Waite because he needed money. Police tracked the stolen cell phone to a Marshall-Shadeland residence and executed a search warrant on January 27, 2016; Clark fled out the back carrying one of Waite’s stolen firearms and officers recovered the other missing items inside. Clark was arrested and charged; he later pleaded guilty and received a term in prison. Another man, Damon Bledsoe, was identified as an alleged co-defendant in the robbery.

If anyone knew Bronson, his movements in the days before January 20–21, 2016, or has information about the robbery, please come forward.
