James Ponzo, 73, of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, was killed on November 4, 2015 when a bullet struck his head as he drove near the Crawford Village housing complex. The impact sent his car into another vehicle on Fifth Avenue; he did not survive. Ponzo was active in Queen of the Rosary church, served as a Eucharistic minister and frequently volunteered at parish events, and was remembered by friends and parishioners as kind and helpful.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Rashawn Walker as a suspect; he turned himself in to police on November 10, 2015 with an attorney but, at that time, no charges had been filed. Walker denied involvement in the shooting. The investigation remained open as authorities sought to determine what happened.

Did anyone in the area around Crawford Village on November 4, 2015 see or hear anything that could help clarify the shooting?
