Fifteen-year-old Curtis Anthony Pounds III was walking home after his first Carrick High School football game when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on September 10, 2015. The shooting on Brownsville Road in the Knoxville neighborhood of Pittsburgh also wounded two other people and was described as retaliation for an earlier incident in which the assailants’ vehicle had been shot at. Curtis was not involved in gang activity and was reported to have been an innocent bystander.

Police arrested multiple suspects in the weeks after the killing. In October 2015, officers took into custody Daquan Moore, then 20; Romier Nevels, 17; and Antwan Martinez, 17, with Nevels and Martinez charged as adults. In December 2015, 19-year-old Keyshawn Givens was identified as the shooter and arrested. A fifth person, Eric Wormsley, was also charged in connection with the drive-by.

By early 2018 several defendants had pleaded guilty: three pleaded to third-degree murder, with Keyshawn Givens sentenced to 12 to 24 years and both Daquan Moore and Romier Nevels sentenced to 6 to 15 years; Antwan Martinez, who cooperated, pleaded to conspiracy to commit third-degree murder and received time served after nearly two and a half years behind bars. The status of charges against Eric Wormsley was not specified. Did anyone in the community have information about Curtis’s movements that night or about the sequence of events leading up to the shooting?
