On a late Sunday night in August 2015 a dispute over $17,000 escalated into a fatal shooting on the Parkway East in the Churchill area of Pittsburgh. Shaka McGhie, 24, of Forest Hills, was a passenger when a struggle broke out in the backseat; according to an account tied to the case, the fight began after McGhie allegedly forced the driver to circle while demanding money and then threatened another passenger. During the altercation Keontre Easley, then 19, shot McGhie multiple times. McGhie was taken to a nearby children’s hospital and pronounced dead shortly after 11:30 p.m.

McGhie had survived a previous 2011 nightclub shooting that his family said left him using a cane. A few days after the Parkway East shooting Easley turned himself in and was charged with homicide and carrying a firearm without a license; later court filings show he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and a gun charge and received a sentence in October 2016. Does anyone have additional information about McGhie’s life or the events that night?
