On August 19, 2015, 22-year-old Dersean Alberty-Brown, a Black/African American man and former high school football player from Sharpsville, was shot and killed in Pittsburgh’s East Hills neighborhood. Alberty-Brown and three companions went to a house on Fahnestock Street intending to buy marijuana from two men identified as Deshawn Hall and Raymon Harris. One of Alberty-Brown’s companions was struck with a gun and searched, and when Hall ordered Alberty-Brown inside, he ran back toward the car. Hall pursued him and, as Alberty-Brown raised his hands, shot him multiple times at point-blank range. Alberty-Brown was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds.

Pittsburgh police named Hall and Harris as suspects. Harris was arrested the day after the shooting on charges including criminal homicide, robbery, and conspiracy; a warrant was issued for Hall, who was later located and taken into custody. Are there readers who remember the East Hills area that night or who have information about the people involved?
