Derek Anthony McClellan, 44, was found shot to death inside his running SUV at the intersection of Broad and Chambers streets in Clairton on the morning of July 10, 2015. A passing motorist discovered him in the driver’s seat; neighbors reported hearing about four or five loud pops around 4 a.m., and the body was discovered roughly two hours later. McClellan had been shot multiple times in the head in what police described as an execution-style killing.

Investigators recovered a large quantity of narcotics in the vehicle and noted McClellan’s extensive criminal record, which included a prior attempted homicide charge, prompting police to suspect a drug-related motive. The SUV bore a Louisiana license plate. McClellan was a father of eleven and a grandfather; he was survived by his wife, Carla, and several siblings, and was later buried in Carnegie.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Did anyone in the Clairton or McKeesport area see that SUV or the vehicle’s occupants around July 10, 2015?
