Thomas Johnson Jr., 45, was fatally shot in Mon View Heights, West Mifflin, on a Monday night in May. He was found in a nearby yard with gunshot wounds to his head and face and was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting occurred around 11:18 p.m. in an area of the apartment complex known as the tunnel, a space between two buildings.

Allegheny County Police identified 37-year-old Daymond Wiggins, known as Day Day, as a suspect and obtained an arrest warrant alleging Wiggins approached Johnson in the tunnel and fired multiple shots. A witness reportedly returned fire at Wiggins with their own firearm and then fled. The motive has not been publicly released.

Wiggins was charged with criminal homicide and carrying a firearm without a license; records note a prior guilty plea to aggravated assault that made firearm possession illegal for him. Police later apprehended Wiggins during a traffic stop in Indiana.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what led up to it, can you share what you know?
