Justin Ballard, 26, of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, was shot in the back during a late-morning incident in Third Street Park on Saturday, April 25, 2015. Reports placed the shooting near Progress and Amelia streets, with the emergency call coming in around 11:30 a.m. Ballard was taken to Allegheny General Hospital and died several hours later; the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed his death.

An obituary listed him as Justin Randolph Ballard, also recorded as Steedley, and described him as a father, son, brother, grandson, uncle, and nephew. In late July 2015 Allegheny County homicide detectives arrested Allen Mosley, a teenager from McKees Rocks, charging him with homicide and weapons violations; reporting differed on whether he was 16 or 17 at the time and said he was charged as an adult. Mosley was held without bail pending a preliminary hearing.

Did anyone in the McKees Rocks area see activity in Third Street Park that morning or have information about a drug deal in that neighborhood?
