On the evening of December 16, 2014, 32-year-old Charles Coleman, a Black man from Pittsburgh’s Allentown neighborhood, was fatally shot at a bar in the 1500 block of Lincoln Avenue in the Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man was struck in the same incident and taken to a local hospital for treatment.

An investigation was opened but, as of a year after the shooting, the murder remained unsolved and no arrests had been announced. Coleman’s mother, Monica Beeman, lost another son to violence years earlier, making this an especially painful and unresolved loss for the family.

If anyone was in or around the 1500 block of Lincoln Avenue that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
