On the morning of December 13, 2014, 22-year-old William Jackson-Bosley, a Black man from the Pittsburgh area who lived in Swissvale and had ties to Homewood, was found lying on the side of Taft Avenue in the Beltzhoover neighborhood just after 7:30 a.m. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene after he suffered a gunshot wound to his neck. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner later listed the cause of death as gunshot wounds to the head and neck and ruled the death a homicide.

Pittsburgh police asked the public for help and said they were looking for a black Chrysler PT Cruiser with Pennsylvania plate JPS-4417 as a vehicle of interest. No arrests had been announced and, as of early 2015, no suspects were publicly identified or charged. If anyone has information about William Jackson-Bosley, the vehicle, or the circumstances that morning, please share what is known.
