Reginald Turner was 18 when he was shot and killed on October 4, 2014, in the stairwell of an apartment building in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood. The shooting happened during an altercation involving Turner and at least one other person; Turner was pronounced dead at the scene and the case was investigated as a homicide.

An 18-year-old from Penn Hills, Copeland Tyler, was arrested and charged with homicide and carrying a firearm without a license. Tyler said he acted in self-defense and that Turner’s companion fired first. In a nonjury trial Tyler was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and two firearms offenses and received a sentence of 12 ½ to 29 years in prison.

Turner’s family and friends mourned a young life cut short, and the case attracted local attention because of the violence and the self-defense claims. Does anyone have information about Turner’s movements that night or the people involved in the altercation?
