Trijuan Williams, 17, was shot and killed inside his aunt and guardian Valetta Hosey’s home on Martha Street in Munhall on the night of April 21, 2014. The shooting occurred about 9:30 p.m. when gunfire came from the yard and penetrated the house; early reports said one or two gunmen fired through a window, while later accounts described four people shooting into the residence. Nine or ten shots were reported and one bullet struck Williams in the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family and friends remembered Williams as funny, laid-back, and not someone associated with trouble; funeral information identified him as Trijaun Cortez Williams, formerly of Erie and a senior at Steel Valley High School who enjoyed dancing, fashion, sports, and time with his brothers. By mid-May 2014, police had secured arrest warrants for four people and charged them with homicide, conspiracy, firearms violations, and recklessly endangering another person. Authorities arrested Corey Palmer, 19, of Munhall, and Terron Brown, 19, of McKeesport; Deondre Broadus, 19, of East Pittsburgh, and Marquille Wright, 19, of Wilkinsburg were also named.

If anyone knew Trijuan or has information about the shooting on April 21, 2014, please share what might help the record.
